When a party can't defend its complicity with shameful actions, it hides behind silence - House Committee on the Judiciary



Last week, Judiciary Republicans voted down 30 amendments aimed at restoring basic civil liberties and decency to their $81 billion budget bill, including one to stop ICE from deporting American kids with cancer.

Not one Republican spoke up to defend their vote. In fact, the Republicans sat in silence for 9 hours. - Congressman Jamie Raskin - 05/06/2025.
