@mav.wtf this sort of thing (from before today's #HandsOff protests worldwide) shows the cracks in the facade. Their 218 member majority cannot tolerate handle more than ~4 people to vote against #USHouse #Republican bills, and the #USSenate is already not a reliable Republican bloc.

Senate Republicans safely huff and puff about separation of powers, knowing that the House Republicans will do nothing.

There is a #Dem member of the parliament who has been holding a speech in the #USHouse for, like, 19 hours as a filibuster. And so far so good. But it can do so because the very modern rules of the chamber allow you to speak as long as 'you can stand'

I'm gonna try this again because it's important.

If you have people in Florida, please talk to them about the US House Special Election on April 1st. Both Gay Valimont and Josh Weil are decent candidates that would help tip Congress toward decency.

I suppose Kari Lake will be running for office again. Why isn't she included in the circle of Trump's incompetents?

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to censure Houston Congressman Al Green for disrupting President Donald Trump's address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday in Washington.

is it time to talk about #RecallElections for every #MAGA sycophant that's subject to #recall? apparently it's unclear if members of #USCongress can be recalled (probably requires #SCOTUS review). but if we can get rid of 1 or 2 #Republican #USHouse members, the #Democrats can take control.

“House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington (R-TX) released his spending and tax blueprint Wednesday morning – the initial step in kicking off the reconciliation process,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Arrington is already taking withering criticism from members of his own panel and the broader House Republican Conference.”

I walked in on my sister watching the house speaker vote on #MSNBC just as democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, we’re standing up applauding Mike, I-keep-my-porn-habit-accountable-to-my-son, Johnson. It makes me want to vomit

House votes to keep Gaetz ethics report under wraps - because of course they did, cowardly bunch they are. #USPolitics #politics #USHouse #HouseRepublicans #Republicans #ethics https://www.axios.com/2024/12/05/gaetz-ethics-resolution-vote

Can anyone explain, in language even an engineer could understand, what a "privileged resolution on the House floor" is and what it does?

Thank you.

Am I imagining things … or is this an overwhelmingly male point of view?

“There we were: three men from three states… Athleticism and determination reign supreme.”

What female House member wants to engage in ‘1,000 push ups in an hour bonding’ in the gym?

Oh boy... Some folks in #Maine are rethinking #RCV already. It seems one of my Green Independent friends triggered RCV, which led to a Republican getting elected to a state senate seat. And #JaredGolden is about to face an RCV runoff as well, which could mean another Republican for the #USHouse. Ugh...
