The Republican party has become a dysfunctional cult. For the sake of our , It’s clearly time to #Vote all of them out.
The #GOP’s cynical strategy on the “#Immigration crisis” at the border.
“Although #Republicans are screaming about the crisis at the border, they are doing everything they can to ensure that #Democrats can’t address the crisis.
Congressional Republicans have acted to ensure that the #Biden request for supplemental funding on the border won’t make it out of Congress.
#MitchMcConnell told fellow GOP Senators on Wednesday that the border deal “was dead.”

It's possible that #moscowmitch is NOT pulling an KEEP #obama having a #scotus choice type move, he might just be echoing a #trumporder

“Trump wants them to 😈kill it because he doesn’t want Biden to have a victory, he told them he will fix the border when he is president… He said he only wants the 🤬perfect deal.”
How very #puppetmaster of #trump2024

@6G but that's not how Congress works.
Firstly, the rules of the Senate don't give any senator, including McConnell, the power to unilaterally stop anything. At any point the rest of the chamber could overrule him if they wanted to.
The fingerpointing at McConnell was always a way of scapegoating that allowed senators to escape accountability for their inaction.
Well, that and a way for reporters to publish clickbait headlines.
But the idea of Congress blocking legislation overall? No. If legislation isn't compelling then it's not Congress blocking it, but Congress simply saying it's not something they're interested in passing.
