    Progressive House Democrats will Back Bill to Gut Police, End Prisons

    Two Progressive House Democrats propose to Back Bill to Gut Police, End Prisons. The ‘Squad’ Backs Bill to Gut Police, and end Prisons plus the Police reform bill would disband DEA and ICE, close federal prisons, legalize border crossings

    Two leading progressive House Democrats on Tuesday will Back Bill to radically overhaul the criminal justice system by dismantling policing and incarceration in the United States

    Reps. Ayanna Pressley (D., Mass.) and Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), both known as members of the House's uber-progressive "squad," backed the BREATHE Act, legislation that would strip federal law enforcement to the bone, disband the DEA and ICE, end federal funding for police, and "develop a time-bound plan to close all federal prisons."

    Two leading House progressive Democrats on Tuesday endorsed a proposal to radically overhaul the criminal justice system by dismantling policing and incarceration in the United States.

        You could ask the people in Iowa who sent Steve King to Congress for many years.

        Simple answer is that the person represents the district, and it's a big country.

                Did I let the air out of your balloon? Sorry.

                Iowans sent King to Congress 9 times. You celebrate his not getting a 10th, but remember that the "crazy" they rejected this time is your brand of crazy.
