It's exhausting watching people constantly shoot themselves in the foot by putting all their energy into platforms that are doomed to screw them over with the exact same patterns of being cheap and easy at first and inevitably shit once you're stuck there.

Iā€™m sharing this letter I just sent to the 7 House Democrats that voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Feel free to borrow any language from this letter and give them hell yourself. I also recommend contacting your senators to urge them not to pass this budget.
