More than 170,000 migrants were taken into custody at the Southwest border in March, the highest monthly total since at least 2006, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials who have been briefed on the preliminary numbers but are not authorized to speak publicly.
Well so much for the slow Joe claim that this sort of border surge is just a yearly occurrence...

Totally off topic but you understand more than most of the truthers.
We may have in effect a parliamentary government in the future.
Democrats might not have the votes to gut the filibuster, but they were just handed the procedural keys to a backdoor assault on the Senate’s famous obstruction tactic.
With a ruling on Monday that Democrats can reuse this year’s budget blueprint at least once to employ the fast-track reconciliation process, Democrats can now conceivably advance multiple spending and tax packages this year without a single Republican vote, as long they hold their 50 members together. It is a means of weakening the filibuster without having to take the politically charged vote to do so.
Democrats insist that they have made no decisions about how to use the tool.
“It is always good to have a series of insurance policies,” said Senator Chris Van Hollen, Democrat of Maryland, about the possibility that Democrats could duplicate last month’s party-line passage of the $1.9 trillion virus relief legislation, should they not be able to work out deals with Republicans.
But whatever strategy they employ, it is clear that the decision by the Senate parliamentarian to agree with Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, that a 47-year-old budget provision could be used more than once in a fiscal year widens President Biden’s path to enacting his infrastructure plan by shielding it from a filibuster. It also means other Democratic initiatives could become filibuster-proof moving forward, and was already spurring creative efforts among lawmakers and activists to imagine other priorities that could be stuffed into reconciliation packages.
“I always would prefer to do legislation in a bipartisan way, but we have to get big, bold things done,” Mr. Schumer said in an interview. “And so we need to have as many options as possible if Republicans continue to obstruct.”
Doing so may prove very difficult, and the filibuster — which takes 60 votes to overcome — remains an obstacle for many of the policies Democrats would like to enact, such as a sweeping campaign finance and elections measure as well as new gun laws. But if stymied by Republicans on plans that they can protect under reconciliation — which applies to measures that directly affect federal spending and revenues — Democrats will have the opportunity to move ahead on their own if they choose.

Will all of the Democrats go ahead on this path?
It would be the most important issue in the history of the United States.

Military builds six enormous tents at Fort Bliss Army post in Texas that can each hold 1,000 migrant - and soldiers are BANNED from taking pictures of camp amid border crisis
The tents, officially referred to as Emergency Intake Shelters, were set up at Fort Bliss in El Paso last month
They are to house unaccompanied migrants amid an influx arriving at the border
Officials refused to say how many migrants are currently being held at the base
No official photos have been released of the Fort Bliss Emergency Intake Shelters so far
Sources told Fox News that military personnel at the army base have been ordered not to take photos of the tents

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that he supports big corporations making political donations but warned that they should not take sides on “incendiary” issues, such as Georgia’s new voting law.
His comments, to reporters in Kentucky, followed Major League Baseball’s decision to move its All-Star Game out of Atlanta and condemnations by other corporations, including Coca-Cola and Delta Air Lines, of restrictions in the voting law.
“I’m not talking about political contributions,” McConnell said. “Most of them contribute to both sides. They have political action committees. That’s fine. It’s legal. It’s appropriate. I support that. I’m talking about taking a position on a highly incendiary issue like this and punishing a community or state because you don’t like a particular law they passed. I just think it’s stupid. … What I’m saying here is I think this quite stupid.”
McConnell argued that corporations risk losing large segments of their patrons.
“Republicans drink Coca-Cola, too, and we fly, and we like baseball,” he said. “It’s irritating one hell of a lot of Republican fans.”

Quote of the Day
By Taegan Goddard 48 Comments
“They just completely reinvented a coalition and their messaging overnight has gone from an Episcopalian, Presbyterian, white party to rural and non-college. They don’t want to talk about free trade or anything like that. And Biden is not this polarizing figure. I mean, you can’t gin it up. I mean Obama, for obvious reasons, he could get them all ginned up. They try to get a charge out of Biden, but it just doesn’t work that well.”
— James Carville, quoted by the Daily Beast, on why Republicans have had a difficult time opposing President Biden’s agenda.
YEP. THE OLD RACIST TROPE JUST ISN'T HOLDING UP.
The GOP Isn’t Rebranding After 2020
IN PLAIN WORDS, THE GOP IS STAYING FACIST
Perry Bacon Jr.:
“Despite Republicans losing the White House and Senate in 2020,
and thus being totally swept out of power in Washington,
there’s been no official ‘autopsy’ or widespread consideration of appointing new leaders or anything else.
"In the period after the 1988 presidential election, the Republican Party has
lost the popular vote in all but one presidential race (2004).
"It has lost three of the last four presidential elections
and allowed itself to be dominated by former President Donald Trump,
who was twice impeached for breaking with democratic values.
"But it is moving forward like none of that really happened.
“The collective decision of conservative activists and Republican elected officials
to stay on the anti-democratic,
racist trajectory
that the GOP had been on before Trump
— but that he accelerated —
is perhaps the most important story
in American politics right now.”
YEP. AND IT'S A LOSER.

Why did @CBP delete their tweet that revealed Yemeni men on the terror watchlist were arrested at the border? Did Joe Biden, @SecMayorkas or PressSec
ask them to? Is it bad press for Joe if Americans know terrorists are sneaking through the border too?

Pressure to Reform Filibuster Will Likely Ease
BECAUSE IT WON'T BE NEEDED
Playbook:
“The Senate parliamentarian’s ruling that the annual budget resolution can be revised to include new reconciliation instructions — think of it as a buy one, get one free to pass sweeping legislation by a simple majority — could have major implications for President Joe Biden’s first-year agenda.
“If the annual budget resolution can be revised once, it can be revised again. So as the party in power could ‘theoretically use the tool as often as they want.’ The pressure on Biden to attract Republican votes is now diminished.
“The expansion of reconciliation will have Democrats getting creative to push all sorts of stuff through the process (and Republicans, too, when they next have unified control of Congress and the White House). There’s already talk of doing a stand-alone Dreamers bill via reconciliation.”
Why didn’t Mitch McConnell think of this when he had the majority?
GOOD QUESTION!
Even ‘Human Infrastructure’ Is Hard for GOP to Attack
Catherine Rampell:
“Most of the key planks of Biden’s proposal poll well among Republican voters, whether or not those planks technically constitute brick-and-mortar infrastructure.
According to pollster Geoff Garin, the problem for Republicans “is they have a talking point they can’t back up with an example of an investment they oppose, since nearly all the investments in the plan are popular in their own right."

The story of the Biden administration to date has been all about Joe Biden slowly, painfully learning that Donald Trump was right about everything important, plus Biden's clumsy efforts to take credit for things Trump did.
Biden is a VERY SLOW LEARNER
Trump was right

Google Removes Entire State Of Georgia From Google Maps
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA—Tech giant Google announced today that they are removing the entire state of Georgia from their Google Maps platform, effective immediately. This comes in response to the state’s recent voter law that many are calling racist.
“We cannot allow these racist laws to stand,” said a spokesman from the Google Office of Diversity, Inclusion, Anti-Racism, Climate Change, Immigration Reform, and LGBTQ Affairs. “That’s why we must act quickly to get states like Georgia off the map, both literally and figuratively.”
Starting today, the state of Georgia will be replaced with a blue body of water labeled "Sea of Racism" on all Google Maps platforms. Driving directions given by the site will be altered. For example, directions from South Carolina to Florida via I-95 will state: “continue south through the stupid Sea of Racism without stopping for 112 miles.”
Google will also be updating searches for locations inside the state. A search for directions to Atlanta, GA now returns the following message. “Location not found. Would you like to travel to a Google-approved destination such as Seattle, Minneapolis, or Beijing?”
The spokesman went on to clarify that Google hasn’t completely abandoned the state. “Google will still provide one-way driving directions out of the state for anyone who currently resides in Georgia,” he noted. “Also, we will still provide directions to any out-of-state celebrities or businesses who want to donate money to the Georgia Democratic Party.”
A child molester and a pussy grabbing rapist will be together soon.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) will appear at one of Donald Trump’s properties on Friday night to speak at an event hosted by the group that held the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C. that turned into the insurrection.

He was never good at debating, so he has given up.
