The budget bill just passed by the Senate provides more than $170 billion in new funding for immigration enforcement and detention.

I’m certain 1 or 2 Democrats would have broken with party line to ensure it passes, we don’t have 50 moral Democrats that can’t be bought. They didn’t need to break the illusion of being the opposition party this time.
Remember that it was under Biden that reporters were dragged out by force for asking questions about Gaza.
Israel were illegally seizing Palestinian land by force under 45. And Obama. And Bush. In fact pretty much as a matter of ongoing policy going back to 1948. Saying that it’s still “Biden’s ongoing genocide” isn’t fair or reasonable when Trump is posting AI videos of himself and Netanyahu enjoying his new casino on the Gaza strip.
I am not saying Democrats are good (or not corrupted)… but blaming democrats for what Republicans are doing is apologetic to republicans
“They would have done x if they were the majority “ is just your speculation. The reality is that the US voted this… and it’s getting this
“I didn’t like getting a paper cut, never doing that again, I’d rather get stabbed with a rusty sword next time.”
