Frum: “McCarthy helped Ukraine as much as he dared; Johnson helps Ukraine as little as he can.” OK. Then why didn’t Biden have House Dems toss McCarthy the few votes necessary to save his Speakership? Obviously Dems had other priorities than aiding Ukraine https://t.co/t8SjR25vt6 https://t.co/fmRzaUgA6c

How Dems/Ukraine blew it: Note that this wasn’t a case of backing “the wrong horse,” as Fiona Hill put it. The wrong horse (Trump) had already been elected. This was a case of permanently alienating Trump’s party in an attempt to remove him from office or do some partisan damage https://t.co/k06ROjBzbp

Only 2 or 3 point lower, presumably, if you exclude the Earned Income Tax Credit, which I think you should. (Like Social Security it goes only to workers and therefore is not “welfare,” under my definition,) https://t.co/CSsgMX1opO

There’ll always be people who want to come to the US, with appeals of varying weights. If we want to take in more than the million+ a year the law allows we should pass a law democratically to do so — not have Biden let the border be overwhelmed and sneak in millions more. https://t.co/9ixP3BhaDV
