Good sum-up here
@NoLieWithBTC
Republicans somehow managed to replace Kevin McCarthy with a Speaker who is more unlikeable, more extreme, AND more incompetent.
Just incredible.
Plus- she knew how to count. There are apparently no GOP who can.

I guess I'm hoping there's still one tiny spark of ethics left in him.
Also possible that MTG and Gaetz and Stefamik are going to find themselves in bigger trouble.
@CalltoActivism
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Republicans Matt Gaetz and Elise Stefanik have introduced a bill that says Trump is not an insurrectionist.
What a waste of government resources.
In a follow up rant, Marjorie Taylor Greene declared that anyone who called Trump and insurrectionist (or any Republican lawmaker) was a liar).
There’s only one thing to say in response:
1) Donald Trump is an insurrectionist.
2) Marjorie Taylor Greene is an insurrectionist.
I'm not sure Roberts wants his legacy to read "He bent the knee to Trump every chance he got".
Good! I wonder of the SC realizes how bad they will look it they don't expedite it?
Now we'll see what the SC says.

They have done a good job of attracting top rate personnel and partnerships. We'll see what comes of this.
I think that's maybe why she's changed her mind to run again. She may feel that she's abandoning the Ukrainians if she doesn't stay and fight for then as best she can.
In some ways she isn't. She's not a RINO, but she does have some more humanitarian areas.

Congresswoman Spartz: “We owe a lot to our veterans.”
This is interesting. obviously one vote the HFC will not gain back if she wins.
Republican Rep. Victoria Spartz announced Monday that she will be seeking re-election in Indiana in 2024—a surprise reversal after announcing last year that she would not run again.
Spartz, a Ukrainian immigrant who represents a suburban district of Indiana, has already served two terms in Congress and initially said she would not seek a third because she wanted to spend more time with her family.
“Looking where we are today, and urged by many of my constituents, I do not believe I would be able to deliver this Congress, with the current failed leadership in Washington, D.C., on the important issues for our nation that I have worked very hard on,” Spartz said in her statement. Her decision should rattle the nine Republican candidates who have already filed to replace her in Indiana’s fifth congressional district.

Well- you don't have to own the stock, you know. Trade it in for something you like better.
He must be afraid of losing his "speakership".
For her, that's tactful!
Well- we can hope. But if it doesn't get to the floor- it won't matter.
I guess there is no legislative rule that can be used to force the to bring it to a vote.....................

BREAKING: House Republicans just announced they will NOT bring the bipartisan Senate border deal to a vote in the House. There are no two-sides here. Democrats & President Biden have nothing to do with our this & the media & every voter must understand that. They are traitors.
I think it would be fun to set a dish of them in front of Trump and say "This is how we treat rapists".
I can't imagine anyone in their right mind eating one of those!
You might be able to convince an adult that they maybe didn't see what they thought they did. You cannot do the same with a child.
I'll tell you a good story. When I was really young, I was fascinated with cars- all cars. I learned what every one I saw was, One day when I My Mother and I were out grocery shopping, we saw a hit and run. Mom gave the victim her name and phone number in case she needed a witness. The next day the police called and said they would be by to take a statement. One of the things they asked was if she knew what model car it was. She didn't. I said "It was a 1958 2 door Buick Special with a white top and a light blue body". The policeman gave me a really strange look. My Mom said "She knows all cars". I was 5 years old. My Dad said "Why don't we take her down to the grocery store and she can tell you what every car in the parking lot is". So that's what we did. The policeman was astonished, but he put in his report that there was a very reliable witness who identified the hit and run vehicle!
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge in Washington formally postponed Donald Trump’s March trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election as a key legal appeal from the former president continues to work its way through the courts.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan on Friday vacated the March 4 trial date in the case brought by Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith but did not immediately set a new date. The move creates an opening for a separate case in New York, charging Trump in connection with hush money payments to a porn actor, to proceed first.
The postponement comes as a federal appeals court has yet to resolve a pending appeal from Trump arguing that he is immune from prosecution for actions he took in the White House. It is not clear when the three-judge panel might rule, but a ruling in favor of prosecutors that permits the case to move forward is expected to be appealed by the Trump team, likely resulting in additional delays.
For both sides, timing is of the essence. Trump, who faces four indictments and 91 felony counts, is looking to push his criminal cases back as he enjoys front-runner status in the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Smith’s team, meanwhile, is hoping to be able to prosecute Trump this year before the November election.
The Washington case had been expected to take place first, but it has been delayed for weeks by Trump’s appeal on immunity grounds. The appeals court heard arguments on Jan. 9, and though it had said it intended to work quickly, has not yet issued a ruling.

That would be excellent!
Yes, they can.
This is just excellent!
BREAKING: The Oregon Supreme Court just BANNED the 10 Oregon Republicans who staged a walk out last year to block bills on abortion right, LGBTQ+ rights, & gun reform from running for re-election in 2024 or 2026. They messed around & find out. Very good.
Ah- thanks for that!
Wouldn't this be terrific!!
@politvidchannel
BREAKING: looks like Special Counsel Jack smith is close to indicting the GOP members of congress who assisted Trump in conspiring “to overturn the presidential election and overthrow the government.”
Thanks- I'll go read TA (I only do that for cause)
Sounds like a win-win for you all around. Congrats!
It's beyond me how they think they can impeach someone for not doing a job they -the GOP- won't allow them to do.
Sounds good! You get decent pay and hours?
I love it! Like he could ever be that popular!And he is still whining about not being Time's Person of the year!
Excellent! What is the new job?
This is a Yay Judge!!

NEW YORK (AP) — A judge says Elon Musk must give up a compensation package awarded by Tesla’s board of directors that is potentially worth more than $55 billion.
The ruling in a Delaware court comes five years after a shareholder lawsuit targeted Tesla CEO Musk and the directors. They were accused of breaching their duties to the electric vehicle and solar panel manufacturer, resulting in a waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment for Musk.
Plaintiff’s lawyers argued that the pay package was dictated by Musk and was the product of sham negotiations with directors who were not independent of him.
Defense attorneys said the pay plan was fairly negotiated by a committee of independent directors, contained lofty performance milestones, and was blessed by a shareholder vote that was not even required.
Not that he'll abide by it, I'm sure, but he can't ask his supporters for money to pay the $83.3M unless he specifically says that's what it's for.
And there's this too

After it was reported that Biden was actively seeking Swift’s endorsement, Fox News stars have been pleading with the megastar to “stay out of politics” and “stick to singing.”
Well- I guess SF will take their fans wherever they can get them................
LOL- she's at least smart enough to realize that she is not going to win against a real attorney!
Agreed- a terrific role model!
They should know all about idolatry. That whole thing just cracks me up and I love it. She's living rent-free in every MAGA head!
