    DHS spending bill passed 220-207

    7 Democrats voted in favor:

    • Henry Cuellar
    • Don Davis
    • Laura Gilles
    • Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
    • Jared Golden
    • Vicente Gonzalez
    • Tom Suozzi

    Massie voted No

    Andy Harris didn’t vote

    Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn’t whipping them to do so

    Please note that Henry Cueller is the senior house rep on the Appropriations Committee. If Dems retake Congress, he will be the chair of the committee in the House that controls all the money

      They weren’t whipping up no votes because this is what they wanted. Democrats love the tools of a police state as much as Republicans.

      And because Jeffries gave him all his appointments back after Trump pardoned him for corruption.
