Not convinced Johnson is such a disaster. So he loses some votes, He blocked a bad immigration bill (so far) and impeached Mayorkas. One step at a time. https://t.co/1t0gFEW6Qo

Excellent graphic detail on exactly how Biden invited the huge border surge he now claims (3 years on) he wants to stop. “In general, the lesson from the data: If you let people in, more will come. If you stop people from getting in, they’ll stop coming” https://t.co/SthJx5KrXB

I remember a talk Mayorkas gave (in Beverly Hills, IIRC) shortly after the failure of the Gang of 8 “comprehensive” amnesty bill. He said “We’ll have to find another way,” or words to that effect.

Why not pick one solid, non-BS, discrete reform in HR2 that GOPS like and that Dems can swallow. (Restricting parole back to its original narrow role seems right-sized.) Don’t change the text. Use it to attract enough House GOPs, who can then declare a partial victory… https://t.co/tgqnTRJDGj

Why aren’t any of the pro-Ukraine senators or pundits giving Biden grief about his incompetent handling of Ukraine aid 1) by not getting Dems to save McCarthy 2) by bundling it with a BS border “deal” GOPs who actually cared about the border were sure to reject.
Result: no aid.
