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.
Not clear why Johnson is still holding this vote open

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

When people are afraid to go to work, afraid to shop, or afraid to gather in their community, it hurts families, neighborhoods, and our entire economy.
If you can, show up for a small business and let’s continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

Bad Bunny's halftime show was in a mysterious unbreakable code but they've got crack investigators working night and day to determine if it was obscene.
This is sort of like when the FBI was listening to that Louie Louie song in the 60’s to figure out if it was obscene but here they could ask 900 million people what the words are
Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

In the aftermath of the shooting, Exum was in a chat group called "posse chat."
Another in the chat asked about Exum's vehicle.

Would love to know what law these legislators could possibly have violated by reminding service members of their obligation to refuse illegal orders.
