Seven House Democrats voted in favor of a $64.4 billion bill to advance a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spending measure that includes about $10 billion for ICE. The votes came during a markup of the DHS appropriations bill, with Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky casting the lone Republican vote against the funding, which passed 220-207 and will fund ICE and FEMA through September 30.

The seven Democrats who voted alongside the majority of Republicans to push forward the bill are Representatives

  • Tom Suozzi (New York),
  • Henry Cuellar (Texas),
  • Don Davis (North Carolina),
  • Laura Gillen (New York),
  • Jared Golden (Maine),
  • Vicente Gonzalez (Texas),
  • Marie Glusenkamp Perez (Washington).

This was just the set that got hall passes this time. There was an entirely other set that didn't get the hall passes this go round but will next time.

You anger needs to be with the party, with it's leadership, demanding their resignation. They give out the hall passes. They decide who is allowed to break ranks on which occasion. These betrayers are the current manifestation but they aren't it's origin.
