I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Thank you, Professor Richardson. I feel ashamed of the antics by House Republicans. The world is anxious and so are we! There must be a way to get weapons to Ukraine!
President Biden should announce that he plans to send troops immediately to Ukraine for field exercises with the Ukrainian Army. He can do that with the D.o.D. training budget and Congress can not do a damn thing about it. That announcement would almost certainly snap Congress to pass that aid; the troops would never need to go.
This would cost him the next election. This head fake would be fodder for Republicans and the FOX and other MAGA media to blast that Biden was putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. Americans are loath to have American soldiers in another war.
It is a time for courage. Watching Ukraine get slaughtered by fretting when a noisy and noisome minority huffs and puffs will more likely cost President Biden the election. Time to stick it to the fat man rather than to appease the gangster régime; time to call a blustery bluff or two. You know what el Señor Emilio Zapata said: better to die on one's feet than live on his or her knees.
