The shootings and attacks by ICE today...someone justify Jefferies as leader after vote to fund ice murders

The nine who voted to fund Ice murder squads and leader Jefferies are must be held accountable for not taking a stand against this.

The 18-25 crowd saw bipartisan support for this gestapo because of those 9 votes and the failure of leadership to whip them into the correct side of history.

I would throw 'peace in our time' leader shumer as well.

And the consultants pay themselves.

But we have our lying eyes.

We don't need to focus group the blood on our hands, and it is very much on all our hands.

You need to message them and convey your anger to them, because Jeffries is the House leader they selected.

Some random person justifying his position as leader is irrelevant, because it ain't up to any of us.
