Just spoke with Matt Gaetz, who just got off the phone with Speaker Johnson. Gaetz said he now anticipates that Ukraine aid will pass — an outcome he has long sought to avoid. He expressed dismay given his influential role in delaying aid thus far. “This was abject surrender."

Obama likely shared his blackmail data on all the congress and senate
with Zelensky.

Our Government is Compromised.

How do you know Johnson went to Trump for “advice”?

When asked if he would seek to oust Johnson, Gaetz said he continues to harbor “concerns that a motion to vacate” will result in a Democratic speaker of the House

Barbie Boy lacks self-awareness.

He should really sit this one out.

Well why aren't you filing the motion to vacate then? This is worse than anything McCarthy ever did.

I have been a big supporter of Gaetz, but this is pathetic. I hate to say it, but maybe it was about the ethics investigation with McCarthy after all.

Re: 12 - I think that’s a valid point.

Didn’t at one point Speaker Johnson tie Ukraine funding to border control?

Found it - from December 5:

“The battle is for the border,” Johnson said at a news conference. “We do that first as a top priority, and we’ll take care of these other obligations.”

How does Johnson reconcile this past statement with now?

It was - and now Gaetz is getting cold feet on any MTV. Even though he and Johnson are now voting differently on multiple high stakes bills.

Amazing to watch.

Gaetz has lost *ALL* credibility after ousting McCarthy supposedly for simply not giving him 48 hours to review a bill, but now sits on his azz while this funding for overseas borders goes through, but with none for our own. I’m not 100% opposed to overseas support, but only AFTER own border is better secured, like Johnson originally promised to get the job.

He signed the authorization in 2018.

Simple...The Dems own the Senate and Biden owns the magic pen.

You already forgot the bombardment of Israel a few days ago?? You do what you can.

Blame the Dems...The mess at the border is 100% theirs.
