This is completely bonkers. All but 58 Democrats voted in favor of this insanity.
I feel like the world is falling apart. Like I'm the only sane person still alive.
The betrayal to our friends, family and allies in marginalized communities cannot be understated.
Per Axios:
Our lawmakers are being bullied into voting with Republicans and I'm very upset at this. Like more upset than I can state freely.
I'm actually in tears.
All I have to say on that.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
