Greene says Johnson refused to share health care plans on GOP conference call, and honestly, the whole thing feels like a play we’ve seen before. It’s the same old song and dance: Republicans promising a better healthcare system, but when pressed for details, there’s a deafening silence. It’s almost like they’ve been running on this platform of “repeal and replace” for years, but the “replace” part is perpetually stuck in the planning stages. We’re talking about a party that has been promising a healthcare plan since roughly 2011, and yet, the closest thing they’ve got is… well, nothing.
In a move that’s got people talking, Greene, of all people, is calling out Speaker Johnson for the lack of a concrete healthcare plan during a recent GOP conference call.… Continue reading
Speaker Johnson has the power to pass a bill immediately that would fund both the military and air traffic controllers. This legislation would avert potential financial shortfalls and ensure continued operations for these critical sectors.

The House’s partisan split has become even narrower with Democrat James Walkinshaw’s swearing-in, reducing the Republican majority to 219 seats.

President Trump’s appointments of three House Republicans to his administration threaten to leave the GOP with a razor-thin, one-seat House plurality until at least April 2025, jeopardizing his legislative agenda. This unprecedented situation arises from the current election results and pending special elections to fill the vacated seats. The resulting narrow majority significantly hinders the passage of key legislation, including the renewal of Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, which face opposition from a faction of New York Republicans. This precarious control also increases the vulnerability of Speaker Johnson’s leadership to further member resignations or deaths.

The upcoming election certification process seems to be a point of contention and concern for many, including myself. The uncertainty surrounding whether Speaker Johnson will certify the election is a cause for alarm, especially given the current political climate and the looming threat of election fraud. Liz Cheney’s lack of faith in Speaker Johnson to uphold the election results resonates with the growing apprehension that many of us share.
The possibility of the Republican party rejecting the election results and attempting to seize power is a terrifying prospect. With the likelihood of a civil war with these individuals looming, the need for preparation and decisive action by the Democrats is more critical than ever.… Continue reading
