Biden to host congressional leaders Tuesday for talks on spending, Ukraine funding
The Hill ^ | 02/25/24 6:40 PM ET | BY BRETT SAMUELS -

President Biden is scheduled to host the four congressional leaders at the White House on Tuesday, where the group will discuss funding for Ukraine and efforts to avert a government shutdown.

The White House said Biden will highlight “the urgency of passing the bipartisan national security supplemental and keeping the government open.” Attendees will include Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).

Biden has for weeks been pleading with Congress to pass additional funding to support Ukraine in its war against Russia, warning that a failure to do so would be a historic failure that could threaten global and domestic security.

The Senate earlier this month overwhelmingly passed national security funding that included money for Ukraine, Israel and Indo-Pacific allies, but Johnson again signaled the bill would not receive a vote in the House because it lacked desired border provisions. Johnson had previously rejected a proposal that included border security measures.

At the same time, Congress is coming up against a deadline to pass funding bills to avoid a shutdown.

The crooks in Ukraine are getting antsy to get their next payoff, they got the blackmail goods on US politicians which is why they are panicking on the Hill. The uniparty is about to crack apart when the internecine war breaks out and they know it.

It will be a great day for all of us.

Mr. President, we are only here for you to tell us how you are closing the border, discontinuing federal and state subsidies to illegals, and the eviction of those who entered illegally. When that is moving forward we can start addressing some of the other problems we face.

So, how does this work? People outside of the Cabal do not meet Mr. Potato Head. Will $chumer be speaking for the rag-doll? Is Johnson supposed to toe the line that Biden is coherent?

What I have to say to Biden is “FU”, nothing else to talk about until the border is secured!
