“I’m quite convinced that it can’t be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill, and I’m going to just read you one excerpt of it, because it’s pretty alarming, and it says everything that you need to know.”

Mask off moment.

Speaker Mike Johnson QUESTIONS whether Senate Republicans actually read the bill they passed to the House before heading on recess.

Johnson then turned to the cameras and read a jaw-dropping section aloud for the media.

JOHNSON: “This gambit that was done last night is a JOKE.”

“I’m quite convinced that it can’t be that every Senate Republican read the language of this bill, and I’m going to just read you one excerpt of it, because it’s pretty alarming, and it says everything that you need to know.”

“In section four…this is on page two of the bill….”

“It says, ‘The contents printed under the headings of this bill, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border security operations under the heading of US Customs and Border Patrol and Protection shall have no force or effect for purposes of this act and amounts specified in the final bill under the subheading border security operation, and under the heading U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and under the headings of US Immigration and Customs enforcement, in the Department of Homeland Security shall be...ZERO.’”

“We’re not doing that.”

These effing Republican bastards who did this need to be tied to lampposts and horsewhipped to within an inch of their miserable lives. This is absolutely infuriating!

i would be surprised if members of the senate and the house read and understood even 10% of the bills they approve.

They vote the way they are told by leadershuip and/or the PACS, lobbyists and other scoundrels who enrich them.

For the most part, congress and the the nation are being run by congressional staffs comprised of unelected bureaucrats and the lobbyists who have the staff members on their payrolls.

Trump throws a temper tantrum when the House passes a bill to expose the Epstein crimes and cover up but he allows the Senate to do this?

We have been abandoned.

They are like a bunch of school kids that hear the final bell for the day before the holiday recess and throw everything to the wind just to get home. Jez, what a worthless gaggle of shameless bastards.
