House Republicans’ attempt to bring a border security bill to the floor as early as this week was thwarted after backlash from more moderate Republicans, delaying not only a pledge Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) made to a handful of lawmakers but also the fulfillment of a key campaign promise to a Republican base eager for tougher immigration laws. The bill, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy (R-Tex.) and co-sponsored by 58 Republicans, would empower the Homeland Security secretary — currently Alejandro Mayorkas — to unilaterally bar all undocumented migrants from entering the United States through any point of entry if the secretary deems it necessary to reestablish “operational control” of the border. If immigration agencies cannot, for any reason, process undocumented migrants according to legal procedures, a similar response by the secretary would be required. If the secretary does not follow through, the bill would provide state attorneys general the authority to sue the federal government. But the scope of the three-page bill has rattled dozens of House Republicans, many of whom worry it would prevent migrants and unaccompanied children fleeing violence from seeking asylum in the United States — a traditionally protected tenet of the country’s immigration laws. Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Tex.), who represents the largest stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border of any lawmaker, is one of two Republicans who have taken the lead in opposing the bill. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/23/house-republicans-immigration-legislation/

Will the GOP provide Biden with cover over this documents flap by actually threatening a debt fight??

Yes, and since Russia (Putin) is fine with this war going on forever you are probably right

NATO is communist? What garbage. People watch this trash?

McCarthy tweeted shortly afterward that he would accept a request to meet “and discuss a responsible debt ceiling increase to address irresponsible government spending.” The White House responded in a statement issued later on Friday, where Jean-Pierre reiterated that “raising the debt ceiling is not a negotiation; it is an obligation of this country and its leaders to avoid economic chaos.” “We are going to have a clear debate on two different visions for the country — one that cuts Social Security, and one that protects it — and the President is happy to discuss that with the Speaker,” Jean-Pierre said. The development comes a day after Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that the U.S. had reached its debt limit and would need to use special measures to avoid a default. Yellen has projected that Congress has until at least June to pass a debt ceiling increase.

The Russian army is not going to prevail. The real worry is a nuclear bomb going off.

No, I was not into politics back then

Did he know there was a live round in the gun?

I reasoned that if the party was to attract women voters, that that nonsense could not be let go. A friend of mine, also a Democrat, strongly disagreed with me

A veteran has alleged that Santos pocketed thousands in donations meant for his dying service dog. (Santos denies that.) There has also been reporting into whether a Santos aide impersonated a McCarthy aide, and whether Santos used a fake Jewish name, to raise money. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/01/19/democratic-challenge-mccarthy-deals/ Oh dear
