This is true for an upsettingly large number of representatives

Yeah, but people tend to get lazy in the midterms.

She took credit for the Democrat-led push to give ICE bodycams.

My eyes are rolling to the back of my head. Does this matter to anyone? Like, I get the point of the article is politicians taking credit for popular policies they originally opposed; but is this really the best example? Dems pushing ICE agents to wear body cameras?? Body cameras on ICE agents...

Seriously this is pretty common stuff. They always get called out on it, but only in places where their supporters aren't.

yes; that And of all the things to be jousting over, it's this do-nothing policy of giving the fascist paramilitary cameras. I can not believe that anyone cares about this policy enough to change their votes on whether the neo-nazis in ICE are more easily able to create shock content for their friends and family.

There is no reforming ICE. Dems crying coz they don't get credit for handing the people hunting agency more money? Fucking cry me a river to replace the water taken by Ai data centers

They're going to do as they're told and lose like they always do. They are not on your side.
