3 more Rs break with Mike Johnson. How long until he's given the Kevin McCarthy treatment?

It’s been three weeks since House Speaker Mike Johnson sent lawmakers back to their districts, and Republicans are getting seriously sick of his WFH strategy.

"The U.S. is two economies. There's an enormous AI boom going on, huge investments, particularly in data centers. If you took that out of the numbers and you just looked at the non-AI parts of the economy, it's basically flatlining. We're on the cusp of a non-AI recession."

I’m proud to stand with 163 House Democrats demanding that the DOE reverse this decision and put families first.

We can’t afford to let this Administration continue to drive up costs for working families in Monroe County.

SEEC Clean Energy Deployment Task Force Co-Chairs Levin, Casten Lead 163 House Democrats to Demand DOE Reinstate Canceled Projects

Washington, D.C. – House Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC) Clean Energy Deployment Task Force Co-Chairs, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) and Rep. Sean Casten (IL-06), led 163 House Democrats in a letter to Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright condemning the termination of $8 billion of projects that were set to lower electricity costs for Americans and increase grid reliability. The lawmakers further demanded that DOE immediately reinstate the projects.

The Department of Energy canceled over $8 billion in clean energy projects nationwide—including three right here in our community.

These projects were about lowering electricity costs, improving reliability, and creating good-paying jobs.

If an ICE agent roughed up Jim Jordan, his wife, his kids or grand kids, would he declare "You're doing a good job!"?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Jim Jordan after he's played clips from videos of ICE brutalizing people, including American citizens: "I don't know the specifics of those examples you gave. What I do know is these ICE agents are under tremendous pressure ... I think they're doing a good job."

Proper security for the American people would be if you and your ICE goons got the fuck out of our cities, and stopped instigating unrest, @jd-vance-1.bsky.social

Encouraging people to exercise their rights is not "fetishizing". But all the non-voters that say stupid shit like you said are the first to whine when things go to hell.

Next time, get off your ass and vote (all of you, not just you in particular).

These are the same people that don't understand what the "machine" they're raging against is

That's why Paul Ryan looked stupid when he talked about how much he loved RATM.

If my Republican colleagues fail to work with us, 267,000 veterans will lose their health care, according to a new report from the Urban Institute.

These are Americans who put their lives on the line for our nation, who will be priced out of health care if Congress doesn’t act.

Reminder that one of the best ways to avoid complying with something is to say you’re going to comply and then never actually do the thing you’re being asked to do.
