  2. The few expressions of pushback that have emerged have largely been futile, & instigated by #Republicans who are set to #retire at the end of this congressional session or cut rare maverick streaks, such as Sen #RandPaul & Rep #ThomasMassie, both Kentucky #libertarians who posted Justice #Gorsuch’s words admiringly on social media.

  3. …in signs of trouble late Wed, the #House Rules Cmte failed to approve the #border #security bill because 3 #Republicans on the panel — Reps #ChipRoy, #ThomasMassie, & #RalphNorman — refused to support it, meaning the panel adjourned w/o action. Democrats have no interest in backing the #GOP border proposal.
    
The 3 separate bills that fund #military #aid for #Israel, #Ukraine & #Taiwan largely mirror the $95B #Senate-passed #NationalSecurity supplemental.
