To clarify. It does not need to be republicans. It needs to be members of the majority party, which currently happens to be republicans.

You are only 5 votes off from being able to remove him all together. If he refuses to bring a vote to the floor for the people, please attempt to rally for a removal of his position or convince republicans to reconsider their leadership to someone who will actively work for the people.

It would be the most entertaining, but earlier this year house passed a new ruleset to limit the function of a motion to vacate. Requiring that it has to be a member of the republican party to initiate it and it requires 8 other republican votes on top of the ⅔ vote in order to be followed though.

Trump admitting that the GOP had the power to end the shutdown whenever. Also proving that he has the power over them to have a say of when they can use that power like his puppets.

Grijalva? Who is that? I never knew she got elected. Why don't they tell me these things? I guess. If she gets her votes confirmed (again), i will swear her in whenever i'm available.

[Quick guys, shut it all down again, lose count 80 times, rig the vote so she didnt win or something]

It is all available to research. It can be found. There is likely several autistic chroniclers taking note of everything and every effect to compile it all when it is over. It will be documented, published, and potentially in history books if we ever get back to educating our population.

While the recall election is a thing, it can't be used here. Johnson is not able to be recalled because he is working at a federal level and that supersedes state laws and policies. There is only a few methods to actually remove a house member. Expulsion, death, term end/vote out, and resignation.

Regardless. Giving us less for the same price is just a more decieving way of hiking the price. It is toxic and hurts everyone in the long run, including the environment with more left over packaging.

Can't ask him about it, he won't know anything.

Without access, stores will claim profit losses and hike prices to misfortune everyone else for their sales loss.

If his lack of knowledge or awareness as a Speaker is that impeded to where he never knows current events, then perhaps he is not fit for the position. Offer it to another republican for all I care, first and foremost, reopen the government. He doesn't have a plan, replace him with anyone who does.

The House of Representatives holds power to discipline members for failure to perform their duties (such as refusing to negotiate terms for reopening the government without having a valid reason). All you need is a motion to vacate then censure. He needs to be replaced if this country is to exist.

It's going to be more than that. Without the food benefit funding, a lot of families won't be buying the same food. This counts towards sales decreases. Which in turn will cause a price hike to make up for sales losses. Now it isn't just lower class suffering, it's lower and middle class.

Not even just that. SNAP/food stamps fuel the economy. It's money that stores are getting from people who otherwise wouldn't/can't buy the food. Stores will see a decrease in sales. They are going to hike prices to make up for it. So this doesnt just effect people who were on benefits.

It's not a negotiation. Dem house brought to the floor a standalone bill to help SNAP and WIC, nothing else, no strings. It was voted against by the same people who are keeping the government shut down.

And here's the thing. SNAP benefits the economy, not just the people enrolled. When stores don't have people using these benefits, sales are gping to drop. They are going to try justifying a price hike to make up for loses.

Also, because without the snap benefit users buying things in the store, stores will sell less and claim they need to increase prices to make up for losses. All prices go up the moment we stop helping people live affordably. Then nothing is affordable to anyone. I support always helping.

If you think that food stamps is bad, you couldn't be more wrong. If you think it won't effect you. Try again.

With food stamps gone, there will be a huge decrease in sales at your grocery store. Stores don't like losing money, to make up for that, hope you like increased prices to make up for it.

Pennsylvania too

User not found @brokenuser.bsky.social · 3d

Other states are doing it too. I know i at least saw Pennsylvania too. Someone should pool them together in a thread.

Could have sworn that they were demonizing video games and anime. Then they go and use pokemon and video game references left and right (usually in illegal copyright ways).

Results can be;
1) free healthcare, lower costs for everyone
2) no free healthcare, cost spreads to everyone
3) no free healthcare and if you don't want to share the cost, then all hospitals go bankrupt and then no care for anyone.

User not found @brokenuser.bsky.social · 4d

And the worse they are, the more it costs. Take away the healthcare and they will hold off until they dont have a choice, meaning really big bills that they won't pay and they dont have healthcare to take it, so that gets spread to everyone.
