Republicans are acting EXACTLY as expected. Number 1 priority: raise the debt limit so they can pass fiscally irresponsible tax cuts that put us further in the hole. There is nothing novel about this. President Musk is just following the play book.

@chatabix1 do you have the video of you two doing the poses? Hilarious.
@chatabix1 just catching up on patreon. The bodybuilding ep was wonderful. The magic Egyptian I nearly peed my pants. I could hear Joe giggling after you said it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Things already going well in the Republican Senate
What the hell is going on in the US Senate? Hours after Donald Trump wins the most conclusive mandate in 40 years, Mitch McConnell engineers a coup against his agenda by calling early leadership elections in the senate. Two of the three candidates hate Trump and what he ran on. One of them, John Cornyn, is an angry liberal whose politics are indistinguishable from Liz Cheney’s. The election is Wednesday, it’s by secret ballot, and it will determine whether or not the new administration succeeds. Rick Scott of Florida is the only candidate who agrees with Donald Trump. Call your senator and demand a public endorsement of Rick Scott. Don’t let McConnell get away with it again.

Exactly.
AM @speakerjohnson's HOUSE REPUBLICAN CONFERENCE could end up with a majority of between 218 to 220, leaving them in the same predicament they had for the last two years. Narrow margins -- but the stakes are way higher - TAX BILL - RULES PACKAGE - Speaker vote to give Johnson gavel - procedural motions - everything on MIKE JOHNSON'S barely there majority -- if he gets it

@HCCvPDAC Is there any reason to think they wouldn't do the same again? They won't have a strong majority in the house and will struggle to get things going without Dem help there.

See. He's already draining the swamp 🙄🙄
SUSIE WILES will be White House chief of staff. Wiles is a longtime top campaign figure. Trivia: She worked for Jack Kemp in the House.

@JohnStreicher1 Even if he gives him the job (big IF!!), it's highly unlikely rank and file GOP are going to go along with his bat shit ideas. The GOP will certainly need Dems in the house to get around their ultra right wing crazies who will block everything.

We've seen this happen over and over. It's not rocket science. Of course, it's always possible they go "full Gilead" but that's not where I'm putting my money.

All this stuff about "Dems will never win again unless they do X" is bullshit. Give the GOP control, watch them fuck it up for 4 years and get booted out. This country just goes from right to left to right to left. "When you're losing, the best players are always on the bench"

Ooooh OK. This changes everything.
Democrats are now favored to flip control of the US House, according to the DDHQ Election Pulse.

Harris and Dems have had an absolute shocker tonight. Likely worst case scenario now (WH, House and Senate).
