McConnell: "Providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians is the number one priority for the United States right now according to most Republicans. That's how we see the challenges confronting the country at the moment."

THREAD: Meet @thejimbaker, the former top FBI lawyer turned Brookings Institute fellow turned CNN contributor turned Twitter deputy counsel at Twitter.
He is the Forrest Gump of the swamp.
As we all know, in 2016, the Clinton campaign fabricated a connection between Donald Trump and a Russian bank. This claim was given to FBI by Michael Sussman (later indicted and acquitted for lying about it to the FBI) and the FBI lawyer he gave it to? James Baker.
James Baker as an FBI lawyer was also deeply involved early in the process of obtaining FISA warrants to spy on 2016 Trump campaign official Carter Page.
He told Congress in 2018 that he personally reviewed the FISA application that relied heavily on the phony Steele Dossier.
Ye got up and left the @Timcast studio less than 10 minutes into the show when Tim pushed back on the claims he made that Jewish people control the world and are responsible for harming him.
Tim Pool asked a single question to Kanye about his thought that Jews are controlling everything.
Ye, Milo, and Fuentes have now all left the @Timcast studio lmfao
Timcast co-host @Lukewearechange said that Ye told him as he was leaving the studio "you don't believe in my truths."
BREAKING: The House GOP conference just elected Rep. Tom Emmer as their nominee for whip, a RINO with a liberal voting record who was in charge of electing Republicans this cycle as chair of the NRCC over America First fighter @RepJimBanks.
Unbelievable. Truly unbelievable.
The final vote was 115-106 in favor of Emmer, a guy who once served as paid spokesperson for a Soros funded organization seeking to get rid of the electoral college.
I truly don't know why I keep voting Republican. This party doesn't care winning.
Here's some more info on Emmer. Terrible record. Terrible job at the NRCC. Yet just got a promotion from the GOP Conference to whip.
Tom Emmer was the chair of the NRCC this election cycle. He was the guy in charge of electing Republicans to Congress. He once said we could win up to 70 seats. in the end, we barely eeked out a majority. Now, he wants a promotion.
I've talked to a lot of people who work on the Hill who have told me that Tom Emmer was more focused in the last few months on running for whip than electing Republicans to Congress. If there's one man responsible for the lack of a red wave, it was him.
Everyone is arguing who Republicans are going to nominate in 2024 but not talking enough about what we're going to do to to stop the Democrat mastery over early voting/mail in/ballot harvesting that makes it impossible to beat them if you surge in the weeks before election day.
There are two reasons why John Fetterman is now a senator-elect despite not being able to complete a sentence: Doug Mastriano dragged Oz down and millions of people had already voted early before Oz started surging in the last few weeks before the election.
So two things need to happen before 2024.
1) The good news is that Lombardo won in Nevada and Kari Lake is in a strong position to win in Arizona. Those are two states with insanely fucked up voting laws that benefit Dems that they can reform before the next election.
Mitch McConnell dumping $9 million into Alaska so pro-abortion RINO Lisa Murkowski could beat an America First Republican instead of spending it in Arizona for Blake Masters, whose race is going down to the wire, should be the nail in the coffin for his time as Leader.
You can blame Trump and Thiel all you want. The bottom line is Republican voters choose their candidates and it's Mitch McConnell's job to elect them to the Senate. Arizona was fully up for grabs with Blake but he took money out of the state for literally no reason. No excuse.
Like seriously. Why do we allow this guy who is four years older than Trump, has been in government since before I was born, and has the highest unfavorable rating of any politician in America continue to have so much power over our party
