A lot of people seeing this seem to think all Reps remain near the House Chamber at all times in case a quick sneak vote is called. This is not, in fact, what happens. Both parties rely on and provide each other basic schedule notifications. The Democrats are not the bad guys in this situation

or did you assume that since i’m white and a tranny that i must have family that hate me
I have to say, though, if they made it back for the vote, they had to have actually put contingencies in place. They ARE capable when motivated.
This is like playing a game against someone focused strictly on the letter of the rules and not the spirit. Do not rely on norms, the Republicans are consistently breaking them.
Your anger is best direct at the people who actually do the bad things!

Now is the time. We’re the heroes we’re waiting for.
You want to support a party that cooperates with Trump that’s your decision. My father fought the fascists, the least I can do is not cooperate with them. You obviously feel differently.
Sad people had to risk their health for this trash...
How do we have the most feckless party in the world and the most cowardly defenders of it?
That means that unless they convince Republicans to cross the aisle, they cannot defeat the thing.
I don't understand how you're unable to understand this. It's Schoolhouse Rock level politics.
And also, they don't need a majority to gum up the works. All they need is a single person to demand a quorum call.
You aren't serious about fight fascism at all.
disabled folks are already terrified, scapegoating one disabled representative over the 217 republicans who voted to pass the bill isn’t helping us.
i am also telling you, as a disabled leftist, there are plenty of reasons representatives should step aside that aren’t because they’re disabled. (they aren’t representative of their base, etc) your rhetoric is hurting our community.
an old proverb about closing the barn door after the horse escaped describes the current dem party activity
Elections are over. They're saying that part out loud. This doesn't get better without getting a lot worse first.
They’re preparing to do something really illegal. It’s called martial law. Dan Caine and Hegseth will absolutely order civilians to be shot
Big mistake
Literally nothing is good enough for you people.
Grow the fuck up.
I am not pleased with how Schumer/Jeffries have performed, but they are not the bad guys.
He is an entrenched nebbish.
Its an op.
Democrats did that.
It’s sickening
Sickening.
They haven't in the past.
Many voted for the worthless, dangerous cabinet picks. Every Dem should have voted no, every one.
Just like they are trained to do.
I ignore literally everything they say has they have been a huge part of what got us here to begin with.
🤔🤔🤔
Progressives sounded the alarm bells about Trans rights, centrist dems did nothing and are now saying "we need to abandon Trans rights to win".
Fuck off with your ambiguity.
And dont conflate progressives with leftists....
Those are not interchangeable.
You know they're gonna let prisoners rape us to death, right?
Best I can say now is the ever so banally self-depricating phrase "We're not ALL like that..."
It would be good to learn what got those few swing Rs to flip, and if they're likely to stay flipped once the actual bill with huge cuts to Medicaid and SNAP comes down.
Thank you.
I hope Rep Spartz enjoys her 30 Rubles for how she continually betrays her homeland.
For too many folks, it's easier to blame the fix it crew.
Trump take egg though, so good luck.
in good faith or playing by any rules or social norms.
