Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!"

Nah, he's throwing a temper tantrum because of the nine that didn't fall in line.
They'll do something when it's about their own ability to work remotely. Otherwise, they do not give a fuck.
A GOP-led procedural vote in the House failed after nine Republicans joined Democrats
Pog
I'm gonna start keeping track of who from each party is actually resisting
This wasn't a partisan issue. It was literally just letting new mothers vote.
I'll call it resisting if the American people have consequences
resolution to allow members who give birth or lawmakers whose spouses give birth to have another member vote for them for 12 weeks.
Well that sounds like a stupid proposition. The "other member" could simply use their second vote to vote however they want in absence of the lawmaker with a newborn. Surely there are better ways to handle this.
Those voter ID laws would have been the death knell for democracy, as they were in the Jim Crow South. Stopping them had incalculable benefits for the American people.
At least until next Monday.
Phew, the world is saved.
It shouldn't be a partisan issue, but it clearly is.

Now accepting bets on when Trump dissolves Congress.
You mean, when Musk dissolves congress?
Republican women in our house of Representatives are demanding maternity remote work for themselves. Twelve weeks. That's twelve weeks more than Americans get.
So they'll have time off with their babies. And still get paid. With their free taxpayer funded Healthcare.
Leading the charge was Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla. She was in the freedom caucus, who opposed giving special treatment to women. But Luna had a baby last year. So guess what's suddenly important to her now? She left the freedom caucus.
I fucking LOATHE Republicans. Their brains are broken that they can't imagine something unless it happens to them. They're too stupid or selfish, I'm not sure which. Pretty sure it's stupid.
shes one of those , i want my slice of cake i dint help buy or make, but a larger slice of it.
12 weeks is so crazy little. i got 8 weeks, as a father, and my wife took 78 weeks (at a reduced weekly pay)
Babies have to learn to be self sufficient as early as 12 weeks so that they can enter the workforce and learn to be oppressed sooner.
They yearn for the mines, not the moms

Definitely stupid. Also selfish, but definitely stupid. I've met too many of these god damn people that just cannot fathom seeing the world from the perspective of anyone else.

Wonder when they'll start floating the idea of martial law.
"marshall law"
That's a Tekken character.
You're thinking of Martian law.
And I dub thee Sir Phobos, knight of mars, beater of ass. thump
I'm overdue for a Sealab rewatch
Better than Lily's law
Or Cole's Law
Their primary objective of Martial Law will be to suspend the mid-term elections, and they don't want to show that hand too early, and give it time to get through the courts.
So they'll wait until next summer, when the protests have grown huge, and the enraged citizens are on the warpath. They'll send in their RedHats to instigate violence, then send in armed authorities to quell the street violence with ferocious armed violence. That will be met with more violence, and the streets of American cities will look like Hong Kong.
Then they will use that as justification for Martial Law, and suspend elections until peace is restored, and since HitlerPig controls the peace that will never happen.
Next summer is going to be wild.

Good. Let's be honest here... When Republicans stop working America benefits.
I'm not sure if this is Johnson acting immature and throwing a tantrum because the GOP couldn't get their way, or if he's buying time to make sure they can get the nine Republicans into line before trying again.
that is true to get them to toe the line, but i suspect its a distraction for the wisconsin judge fiasco.
