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).

Billionaires have couped the country. They also own the democratic party. They aren't going to save us from themselves.
