    [Lindsey Graham DDS said], “To my Republican friends: To get this kind of border security without granting a pathway to citizenship is really unheard of.”

    It is just the best feeling in the world as a progressive to have to agree with Lindsey Graham and hope that Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Freedom Caucus are successful in their efforts to kill this bill for the wrong reasons, just really super proud of my Congress right now /s

      We are in stupid land. It’s not that the bill doesn’t have a bunch of terrible garbage in it to pass, it’s that biden is president.

      Basically, the main reason they are agitating to not pass it is that if they do they won’t have anything to pass in a trump presidency.

        I thought the main reason was so they couldn’t give Biden a win? Though that was a comment a few weeks back, unsure if it’s that bill but assume so since they don’t tend to move quickly.
