All but a handful of House members voted against it already.

And the Democratic establishment has started lining up primary challenges against how many of that handful?

Democratic Senate leadership appears committed

They have seemed committed before. Are they going to stick to their guns and abolish ICE or are they going to accept a few useless reforms and declare victory? My money is on a complete surrender.

which they were not until this killing.

What changed? Renee Good wasn't enough? (Not that she was the first, but she was a white woman so her death should count). It's not like Republicans sprung into action to fix anything after that. There were always going to be more murders.

This is typical Democratic establishment bullshit. There has been no change in the underlying principles for why they shouldn't be funding Trump's brown shirts. The only change is that the public turned against it.
