Only one House Democrat voted in the US House of Representatives voted for a spending bill that Republicans passed to keep the US government open.
The House passed a stopgap spending bill, known as a continuing resolution or “CR,” to keep the government open until September on Tuesday. Only one Republican, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against the legislation.
Rep. Jared Golden of Maine was the only Democrat to join Republicans in the legislation.
That photo sure doesn’t look like Jared Golden. Any chance to smear AOC tho…
Maybe it updated or something, but the article for me only shows a photo of Golden followed by one of Mace. There’s a vid at the top with a WH press conference. No photos of AOC at all.
I see this on my lemmy feed:
Why the hell did they put a picture of AOC on it? Makes it look like she was the one.
For the clicks! There’s another comment that said they had a different pic show up
And that’s why I’m not clicking that.
You know you want to. YOU WON’T BELIEVE WHO DIDN’T VOTE WITH THEIR PARTY!!.. REPUBLICANS LOVE IT WHEN DEMOCRATS DO THIS ONE THING!!.. :: click::
Jared Golden of Maine
Shall be henceforth remembered as a traitor.
He betrayed his colleagues. He betrayed the opposition. He betrayed the country by extending the fascist shit show a little longer.
“This is a deeply partisan spending bill that not only contains completely unnegotiated and unexamined cuts – beyond that, it actually takes away all accountability from the president and strips Congress of their ability to actually review the tariffs that are being put forth by the executive,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York told The Indpendent before the vote.
I’m assuming this is why she’s in the photo, lazy fucking journalism. Let the tools decide as if they aren’t biased
It’s fine to use them but for fuck sakes someone should approve the final product before publishing it
But House Democrats opposed the legislation because of the fact the bill includes major cuts to programs from everything from education, health care and energy.

In case anyone is wondering why the dems voted no to this.
