Any allegations that Greene is transparently working as a Russian agent are entirely unsubstantiated.

    Apparently Anna Paulina Luna says if the motion to vacate hits the floor several Republicans will immediately resign, giving the house to the dems. Honestly, that’s probably the best thing the Republicans could do. The dems would have to pass legislation immediately enshrining reproductive rights into law or they’d look like chumps. That would energize the conservative base and depress the liberal vote. The Republicans intend to institute one party rule if they win the presidency and rule by fiat. If they have to accept six months of abortion being legal in order to go full Handmaid’s Tale, I think they would take that bargain.

      We’re seeing significant attrition among both parties in 2024

      This would, at worst, expedite the process for a handful of them, with the expectation that the House would be in gridlock through the end of the Congressional cycle anyway.

      Even then, I wouldn’t worry too much. Current Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has pledged to support Johnson in a bid to keep his Speakership. He’ll probably get more Dem votes than Republican ones, but he’ll keep his job.

      The Republicans intend to institute one party rule if they win the presidency and rule by fiat.

      2002 all over again. Yehaw.

      Can’t wait for another Teri’s Law and assorted Congressional bullshit and tomfoolery.

    You’re right. She’s been entirely opaque about it for quite some time.
