Nancy Pelosi had an equally small margin. She got major legislation passed with ease on a party line vote.

MAGA Mike Johnson is not only losing control of the House majority, he's also losing control of basic speech.

Moskowitz: Speaker Johnson seems to have memory problems: I haven’t seen that. I haven’t heard about it. You’re telling me this for the first time.
He just can’t get away from trying to defend the president without making it look like he has absolutely no idea what’s going on at any point in time…

They cheat. They bought Dominion so they own the vote counting machines. They are slanting election law in their favor. They will just cheat. Stop imagining the next election will be fair. It won't. They already cheated and will again. Cheaters cheat.

As congressional hearings go on in public today and can be watched live online by everyone, Jack Smith is testifying behind closed doors despite his written request to appear in public because Republicans don’t want the American people (again) to hear him destroy their lies.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Massive defeat for Mike Johnson. Still has to clear the senate, but this is what Dems wanted all along. Johnson has essentially lost control of the gavel after Epstein and now this. Weakest speaker in history.
