Dan Pfeiffer: “To summarize, Johnson demands a border bill in exchange for passing Ukraine aid; the White House and Senate work on a border bill; Johnson opposes the bill without even seeing it, despite repeatedly declaring that the ‘crisis at the border’ is the House GOP’s top priority.”
“Some commentary suggests that Johnson keeps moving the goalpost to prevent his caucus from having to vote on Ukraine aid, which is vehemently opposed by MAGA Republicans but enthusiastically supported by the Republican establishment and more moderate GOPers. With Johnson in perpetual danger of being McCarthy-ed, I am sure avoiding a tough vote is a factor. However, I think Johnson and the Republicans have another more nefarious reason — they want a crisis at the border to help them in the election.”
In generalities:
Democrats are opposed to passing any voting laws that require ID to vote, or prove citizenship I guess?
They also support legislation that requires ID for substance use, tobacco, alcohol, etc.
I have to provide more ID to buy cough medicine then they want to vote. If discrimination against poor people who can’t afford a driver’s license?, then those same people can’t get their food stamps, wic, Medicare, etc since all those need ID right?
