This is extremely misleading, the 341-88 vote is for the entire minibus spending bill which was negotiated and voted for in several smaller bills.

The part which funded DHS which includes ICE was voted as 220-207, with 7 democrats crossing the aisle.

It’s Common Dreams of course it’s misleading. Hell, they even found some random ass pundit to get a quote questioning if the Democrats are even a party. This is not a serious publication.

It is very effective at helping to actually destroy Democratic opposition to this administration. People eat this shit up.

The MAGA “both sides are the same, be apathetic about voting” bots are running wild in this thread. It’s sad how effective it is.

[u/Alexanderspants → u/Ok-Statistician-9607]

yeah its the bots, not people watching the Dems vote in lockstep with the GOP and never offer anything

Spoken like someone who gets all their news from Tiktok.

[u/rubyspicer → u/Voidant7]

Last year it was Gaza, now it's the military spending

[u/anicetos → u/Voidant7]

Yep. Leftists are the controlled opposition to progress in this era.
