Update: Wednesday, 12:00 a.m. ET

House conservatives railed against former Speaker Kevin McCarthy over the weekend after he reportedly cut a "side deal" with Democrats and Senate RINOs on Ukraine funding. That and other disagreements led Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) -- McCarthy's fiercest critic -- to file a "motion to vacate," which was voted on yesterday. Eight GOP Reps and every Dem member of the House ousted McCarthy, 216-210.

But the backroom, "dirty dealing" didn't stop with Ukraine. Just like during the debt-ceiling fight in May of this year, the House GOP "leader" passed a spending bill with more Democrat votes than Republican! What's worse is that, after the continuing resolution (CR) passed Saturday with near-unanimous Democrat support and maintained the status quo on Capitol Hill, McCarthy claimed he was putting "America first"!

But enough Republicans thought he put Big Government first, and the search is on for a new Speaker in the GOP-controlled House.

That means the fight to rein in Big Government's runaway spending continues. The current CR funds the federal government until November 15. Until then Joe's Regime and the D.C. Uni-Party will continue demanding BILLIONS more taxpayer dollars for Ukraine, while very likely doing little or nothing to stop the INVASION of illegal aliens at America's southern border.

You can take immediate action by calling on Congress and the White House to secure the U.S.-Mexico border BEFORE helping Ukraine protect theirs with BILLIONS more taxpayer dollars! Demand Joe's Regime and the D.C. Uni-Party "Stop Protecting The Wrong Border!" Click here or on the banner below to sign the national petition now:

Even former President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, said this about New York City's sanctuary law, "It’s broken. We need to fix it." He also told WABC Radio earlier this week, "It doesn't make any sense." As the fight to defund the "America Last" agenda of Joe's Regime and the D.C. Uni-Party continues raging, Grassfire is empowering you to immediately make your voice heard on Capitol Hill. Thanks, in advance, for taking action this morning.

P.S. On Monday, we told you how former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told CNN the CR was "a victory for Democrats, a defeat for the MAGAs." She also ridiculously accused Republicans of being "on the prowl for Medicare, Medicaid." See below to learn more, or go here to demand "America First" Representatives "Stop Protecting The Wrong Border!":


Monday morning:

Joe's Regime and the D.C. Uni-Party are still celebrating. They passed a continuing resolution (CR) late Saturday to keep the federal government "open" for another month and a half. Many people are calling it a victory for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and the GOP. But it's more "business as usual" on Capitol Hill that keeps engorging Big Government.

Sure, McCarthy was able to pass a "clean" CR with ZERO new money to fund Joe's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, but it totally ignored Joe's border crisis. There was ZERO cash for that, too. Also Rep. Matt Gaetz says BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars could soon begin flowing to Ukraine again. Shortly after the CR vote, Gaetz posted this on X:

"Wow.@SpeakerMcCarthy made a side Ukraine deal with Democrats and didn't tell House Republicans until after his Continuing Resolution passed. More deceit."

What evidence did Gaetz have, almost immediately after the CR vote, to accuse McCarthy of caving in a backroom dirty deal? House Democrat Leadership released this statement Saturday night: "When the House returns, we expect Speaker McCarthy to advance a bill to the House Floor for an up-or-down vote that supports Ukraine."

+ + Joe And The D.C. Uni-Party STILL Want To Give Ukraine BILLIONS!

Even former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says this weekend's CR vote "was a victory for Democrats, a defeat for the MAGAs." As America's southern border continues being overrun with illegal aliens, the D.C. Uni-Party STILL wants BILLIONS more taxpayer dollars for Joe's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.

When will patriots finally say "ENOUGH!" to the "America Last" policies of the Regime and D.C. Uni-Party? When will the American people demand Congress protect our border from an invasion with the same resources and enthusiasm they're protecting Ukraine's?

As an American taxpayer, you can strongly condemn Russian aggression, support the Ukrainian people and STILL demand the Biden regime protect our nation's border, too. That's why we're empowering you to call on key GOP Senators and Reps to demand Joe's Regime "Stop Protecting The Wrong Border!"

Take immediate action if you want Congress and the White House to secure the U.S.-Mexico border BEFORE helping Ukraine protect theirs! Click here or on the banner below now to demand Joe's Regime and the D.C. Uni-Party "Stop Protecting The Wrong Border!"

+ + Take Action Now To Demand Congress End Ukraine Funding And Protect America's Sovereignty, Security And Way Of Life!

Russia's invasion of a sovereign nation should be a wake-up call to Joe Biden and his failed administration. The Ukraine crisis has shown the world, in real time, what can happen when a country's border is NOT secure. Unchecked illegal immigration is a direct threat to America's safety, sovereignty and way of life.

Joe and the D.C. Uni-Party are POURING TENS OF BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars into Ukraine, while ignoring the humanitarian and security crisis that's been raging along the U.S. border with Mexico since he ascended to office in 2021. When will the madness end?

If you're fed up with the "America Last" agenda of Joe's Regime and Establishment RINOs, tell Republican leaders in the House and Senate to demand Democrats defend American interests first, before spending BILLIONS protecting Ukraine. Click here to add your name to the "Stop Protecting The Wrong Border!" national petition.

When Grassfire reaches 20,000 signatures, we'll deliver your petition to Republican leaders in Washington, D.C. You can demand GOP Senators and Representatives take action to stop Joe's Regime from spending BILLIONS to protect the wrong border. Thanks, in advance, for taking action.

P.S. P.S. Again, Joe's Regime is throwing its arms open for millions of illegal aliens and doing NOTHING to stop the crisis along America's southern border. Also, the D.C. Uni-Party stands ready to open taxpayers' wallets with BILLIONS more for Ukraine. If you think $113 BILLION is enough for Joe's proxy war, click here or on the banner below to sign the "Stop Protecting The Wrong Border!" national petition:
