He is going to make his Trump class battleships run on coal isnt he
The USS Fat Leonard class Riverboat, Casino, Coal (RCC) fleet will be the largest in the world.
Trump's going to build our fleet of strategic coal-fired riverboat casinos.

Someone should have a thread made exclusively of "Johnson hasnt heard about that"
There's a new entry in the neverending feed "Mike Johnson doesn't know shit"
Q: There's reporting that federal judges are increasingly frustrated with DHS for defying court orders in cases involving ICE detainees. Should the administration be able to miss deadlines?
MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not gonna comment on a report I haven't seen. That's the first I've heard of it.

Holy shit. The prosecutor who just resigned from the D Minn in revolt against orders to investigate Renee Good after her murder is local counsel for Don Lemon now in Minnesota. Wow.

And now the House has defeated the rule, 214-217. The expectation is Democrats will immediately get 2 votes to block Trump’s tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Those motions are ripe and ready for voting tomorrow.
Speaker Johnson can no longer stop time (that's what his motion did, procedurally speaking)

This is interesting, the House has been routinely blocking votes to negate individual tariffs, which Democrats have the right to call, through procedural trickery. But some Republicans have had enough, and the extension of the trickery may now end, with tariff votes sure to follow.

To be clear, this will largely just embarrass Trump. He can veto these motions to lift the emergencies that underpin his tariffs. But a majority of the House and Senate will have rejected them (Senate has already passed a couple of these).

This was Mike Johnson's third failed rule vote of the 119th Congress, bringing him closer to tying the modern era record for rule failure in the House.

RULE VOTE FAILS, 217-214.
Three Republicans- Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon - buck the party to allow floor consideration of measures to end Trump's tariffs.
The first such measure, likely on Canada tariffs, could come up as soon as tomorrow

Republicans have been holding this vote open for 40 minutes or so, but the holdouts- Massie, Kiley, Bacon, reportedly left the Capitol. The absent Republican is Greg Murphy (R-NC), who has missed a lot of time since a mid December surgery.

You mean Jefferies is actually doing his job, despite what I hear on here?
House Dems have once again achieved full attendance on this vote series, a thing Republicans have only managed to do on one vote in 2026. An impressive run by House Dem leaders to begin the year
House now taking the first of two procedural votes which include language embedded by Republican leadership that would surrender congressional powers to block Trump’s tariffs until August. They’ve passed these measures several times over the past year; this extension expected to be a close vote

I believe this includes the thing that would prevent votes on tariffs, correct?

Donald Trump and the Republicans are threatening to destroy representative democracy while killing civilians, taking massive bribes, destroying alliances, and exploding costs. That's why it's so critical that the Democrats find candidates who are inspiring enough to get me to vote.

it's great that grand juries are stepping up but I also do not think you should be allowed to practice law after bringing a case like that
Breaking News: Prosecutors failed to secure an indictment against six Democrats who posted a video reminding members of the military to refuse illegal orders.

The rejection was a remarkable rebuke, suggesting that ordinary citizens did not believe that the lawmakers had committed any crimes.

Except this white house has learned that if they just dig in long enough the media will eventually lose interest. (Although that may not be true for Epstein)
