Congressional News and Discussion

Corbin Trent, a spokesman for Ocasio-Cortez, said she told her colleagues that Democrats who side with Republicans “are putting themselves on a list.”

“She said that when activists ask her why she had to vote for a gun safety bill that also further empowers an agency that forcibly injects kids with psychotropic drugs, they’re going to want a list of names and she’s going to give it to them,” Trent said, referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Our government is so broken. I think he was trying to buy Democrats more time to read the bill, but still. Jesus.

check the list to see if your Democratic rep voted for this…

Mine did not, though LUCY MCBATH (FFS) did… :rage: She was my rep for a little bit there, prior to redistricting… Her entire political career is about protecting children (because of how her son died), but apparently that doesn’t extend to trans kids of service members.
