Their idea was to tie approval of military assistance to Ukraine to tough border security demands that Democrats would never accept, allowing Republicans to block the money for Kyiv that many of them oppose while simultaneously enabling them to pound Democrats for refusing to halt a surge of migrants at the border. It was to be a win-win headed into November’s elections.
But Democrats tripped them up by offering substantial — almost unheard-of — concessions on immigration policy without insisting on much in return. Now it is Republicans who are rapidly abandoning a compromise that gave them much of what they wanted, leaving aid to Ukraine in deep jeopardy, border policy in turmoil and Congress again flailing as multiple crises at home and abroad go without attention because of a legislative stalemate.
They’re going to get help from the federal government as soon as Democrats have the House. They’ll probably reduce funding for the border that goes to Texas to pay for it.
Republicans are fucking your state to help their election chances. Stop them by voting in Democratic House members to get your money back from Texas and Florida.
Uh, you do realize I’m from Massachusetts, right? Our elections are decided in the democratic primary when we pick which candidates will breeze through the general election and take their house seats. The last time we sent a republican to DC was in 1994.
Hey the better Griffin does in the primary the more of a message may be able to get across to Warren who is wanting term three.
