Saying you failed and apologizing now is worthless.

Primary this guy and the other six that voted for this. None of these guys are people that we should be tolerating in the Democratic party with this kind of morality, callousness for human life, and such short sighted vision.

    He’s trying to save face, he would gladly support increases to ice funding once Democrats become the majority party again. And we all have faith that Chuck Schumer is going to find just enough votes in the Senate to ensure that it passes.

    That exact same vote were to come up and Democrats were the majority party. It would have passed with nearly full Democrat support. They cannot be trusted

    You don’t get to say you messed up. You had more than enough evidence to see what ICE was doing and you still voted yes.

    I, a full-time gamer, was able to see and hear what ICE was up to. A representative whose job and connections should allow them to be fully informed, has little excuse for not understanding what they voted for.

    If you are being honest Suozzi, that means you stink at your job. Give it to someone who doesn’t suck. 🤦

    Didn’t ICE already killed a bunch of people before the Minnesota ones?

    According to this Guardian article, 25 people died in ICE custody in 2025. 7 people died in December alone. Was he not aware of these deaths when he voted to give them more money? What a fucking monster.

    Admitting and apologizing is a mild start, but accepting accountability by resigning is what real accountability and remorse would look like for an American politician.

    An honorable Seppuku would also be acceptable and bring back some semblance of honor, as is tradition. We’ll need someone skilled to volunteer to be his second on that.

    Ugh. This DINO is talking out of both sides of his mouth. Let me explain.

    So, Democratic voters have some spine when it comes to the integrity of their representatives. There, an apology is the bare minimum one can do to acknowledge a bad decision or take on something. In past years, that might have actually worked, but I think things are changing.

    Meanwhile the Republicans have demonstrated that acting in accordance with party values - hierarchy, racism, brute force - is all that matters. Say whatever you want and lie your pants off since “the Democrats are probably cheating just as bad, and we’re the chosen people to lead anyway.” Being this duplicitous is a-okay on team R.

    So what we have is someone that is trying to keep his seat cozy, both through lip-service to the left and voting like a right-winger at the same time.

    Seems to be the general consensus for every single fucking thing we try to do to oppose this regime… one way or another, key morons that were told over and fucking over that a particular item would be a major issue, they cross the god damn aisle and only then regret it after it’s too late. They just keep giving this regime the power and strength it needs to deem them obsolete. They just put the damn gun to their own heads and plant a bomb in the way out to take us all with them.

      Because it’s all performative. It’s just lip service. Tom Suozzi and these others don’t give a shit, they just want to remain in power. I despise the DNC almost as much as the RNC and MAGA.

        The down voters need to wake up. Just because the DNC was the lesser of two evils, doesn’t mean that they haven’t been a deliberate stumbling block too.

    The United States is no longer a country of two parties; it’s a country of no parties at all. 😒
