Supreme Court ruled that a duly elected member cannot be denied their seat, meaning a judge could step in to administer the oath or order the House to allow it. In other words, once the government reopens, Johnson will no longer be able to act as the gatekeeper.

They’ve always wanted to destroy the ACA and SNAP because they hate when government helps people. They believe in socialism for the rich and survival of the fittest for everyone else. If you still think Republicans act in good faith, you’ve never met one.

Pardoning your co-conspirators to own the libs!
Most of their charges are state charges, so this doesn’t actually help them. It’s gross, but it doesn’t really move the needle.

The accomplices Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Jenna Ellis, Christina Bobb, and dozens of fake GOP electors get pardons. The truth-tellers get threats.
And next up, a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell.

Notably, this pardon comes just days ahead of a Nov. 14 deadline for the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia to appoint a replacement prosecutor for Fani Willis, who was disqualified from pursuing the case.
Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”
Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

Politics seems like a cluster. In my extremely limited take, it seems that funding SNAP, reopening the government, and paying government employees is a good thing especially leading up to the holidays. Republicans own the shutdown and the next fight is keeping ACA around.

A promised vote on the ACA? See, they can’t include the ACA without having to bring the House back into session - and they’d have to swear in Grijalva. That’s what this is all about. Protecting the Epstein files.
