REPUBLICANS HAVE EVERYTHING: the house,senate&white house & have had it for 10 months. They knew the deadline but their speaker has leadership deficits. and had ample time to NEGOTIATE it...which they don't know how to do or want to do.
I refuse this huge increase. @housegop.bsky.social

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

Common sense prevails. A CONVICTED FELON (Trump) should never be awarded any kind of peace prize. He had MILITARY this past week in our streets, including Black Hawk helicopters repelling on apartment rooftops. @nobelprize.bsky.social

So long as the House stays out of session, he’ll keep refusing to seat Rep. Grijalva—the 218th vote on the Epstein files discharge petition. See how desperate they are?

Tweet from Aaron Rupar:
“Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he’ll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away.”
Attached image shows a C-SPAN split-screen of the U.S. Senate and House chambers. Text on the left reads:
“U.S. Senate – Waiting for a Senator to Speak. Today: Votes Possible on Gov’t Funding Packages.”
The right side caption reads: “U.S. Capitol – House Speaker Mike Johnson Remarks on Day 7 of Gov’t Shutdown.”

He is the speaker of the House. Johnson can gavel the House in anytime he pleases. That's kind of the point of being speaker.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.
