Suddenly, that list grew to 125. Then what? We went back on Tucker. We went back: Hey, here is what the list number is. Suddenly, that number grew to about 160. We got it up to 195, and then it stalled. Then 2 weeks ago, when all of the title 42 news started breaking that the CDC director in all her infinite wisdom--I'm not going to go down that rabbit trail at the moment--and the Department of Homeland Security Secretary said, Oh, yeah, we are not going to do title 42 anymore. All of a sudden, people around here said, Whoa, well, that will be a thing. I knew it was a thing a year ago, and my friend from Virginia knew it was a thing a year ago. The gentleman has been to the border four times in his brief tenure. I live 100 miles from the border. Well, my District is 100 miles from the border. So we get this discharge petition. Now, we have got it. We have got 210, I think--give or take one--signatures on that, all Republicans. Not one Democratic colleague has yet to sign it.
