Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I love that this article makes funding ICE the fault of the Democrats, ignoring the fact that they are a minority. And the people in the comments here are eating it up.
Do I think the Democrats have the good of the American people in mind? No. Do I think this article has successfully manipulated people into mentally shifting the blame, if momentarily, to the wrong party? Fuckin’ oath!
Yeah, it’s not to often (read: never) that the minority gets to bring a budget bill to the floor for a vote.
All they can do for this is vote against it. Jeffries not whipping against the resolution is fucking horrible, though. He needs to go.
Bullshit. The Republicans are the fascists in power. Being angry at them is the default, nothing to say. The Democrats can be either resisting or enabling. People have every fucking right to be mad at the enablers who should be resisting.
Your comment is the equivalent of saying "yea the crime in my city is caused by criminals and corrupt cops, but it's mostly the criminals, so look why are you eating up the propaganda that you should be mad at the police?".
As non-maga American voters you guys need to be holding your enabler Democrats to account. We, the rest of the world, know the Republicans are beyond your control. Your fucking Democrats though? That's on you.

Seven House Democrats voted for the ICE bill after minority leader Jeffries decided Dems couldn't obstruct the vote and the bill was certain to pass. Of course, this was a Republican bill which Republicans all voted for, but that doesn't matter to these horseshoe left ideologues. They're all in with the GOP, because the GOP sprays accelerationist fire onto the government never mind the damage to peoples' lives.
Bernie's been in politics for decades, and how dare he's not done anything about this! I don't care if he's in the minority and by definition the country is conservative but why the hell did we just vote him in? He's really just Republican light!
Bernie is voting against these policies and the other democrats for them, just enough to get it passed always. Just like when the government was shut down and the Republicans were wildly unpopular, Bernie voted no, the other democrats "minority that can't do anything" voted yes and we got healthcare cuts.
All other democrats?
