Chris Murphy, lead Dem negotiator on border, tees off as Senate GOP plans to block supplemental package: “The Senate Republican caucus is now the House Republican caucus, right? There's nobody in charge," he told us. "There's no ability to follow a plan, right? We did everything they said, and they abandoned it before they even read the bill. This is admittedly a scary situation, when you don't have real partners who can follow through.” He adds: "They are a negotiating nightmare. Look what they did to James Lankford, it is disgusting what they did to James. They put him out there on an in an asked him on their behalf to negotiate a compromise and then they didn't even give him the chance to argue the merits."

Let's be very clear: Republicans in Congress just killed the border security bill that Acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller described as “the strongest set of tools we have had in decades” and was endorsed by the (Trump-supporting) Border Patrol Union, just because it might help Biden politically. MAGA Republicans now own the crisis at the border.
