the 'Patriot 20' get $20M boost from conservative Club for Growth

The conservative Club for Growth is pledging to spend $20 million to ensure that the House Republicans who nearly cost House Speaker Kevin McCarthy the speakership stay in their seats.
Politico obtained a memo Monday from Club for Growth's President David McIntosh informing donors that the group planned to prop up what he's labeling the 'Patriot 20' in both primaries and general elections next year.
Prominent members of the group include Reps. Lauren Boebert - who nearly lost her 2022 race to Democrat Adam Frisch - Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, freshman lawmaker Anna Paulina Luna, Byron Donalds and Scott Perry, the current chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana, who is mulling a Senate run, is also on the list.
'Club for Growth Action is prepared to spend $20 million in defense of the Patriot 20, the group of members who fought to advance conservative priorities and establish a more transparent and accountable legislative process in the House during the Speaker negotiations in January,' McIntosh said in the memo.

The suit claims that Texas unlawfully installed the barrier without permission between the border cities of Eagle Pass and Piedras Negras, Mexico.
The buoys are the latest escalation of Texas’ border security operation that also includes razor-wire fencing, arresting migrants on trespassing charges and sending busloads of asylum-seekers to Democratic-led cities in other states. Critics have long questioned the effectiveness of the two-year operation, known as Operation Lone Star. A state trooper’s account this month that some of the measures injured migrants has put the mission under intensifying new scrutiny. In anticipation of the lawsuit, Abbott sent President Joe Biden a letter earlier Monday that defended Texas’ right to install the barrier. He accused Biden of putting migrants at risk by not doing more to deter them from making the journey to the U.S.
