Just a reminder that under the present, GOP House of Representatives rules, we'd need just nine Republican Members to agree to move to vacate Mike Johnson's Speakership and reopen the government. We don't have that... we don't have even nine decent Republicans who give a shit about the country.

So in western Alaska, thousands of people are homeless due to flooding rains, one person is dead & two people are missing. But yet, the regime hasn't said a word, no thoughts or prayers, nothing.
Once again, they could care less about Americans, it's about enriching themselves through GREED.
