Saying you failed and apologizing now is worthless.

Primary this guy and the other six that voted for this. None of these guys are people that we should be tolerating in the Democratic party with this kind of morality, callousness for human life, and such short sighted vision.

    You don’t get to say you messed up. You had more than enough evidence to see what ICE was doing and you still voted yes.

    Admitting and apologizing is a mild start, but accepting accountability by resigning is what real accountability and remorse would look like for an American politician.

    An honorable Seppuku would also be acceptable and bring back some semblance of honor, as is tradition. We’ll need someone skilled to volunteer to be his second on that.

    This is the same guy who said Mamdani and AOC should leave the party, blamed trans people for Harris’s loss, and who endorsed Cuomo rather than the Democratic nominee in the NYC mayoral election. I’m sure he’s learned his lesson and will do better the next time.

    He’s trying to save face, he would gladly support increases to ice funding once Democrats become the majority party again. And we all have faith that Chuck Schumer is going to find just enough votes in the Senate to ensure that it passes.

    That exact same vote were to come up and Democrats were the majority party. It would have passed with nearly full Democrat support. They cannot be trusted

      Jeffries didn’t “whip” the bill, allowing moderates and front-line Democrats to vote their conscience, including Henry Cuellar (Texas), Vicente Gonzalez (Texas), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Jared Golden (Maine), Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Wash.), Don Davis (N.C.), and Tom Suozzi (N.Y.).

      Jeffries also had a part in it.
