Q: Do you owe it to the American people to at least negotiate?

THUNE: Well, I think we have negotiated. I don't know what there is to negotiate.

What a dip shit! I guess our health care isn’t important enough for him to negotiate. Extend the ACA problem solved and open the government. Pay your fair share of taxes it’s not that complicated! You greedy monsters 👹 👺👿

Look, folks, he's the *Speaker* of the House, not the Listener of the House or the Watcher of the House.

You can't expect him to be aware of major events that are unfolding right before him.

Today Trump confirmed that instead of helping you with rising costs, he's sending $20 BILLION of your money to...wait for it...Argentina.

Why? Because he wants to keep his right wing friend there in power, and he wants to help the billionaires who benefit from a bailout.

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

We all knew it wasn’t limited to just one rogue GOP group. The white supremacists are everywhere within their ranks. Like a fish, the rot starts at the head.

A tweet from Bill Madden reads: “How long are we going to keep pretending that the fascist Trump regime is not a cabal of Nazis? Texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, reveal vile pro-Nazi and racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people.” Below, a retweeted post from Kaivan Shroff says: “BREAKING: new racist Republican group chat has been leaked to Politico featuring texts from Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel. Ingrassia’s texts include vile pro-Nazi & racist messages targeting Black people, Chinese people, and Indian people.”

Johnson needs to be sidelined for not doing his job! He’s the worst Speaker of the House in history and the biggest fraud!

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

Comer: "The evidence we've gathered does not implicate President Trump in any way. Public reporting, survivor testimony, and official documents show that Bill Clinton had far closer ties to Epstein. We're working to bring former President Clinton in for a deposition, but Democrats aren't helping"
