Trump's against the border/foreign aid bill.

I don't think there's any chance this passes as Mike Johnson just does Trump's bidding at this point.

It is just the most absurd state of politics. This bill was crafted by a very conservative Republican Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma. It is one of the most conservative immigration bills in recent memory. It has absolutely no amnesty provisions- something that was part of the now decade old Gang of Eight immigration bill that passed the Senate and died in the House.

So naturally of course Republicans are against it because Trump's against it. And Trump's against it because he wants to keep this issue alive for the election.

And of course Republicans are saying it is somehow soft on immigration, despite being a massive assault on the asylum system.

Just a clown car.

And now Mike Johnson is going to push a standalone Israel aid package instead of this bill. With no such standalone bill for Ukraine aid. What a joke of a party.
