Repubs are refusing to confirm top officials who Biden needs to handle the Afghanistan crisis /Tweet

FUCKING TED CRUZ IS BLOCKING THEM

Your afternoon update that Republicans are criticizing Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan crisis while - at the same time - refusing to confirm many of the top officials who Biden needs to handle the Afghanistan crisis.

Chairman @SenatorMenendez and Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT
came to the floor to confirm dozens of critical national security nominees.

Senator Ted Cruz blocked them.

Or tell him a brown person has been spotted near the Rio Grande and the news cameras are down there. That ought to get him out of town.
