So Republicans on the Problem Solvers Group expected Democrats to commit political hari-kari because the GOP can’t govern itself out of a paper bag? https://t.co/8vNLzZH8vN

In a dear colleague letter, Hakeem Jeffries cites the partisan summer showdown over the NDAA as one of the reasons House Dem leadership will vote to vacate Speaker McCarthy. pic.twitter.com/qovKPYec0E

The Speaker of the House is chosen by the Majority Party. In this Congress, it is the responsibility of House Republicans to choose a nominee & elect the Speaker on the Floor. At this time there is no justification for a departure from this tradition.
The House will be in order.

Crucial point in @RepJeffries's statement: Again and again, the whole GOP conference, so-called moderates included, have enabled and actively empowered MAGA. https://t.co/ncZ8AbTIES

Woo hoo
This means Alabama will have a second district comprised predominantly of Black voters in 2024. Which means Alabama will have the opportunity to send a new member to Congress next year.
Good news for the section 2 challenges currently being heard in Louisiana and Georgia. https://t.co/xhxjnKbMRn

They lie, cheat, and steal
YOU MIGHT WANNA READ THIS 😆
So billionaire Harlan Crow was bribing the Supreme Court when Citizens United went through – and The Federalist Society helped and they ALL tried to overthrow the government in 2021?

Why he loves talking about slaves
This article could have been one word long. https://t.co/0cBOdb2If5

So slaves are the ones who should pay reparations?
Thought this might be exaggerated, but nope. New Florida education standards for social studies require teaching that slaves "developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit."
This is all Ron DeSantis, folks. Unreal. pic.twitter.com/W6JLhnqxzc
