nah, I’m happy to own my votes unlike some people who voted for Trump here

I held my nose and voted for Biden, and I held my nose and voted for Hillary, just like I held my nose and voted for Kerry, Gore, and Clinton before them

not because I’m a believer in the Democratic Party, but but because the Republican plan has been extremely clear since the 1980s and they’re trying really hard to bring it to fruition in the next few years

as pathetic as the Democrats are the Republicans are actively working to directly harm a whole lot of people beyond those already being harmed, and I’m going to vote against that

sorry you’re not willing to and will continue to vote for Trump like you did the last two elections

Even if you take everything here at face value, if the Republicans are poised to bring all their evil plans to fruition then it sounds like your strategy of holding your nose and voting Dem failed pretty loving badly then?

WASHINGTON — House Democratic leadership said in a joint statement Tuesday that they would vote to help save Speaker Mike Johnson if Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., moves to oust him.

"From the very beginning of this Congress, House Democrats have put people over politics and found bipartisan common ground with traditional Republicans in order to deliver real results," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Minority Whip Katherine Clark, D-Mass., and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., said. "At the same time, House Democrats have aggressively pushed back against MAGA extremism. We will continue to do just that."

Democratic leaders said they would vote to table Greene's resolution to vacate the chair against Johnson, R-La., a move that would effectively kill the resolution. "If she invokes the motion, it will not succeed," the Democrats said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador are moving swiftly on new steps to crack down on illegal migration that include tougher enforcement on railways, buses and in airports as well as increased repatriation flights for migrants from both the U.S. and Mexico.

The two leaders previewed the measures in a joint statement following a call on Sunday, which centered on their joint efforts to “effectively manage” migration and the U.S.-Mexico border. Biden and López Obrador said they are directing their national security aides to “immediately implement concrete measures” to reduce the number of illegal border crossings.

An administration official said the U.S. and Mexico will increase enforcement measures that would prevent major modes of transportation from being used to facilitate illegal migration to the border, as well as the number of repatriation flights that would return migrants to their home countries. The official, granted anonymity to discuss details that had not been made public, also said the U.S. and Mexico would “respond promptly to disrupt surges.”

The fresh steps come as Biden continues to deliberate whether to take executive action that would further crack down on the number of migrants arriving at the southern U.S. border.

Since the collapse of border legislation in Congress earlier this year, the White House has not ruled out Biden issuing an executive order on asylum rules to try and reduce the number of migrants at the border. Any unilateral action would likely lean on a president’s authority under Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which offers broad powers to block entry of certain immigrants if their entry is deemed detrimental to the national interest.

Administration officials have been poring over various options for months, but Biden has made no decision on how to proceed with any executive actions. White House aides have seen little immediate urgency for the president to take any action, considering the number of illegal border crossings has declined from a record high of 250,000 in December as Mexican officials have stepped up their enforcement efforts.

The call occurred on Sunday at Biden’s request, López Obrador said during his daily news conference Monday in Mexico City.

“We talk periodically,” López Obrador said. “I seek him out, he seeks me out, we chat.”

The Mexican leader said the two countries have made progress in controlling unauthorized migration by persuading many migrants not to use illegal methods to move from country to country. López Obrador also applauded a January decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that allowed Border Patrol agents to resume cutting razor wire that the state of Texas had installed along the border to try and deter migration.
