Last week, the US House of Representatives voted 305 to 102 to pass a Trump-friendly emergency spending bill worth $4.6 billion, pumping relatively unrestricted cash into the very institutions that have created a humanitarian crisis at the US–Mexico border. Coming at a time when we are debating whether or not Trump’s immigrant detention centers qualify as concentration camps (they do), the bill’s passage was enough to make one wonder why having a Democratic congressional majority should matter to anyone who does not want to, say, rip children away from their parents, put them in cages, and leave them to wallow in their own filth for days along the border.

To her credit — not that she deserves much — Nancy Pelosi tried to limit what Trump could do with the money, but was outorganized by conservative Democrats. One of the groups that led this successful maneuvering was the Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan caucus led by Democrat Josh Gottheimer and Republican Tom Reed that is comprised of some twenty-four right-wing Democrats (is your representative one of them?) and twenty-four Republicans. They are closely associated with No Labels and the billionaire hedge fund manager Louis Bacon.

The Problem Solvers Caucus hearkens to nostalgia for a supposedly bygone era of bipartisanship. But today, Democratic members of the caucus amount to Trump apologists. They fund concentration camps for kids. Every single one of them should be primaried by candidates from the Left in 2020.
