Don't trust them. If Dems take even a seconds break they will call a vote to push through some nonsense. Remember these people are evil and only want power. Obstruct in ever way possible.

ilbassfisherman.bsky.social•1 day ago

The manipulation is astounding. Suck it up buttercup, you lost, let the vote continue. POS

chrisfs.bsky.social•1 day ago

If they have the votes to continue business, then they can continue.

For today you lost.
SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP.

They’re going to push her out of the caucus with that crap. I listened to her yesterday on NPR she wasn’t happy with her caucus.

relentlesszebra.bsky.social•1 day ago

She already quit on her own I believe

zefirotorna.bsky.social•1 day ago

She quit the House Freedom Caucus. That’s where Stone Age Republicans reside.

Why does The House get paid?

Beautiful, love to see it. Now comes the part where some Republicans, fearful for their political careers, now see that continuing to back TCF is a losing move. That they're now crossing to vote with Dems to stop this nonsense is now undermining Little Johnson. Can't control his own people.

loving the part where *Luna* is part of this

robert-e-630.bsky.social•1 day ago

lol Chuck Schumer should take notes

lizzius.bsky.social•1 day ago

Chuck Schumer should just retire.

jaygles.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hard to write while you’re licking boots

wendymadarling.bsky.social•1 day ago

That "expected" makes me suspicious. The Dems need to leave a few spies to make sure it's not a fucking trap.

mgkm.bsky.social•1 day ago

Grow up, MAGA Mike Johnson. You work for the people. Do your damn job and stop wasting our money.

So no D.C. budget fix yet

this is my shocked face 🙄

adamvann.bsky.social•1 day ago

As a DC resident with three kids in public schools- waiting a couple weeks for a DC budget fix is worth it for stuff like this

slabgorb.com•1 day ago

well, they could have passed it already, since they seem to want to run our town

randomreader.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'd like to point out that DC's fiscal year is ongoing and that they passed a balanced budget on time. Congress has not managed to do this in decades.

tclark36.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes! More of this please! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social

laserjockaz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Its freaking Tuesday. They give up this easily?? What are they being paid to do??

What a bunch of freaking snowflakes.

aiiswizardofoz.bsky.social•1 day ago

I guess they'll now have to rule by Executive Order and which Dem is going to stop them? At some point someone has to actually do something!

educ8tusall.bsky.social•1 day ago

Good

tomscud.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is all because they don’t want to allow new parents to vote by proxy?

romwriteenable.bsky.social•1 day ago

this is all because they want to treat women as property instead of human members of society

rjmig.bsky.social•1 day ago

What are the chances that the Republicans do what they did the last time where they canceled votes and then schedule them again when they thought all the Dems had left?

sarahrenity.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh no. You just reminded me this happened

maaaatttt.bsky.social•1 day ago

Pretty much 100%

exatron.bsky.social•1 day ago

There's likely some sort of ratfuckery afoot. Republicans will tear through any rules or norms to push what they want.

cheesebiscuits.bsky.social•1 day ago

I was about to say, they should stay in town just in case. Or have folks at the airports confirming all the republicans have in fact gotten on their planes.

sfineville.bsky.social•1 day ago

THIS is good thinking! Dispatch the pages to Dulles! 📢

timothystamm101.bsky.social•1 day ago

More DCA, but yes.

rjmig.bsky.social•1 day ago

Was gonna say the same.

yinkadoubledare.bsky.social•1 day ago

Such a ridiculous hill for Johnson and other Republicans to die on too. Like 80% of Americans would support letting the new parents proxy rule go in effect but Fake Christian Mike's having a tantrum.

sekkuto.bsky.social•1 day ago

“Expected” votes are cancelled, but what about unexpected votes? Can’t count on Republicans to try to sneak votes in anyways.

lyndawoolard.bsky.social•1 day ago

When we fight…

hudsonrivercroc.bsky.social•1 day ago

TFW dem leadership in the house is better than in the senate @schumer.senate.gov

alishagrauso.bsky.social•1 day ago

Schumer isn't the real leadership anymore. At the moment, it's Cory Booker.

Today in Congress has been a massive jolt of hope for me.

Good! Stop the coup!

Please use alt text for these things. I don’t reskeet without alt text except in major circumstances.

dr0923.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why did he cancel votes for the rest of the week? Is he just throwing a tantrum or is this a procedural thing?

bookerator.bsky.social•1 day ago

They work hard for our money. /s/

Sounds like a trick..

@housedemocrats.bsky.social

trapdoorz.bsky.social•1 day ago

Every delay, at this point, is a good delay. Keep up the work, resist, resist, resist. This one is even better since its Republican on Republican violence. Speaker Johnson is weak, and the weaker he gets, the more he will work with Democrats enraging Maga.

billythiex.bsky.social•1 day ago

Let's delay everything for about 4 more years.

coloradocarly.bsky.social•1 day ago

All because they don't want an exception for women with newborns to vote by proxy.

sublimejah.bsky.social•1 day ago

They don't want women to be in Congress at all. Shame on them.

liberalgigi.bsky.social•1 day ago

That’s why she had a meltdown and left her caucus

dohart.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thus far we’ve only gotten a taste for the “cost cuttings” aspects of Project 2025. The Handmaid’s Tale stuff comes next.
