House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told her colleagues in a private meeting Thursday that she thought she had a deal this week with her longtime ally, Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer: She would ensure passage of a more liberal border funding bill in the House, and he would back her up by persuading Democratic senators to fight for it.
Instead, Pelosi (D-Calif.) said, she was blindsided. Nearly all Senate Democrats voted for a Republican-backed bill that kneecapped the House and marked the most embarrassing defeat for Pelosi in the six months since Democrats took over the chamber.

after the first debate, they took questions from a democratic focus group. Half of the people were asking why dems have no plan for securing the border.
They cut away when it became too obvious. Then, 10 minutes later on the nightly news, they edited out all of the people asking about the border and only played the ones asking democrat approved questions...to give the opposite impression of what the focus group was like.
I wouldn’t believe a thing that the news says anymore.
How is this news fake?
There may be a few rational senators left in the Democrat party after all. There are certainly none left in the House, least of all Pelosi. She has turned bats#!t crazy.
Trump will veto without wall, asylum changes, end to chain & lottery.
They don’t have the votes to override
I think you’re correct. I think their polling showed them getting creamed in 2020. Clearly SpewMore is a little more concerned with this than Botoxic at this point-—he probably has polling showing they’ll lose 2-3 more seats in the Senate right now (Jones—if anyone but Moore, maybe MI, outside shot at NM with a good candidate, and McSally’s seat could firm up with continued open borders push).
