Imo the Dems should save Johnson if in exchange for a clean Ukraine bill vote. That's the only useful legislation getting done this year anyway
@notkavi they should “save” him but provide minimal votes (imo johnson 300-400 votes he survives, if he survives w/ like 10 dems he’ll lose a bunch of Rs and be gone shortly after)
@notkavi unfortunately to a lot of Democrats a “clean Ukraine bill” means Israel aid included
@notkavi Only if the bill also puts Russia sanctions into law and is big enough to essentially find a blank check
@notkavi can I also get uhhhh... Recovering America's Wildlife Act attached?
@notkavi Eh, it's more important to let Johnson fail to cause GOP chaos. Making the GOP look bad is more important
@notkavi My plan is they let the bill pass n then kick him out and get jefferies so we can work on a second Ukraine bill
@notkavi From what I saw, it looks like that's what D leadership's pitching in the open (apparently the house bill is de facto the Senate bill with lipstick to please some Rs) - we gotta wait until Saturday to see if the bill makes it there though.
@notkavi that and concessions on appropriations sure
