Now we see why they blocked Jordan.
He would never allow this to come to the floor.
Shameful when our border is so broken.
We can't afford one penny of this crap!
Dwight Eisenhower’s 1961 warning about the Military-Industrial Complex:
So which lobbyist controls the McConnell puppet these days?
“Not a penny for tribute [Ukrainian blackmail/hush-money] but billions for defense [Israel and the GWOT]!”
Everything is a F***ing emergency !
That is why we can never take time to debate anything or object to all the grift and corruption.
Very grateful the broken system has ground to a halt with no recovery in sight.
God bless Matt Gaetz.
Everything shady in Washington is invariably done because of an “emergency”.
Kind of makes me want to see this house speaker thing drag on forever.
McConnell rushing to give Biden everything he wants, what else is new?
McDumbass never says no to more spending... Never.
Sen Cotton: “The Biden $106 billion proposal is going nowhere, and Senate Republicans will take the lead on crafting a funding bill that protects Americans and their interests,” Sen Cotton said.
<><>“We will not spend $3.5 billion to address the ‘potential needs of Gazans,” arguing that humanitarian assistance to Gaza could inadvertently fund “a resupply line for Hamas terrorists.”
<><>Sen Cotton also balked at spending tax dollars to fund $11.8 billion for Ukraine’s nonmilitary needs, such as retirement pensions for Ukrainian government employees.
<><>“Nor will we spend $4.7 billion tax dollars for housing, transportation, and ‘services’ for illegal aliens in the United States rather than deporting them,” Cotton warned.
Cotton’s tough talk signals a difficult negotiation ahead on Biden’s request for emergency funding for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan.
Senate Republicans say that any new money for the war in Ukraine must be paired with changes to immigration and asylum policy to slow the flow of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Israel can buy equipment from us, and I don’t even think they’re claiming otherwise. But giving them money instead makes it a lot easier for Biden and company to skim off the top.
Burn it all down.
McConnell another puke who got us into this mess
The Arkansas senator said “Senate Republicans will take the lead on crafting a funding bill that protects Americans and their interests.”

Since when sir? We are still trying to recover from your vote for cloture on Obamacare (although you did vote against the bill after you voted for it...)
Tom Cotton, Mitchy the Kid’s left hand man.....
WWG1WGA!
The U.S. budget deficit increased 23 percent to $1.7 trillion, an increase of $320 billion, in the year after the Biden administration pushed through the Inflation Reduction Act which it claimed would close the government’s funding gap.
The explosive growth in the deficit came as revenue fell $457 billion from a year ago and expenses decreased by just $137 billion. Total spending for the year came in at $6.134 trillion.
“Team Mitch,” NO!
Nothing seems to shake these old bulls from their grip on power. Mitch wants power far too much.
