Republicans made no secret of what Democrats were voting for. After the vote Thursday, Representative Tom Cole, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, declared the legislation would “champion American military power, ensuring that our brave warfighters have the tools, weapon systems and capabilities to meet any foe anywhere in the world at any time.” He summarized the bill’s purpose in three words: “America First, Fully Funded.”
Representative Ken Calvert, chairman of the Defense Subcommittee, said the bill “protects the administration’s ‘America first’ defense agenda.”
The House Appropriations Committee issued a statement hailing the “Republican-led funding that puts America First. These bills advance President Trump’s agenda.”
Despite Republicans openly proclaiming that the legislation would fund Trump’s fascistic agenda, nearly two-thirds of House Democrats voted in favor of the defense and consolidated spending bill.

Can we stop being “shocked” by what Democrats do, please?
This is the party now. The billionaires have won.
Find another party to follow. This one is cooked.
This is what the party has always been, but too many people didn’t see it until now because their corruption didn’t impact them yet. Those on the actual left and most marginalized communities have know this for decades.
7 pieces of shit that need primaried, not “the Democrats” as a party:
The seven Democrats who voted for the DHS funding bill—Don Davis, Henry Cuellar, Laura Gillen, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, Vicente Gonzalez, Jared Golden and Tom Suozzi—voted to fund the military occupation of Minnesota currently terrorizing immigrant communities.
Because the solution to this problem is more engagement with the party to fix it, not tuning out and letting the neoliberals have it back
Did we always forget this? And it was the Dem majority in both chambers that gave ice their largest increase of federal funding they’ve ever received under Biden. Democrats only pretend to hate ice when they are not the ones using them
Democrats
Your problem is with squares but because you always talk about rectangles your message is lost
In your arrogant hubris instead of refuting the info you resorted to ad hominem argumentum. The line separating MAGA from BlueMAGA is almost invisable
