    whether Donald Trump will nominate NASSCOM/America First Policy
    Institute's Chad Wolf to succeed Alejandro Mayorkas at DHS.GOV and
    whether Mitch McConnell will consent: <URL:https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/01/31/can-lankford-overcome-right/>
    | When Republicans decided in October to demand a border security
    | measure in exchange for funding to aid the war effort in Ukraine,
    | Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told Senate Majority
    | Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) that asylum and parole must be fixed
    | and that Lankford would be a lead Republican negotiator.
    |
    | Lankford, who has long been considered a "border hawk" and who has
    | been to the border at least a dozen times, is ranking member of the
    | Subcommittee on Government Operations and Border Management and is
    | one of the most widely-respected, principled conservatives in the
    | Senate. He was chosen because McConnell believed he had the
    | knowledge and the conservative cred to do the job.

    What is Trump's legislative agenda and will he re-hire Amy Swonger
    to sell it to McConnell's Senate.GOV and Mike Johnson's House.GOV?

    undermine conservative opposition to the company. It's failing. But
    they keep trying. I guess the money must be good." - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1647582883207364608>
