Republicans made no secret of what Democrats were voting for. After the vote Thursday, Representative Tom Cole, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, declared the legislation would āchampion American military power, ensuring that our brave warfighters have the tools, weapon systems and capabilities to meet any foe anywhere in the world at any time.ā He summarized the billās purpose in three words: āAmerica First, Fully Funded.ā
Representative Ken Calvert, chairman of the Defense Subcommittee, said the bill āprotects the administrationās āAmerica firstā defense agenda.ā
The House Appropriations Committee issued a statement hailing the āRepublican-led funding that puts America First. These bills advance President Trumpās agenda.ā
Despite Republicans openly proclaiming that the legislation would fund Trumpās fascistic agenda, nearly two-thirds of House Democrats voted in favor of the defense and consolidated spending bill.

Can we stop being āshockedā by what Democrats do, please?
This is the party now. The billionaires have won.
Find another party to follow. This one is cooked.
This is what the party has always been, but too many people didnāt see it until now because their corruption didnāt impact them yet. Those on the actual left and most marginalized communities have know this for decades.
