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).

We have to vote Democrat or the Republicans will touch me in my sleep

Edit: Apparently this comment was mistaken for sarcasm. I'm not saying Republicans are harmless. I am saying they are sex criminals.

    by touch you in your sleep do you mean direct a federal force to break into and toss private residences without a warrant detaining anyone they feel like along the way and completely ignore due process?

    Correct. Why did you get upvoted and I get downvoted? Did people think I was being sarcastic?

    yes. your comment sounds like you are making light of what republicans are doing or suggests people are worried about something that won't happen (them personally touching you in your sleep). you may have been referencing their tendency for pedophilia but a short comment like that looks flippant relative to the comment you are responding to.
