BREAKING: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell makes the shocking confession that Republicans are intentionally sabotaging the border to help Trump win the 2024 election.
It's astonishing that he would admit to plotting something so truly indefensible...
For months, Democrats and Republicans have been crafting bipartisan legislation that would tighten immigration restrictions and also provide much-needed aid to Ukraine.
Now, Republicans don't want to move forward with it after all of that work because they're afraid fixing our immigration problems would help Biden in the election. They'd rather let the problem worsen then let Biden get credit for anything.
During a closed-door meeting with Republicans this week, McConnell suggested splitting the immigration and Ukraine funding initiatives into different bills.
"When we started this, the border united us and Ukraine divided us," said McConnell, according to a source knowledgable about the remarks.
"The politics on this have changed," McConnell went on, explaining that a chaotic border situation is advantageous for Trump. The ex-president can't run on fixing immigration if immigration is already fixed.
"We don’t want to do anything to undermine him," said McConnell. "We’re in a quandary."
Clearly, despite all of their ranting and whining, Republicans don't actually care about the border situation. They care about exploiting it — and the suffering that flows from it — for cheap political points.
Republicans love power more than they love this country. It's that simple

Every single Republican running to be the party's nominee for president is against unions.
DeSantis blames the strike on Biden’s electric-vehicle incentives, calling the move a big threat to the auto industry and autoworkers. As usual DeSantis is wrong,
Actually, it will help the automakers who will receive incentives for building EV so they need workers now. The planet can't afford for Americans to move forward in the automotive industry without changes.
Nikki Haley said she is proud to be a union buster. She thinks unions get emboldened and ask for things that companies have a tough time doing.
Since when is asking for better salaries and benefits to live being emboldened?
Tim Scott wants every union member on strike to be fired. The UAW filed a labor complaint against Scott over his suggestion.
Basically, Scott and his draconian mindset asks the question how dare people strike for better salaries and benefits in America?
Christie thinks Biden is dictating company polices by being pro-union.
So supporting better wages has become dictating policy?
Pence thinks decisions about wages should be made by company shareholders without government mandates or pressure.
Is Pence so dumb he actually believes that will happen?
Ramaswamy thinks it is Biden fault that the cost of living wages has not risen for the autoworkers.
He is just a dumba$$ if he thinks the Big Three Automakers care at all.
And last but not least is Trump who lies so much it is hard to know what he thinks.
Who cares anyway? He will be in jail.
If any GOP candidate was into truth they would say the truth, AUW workers are primarily demanding higher wages and an end to a tiered wage system — issues that are unrelated to the clean-energy transition policies put forth by President Biden.
Don't forget some of the high management at the Big Three Automakers are making 300 times what the average workers are making.
That is just immoral.

Yesterday I was just trying to get to 2k. Today I'm about 240 away from 3k. You guys are awesome! The bigger my audience, the bigger everyone who follows me is, and on it goes! We are stronger together! 💪 ❤️🥰💙
BREAKING: Liz Cheney SLAMS Ron DeSantis over his promise to pardon the Jan. 6 rioters:
“Any candidate who says they will pardon Jan. 6 defendants is not qualified to be President.”
As expected, nearly everyone is getting the story wrong. Jack Smith is not JUST NOW subpoenaing Trump’s international business records dating to 2017. The original reporting makes clear that this subpoena happened IN THE PAST. Jack Smith’s probe appears basically complete by now.
BREAKING: Catholic priests & lay religious brothers sexually abused over 1,997 kids — in Illinois ALONE — over the last 7 decades, according to a new investigation.
In 2018, the Catholic Church said there were over 100 abusers. But guess what? The state says the ACTUAL number was more than 450!
“This report clearly tells us that no one knew more about abuse, and no one did less about it, than these dioceses themselves,” said Mike McDonnell (pictured), a spokesman for a victim advocacy group.
Here's my question:
Why do so many conservative Christians point to people like me in the LGBTQ community as a threat to their kids, when the REAL danger so often lies in their own churches?
Tell me that. And I'll give you more details on this story, and more stories on real threats to our kids, as I find them. 🧵👇
A reminder that Betsy DeVos is the most evil corrupt feckless moronic scumbag to have ever been Secretary of Education. Her brother Erik Prince is a terrorist arms trafficker.
She’s the last person I ever want to hear from, especially when it pertains to education.
I'm sick and tired of people saying Republicans must vote for Donald Trump if he's the 2024 GOP nominee.
How can any Republican vote for a guy a led a coup attempt?
How can any Republican vote for a guy who repeatedly attacked the police, our fallen heroes, and POWs and wants to defund the FBI?
How can any Republican vote for a guy who was found liable for sexual abuse, boasted about assaulting women, and had 26 women credibly accusing him of rape and sexual harassment?
How can any Republican vote for a guy who ballooned the debt, opposed free trade, and started a trade war with so many countries?
How can any Republican vote for a guy who met with and enabled white supremacists?
How can any Republican vote for a guy responsible for the death of so many Americans by Covid?
How can any Republican vote for a guy who called for the termination of the Constitution?
How can any Republican vote for a guy who wants to break up NATO, refuses to say he wants Ukraine to win, and repeatedly praises Putin and the Chinees dictator?
How can any Republican vote for a guy who's a pathological liar, a deranged conspiracy theorist, and a racist buffoon who's clearly unfit to be president?
NEVER TRUMP!
