Democratic Lawmaker Says 'I Failed' After Voting To Fund ICE

Then quit so we can get a human in that position.

This is the same guy who said Mamdani and AOC should leave the party, blamed trans people for Harris's loss, and who endorsed Cuomo rather than the Democratic nominee in the NYC mayoral election. I'm sure he's learned his lesson and will do better the next time.

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

He failed at not getting outted. He's only sorry cause his name is now on a list of Dems to replace.

"I'm so sorry I'm being held accountable"😭

No you succeeded you fuck, nobody’s buying this bullshit anymore. You’re a fucking collaborator.

Resign.

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.

Suozzi NY-03 Apologized, regrets vote

Henry Cuellar TX-28 pardoned for bribery by trump

Don Davis NC-01 no primary, no challenger

Laura Gillen NY-04 primary challengers https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/laura_gillen/457010 https://ballotpedia.org/Nicholas_Sciretta

Jared Golden ME-02 not running for re-election

Vincente Gonzalez TX-34 primary challengers https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/vicente_gonzalez/412725 https://ballotpedia.org/Etienne_Rosas

Sorry this is bad paste from my spreadsheet, and doesn't include the links.

But only two of these even have primary challengers.

Get fucked Tom Suozzi. You're on the list of collaborators.

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.

Boo-hoo, resign or stfu

AFTER lmao just as planned boys

"I'm sorry I firebombed a school-" no you're sorry you got caught. What, did he push the wrong button on the vote???

"Oh, no, I failed....

...anyways. "

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.

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.

Resign, failure.

"oopsie doodles. Was I not supposed to do that? My bad."

Yeah put that name on the prosecute list

The real failure is your inability to see that coming.

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.

I don't have enough middle fingers for this asshole.

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. 🤦

Again, trump said he loved what ICE was doing and no republicans are stopping any of this. Do not believe this guy or trump "upset" that any of this happened. He's just trying to make the bad PR go away. Same with this shitty dem.

This is what controlled opposition looks like.

Ask for forgiveness after sticking the boot on your neck. This is not a failure of Tom Suozzi, this is the democratic party working as intended.

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

Unless his plan is to commit Seppuku, he can fuck the fuck off.

What a yutz. His constituents deserve better.

Get this fuck out of politics.

Just coworkers

Fuck off. This is an example of you knew what you were doing and were hoping to not get caught.

Get primaried, you PoS

Suozzi, a moderate who co-chairs the House Problem Solvers Caucus, initially said last week he opposed shutting down the government because ICE would nonetheless continue to function due to an infusion of billions of dollars to the agency from President Donald Trump’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill. He also noted shutting down DHS would affect other agencies, like FEMA and the Coast Guard.

He's got a point, BBB gave ICE 75 billion they can spend however they like in the next decade. They can operate off that for years at current spending levels.

And to Souzzi's credit, he voted against the BBB.

Not passing a budget isn't enough, we need to claw that 75 billion back.

Are there any politicians or military members who might side with the revolutionaries?

A bit late, innit?

Fuck off! Hope he gets voted out.

Still "vote blue no matter who"? Why not primary instead?

He's completely out of touch. I do buy his justification, but that still makes him responsible. He has an amount of power, however small, that none of us do to at least curtail some of what is happening. Failure to use that is support of fascism. He needs to go since he doesn't understand that.

Just another politician doing the wrong thing and then acting like they didn’t understand it later. Because there aren't any consequences.

The real failures are the people that voted for him.
