With the retirement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the passing of LaMalfa, it looks like the GOP no longer holds a working majority until his seat is filled. It’s at 217. They need 218 for a majority.

I don't know George personally beyond our interactions on social media, but I have one specific reason for thinking his candidacy a great idea.
Congress is full of people wanting a lifetime sinecure. George just wants to be part of the process of holding Trump to account, and he will. Good luck.

The Trump WH today triples down on the claim that there is "no evidence of armed rebellion or intent to overthrow the government" by Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021. Obviously that's a brazen lie, as shown by extensive court documents, video recorded by Trump's own supporters, and other evidence 👉
2/ Trump quickly had lots of help from compliant Republicans pushing a key lie about Jan. 6: the absurd claim that it was a peaceful 'love fest' and that no one had been armed. But as our investigation made clear, many Trump supporters brought guns that day: www.motherjones.com/criminal-jus... 2x

Cuba is basically one giant Pottery Barn at this point and Rubio wants to smash it.🧵
Cuba is the ultimate manifestation of the Pottery Barn Rule. If they destabilize the govt & can’t rebuild the economy quickly, then they will face a tsunami of migration that will make the MASSIVE 1980 Mariel Boatlift look like a picnic. Rubio’s dream is Miller’s greatest nightmare. This is no joke!
