your tax dollars pay for partisan propaganda from demented bigots

18 out of the 24 million who are about to get ed on healthcare - are republicans.
(Top 10 states to see mammoth increases- ALL RED STATES - Texas #6)

I don't have any faith the Dems will hold the line - and I hate to see people suffering no matter their party...
but this would be a time to hold the line and allow these red state fux to FAFO.

Maybe the cult spell would splinter a bit when a normal red hat couple making 85k a year and spending 7k in health care suddenly get a 25k yearly health care bill.

The republicans will all blame the democrats for their high health care bill and the Trump s will all believe them.

Republicans currently on vacation worry about the optics

During a private conference call with House Republicans Thursday, at least three lawmakers raised concerns about keeping the House out of session after it passed a stopgap funding bill that never made its way through the Senate, sources told MSNBC.

California Representative Jay Obernolte warned that staying home would make it seem like Republicans were “prioritizing politics over government.”

“I think we’re gonna get to a point where it’s damaging to continue to keep the House out of session,” he said.

Oklahoma Representative Stephanie Bice said she had “concerns” about lawmakers staying in their districts during the government shutdown, and that cons uents probably “wonder why we’re not there,” according to one source. She warned leadership to imagine the optics of staying home next week, when lawmakers could just as easily deliver messaging from Washington.

North Dakota Representative Julie Fedorchak expressed a similar sentiment, arguing that their messaging would be stronger and more consistent if they weren’t all working from home.

Some Republicans have already voiced their disapproval publicly.

California Representative Kevin Kiley fumed at the speaker’s comment Thursday, claiming that the House would likely remain out of session for another week because “we’ve already done our job.”

“What the House has done is pass a 7-week Continuing Resolution. The entire reason a CR is necessary is that Congress has not done its job in passing a timely budget,” Kiley wrote on X. “The Speaker shouldn’t even think about cancelling session for a third straight week.”

Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has found herselfat odds with party leadership, has slammed Johnson all week for sending lawmakers home.

“I think he should really bring the House back in session for many reasons. We have appropriation bills that need to get passed. There is a new Democrat that’s been elected that does deserve to be sworn in. Her district elected her. We have other bills that we need to be passing,” Greene told CNN Thursday. “Any serious speaker of the House is going to build consensus within his conference behind a plan. It’s not something secret that gets worked on in a committee.”

declining to argue the merits at your own hearing is certainly a choice

lack of leadership

long defensive crouch

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.

Next voting day is 10/27

Mike Johnson extends the Republican vacation from official duties during the shutdown

besides the fact that impoundment is illegal, Trump is promoting disunion by choking off money to states that didn't vote for him
