From axios:

Catch up quick: A House resolution to honor Kirk and condemn his assassination has been the subject of frenzied talk among Democrats this week.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said in Democrats' closed-door caucus meeting Thursday morning that leadership will vote for the resolution, but will leave lawmakers to decide for themselves how they plan to vote, Axios reported.

Some Democrats fear that anything short of a unanimous vote for the resolution could be a messaging coup for Republicans.

Fucking worthless Democrats.

I really feel that all the people who somewhat understand what's going on are completely on their own

I want to see the actual votes, not some article. Hatd to believe that Sanders voted for this.
