Seven #Quisling #Democrats voted to fund #ICE, rather than shut it down.

Seven #House Democrats broke with much of their party to vote in favor of funding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), helping advance a Department of Homeland Security (#DHS) spending measure in committee despite strong opposition from progressives.

The seven Democratic representatives who voted yes to approve ICE funding were:

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)

Primary the fuck out of them. I don’t care if we run a goddamn giraffe or an inflated penis balloon, if they aren’t with us, they are against us, and if they are against us, fuck them. ( Disclaimer, I know two of these assholes, and boy howdy are they not gonna be pleased to hear from me in the morning, I can tell you.)

Earlier Rep #TedLieu (D-CA) kicked some #GOP ass for their #lies & #hypocrisy.

Lieu called out his Republican colleagues for choosing to hold a hearing on #JackSmith’s probes into #Trump instead of an oversight hearing into #DOJ’s slow release of files related to the late sex offender #JeffreyEpstein.

#StewartRhodes, the founder of the #FarRight #extremist organization the #OathKeepers, was seen on Capitol Hill on Thursday outside of the hearing room where former special counsel #JackSmith is testifying before the #House #Judiciary Committee.

Rhodes was previously convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy & sentenced to 18 YEARS in #prison for his actions related to the #Jan6, 2021 #insurrection at the US Capitol.

Rep #HankJohnson (D-GA) is also questioning #JackSmith very effectively. Unfortunately it is very clear that this “hearing” is designed to be a sound bite generator for the #Republicans to shop around to #FarRight #media outlets.

#House #Judiciary Committee #JackSmith testimony is back in session after a long recess for unrelated House votes.

#Republican #House #Judiciary Committee members are going to focus on things like #CassidyHutchinson & the #subpoenas for #Congress members’ phone logs, because if they let #JackSmith get into the actual #evidence he gathered against #Trump, it will be damning.

Also the grandstanding performative courtroom drama behavior of the #congress members is quite heavy handed. #JackSmith who has repeatedly been described as measured & calm is coming off a little stiff especially because he keeps being interrupted. He needs to come back at them like they are hostile witnesses.

Former special counsel #JackSmith is publicly testifying before the #House #Judiciary Committee today.

The hearing will examine the operations of Smith’s office & his team’s investigations and prosecutions of #Trump & his co-defendants, according to the committee.
