The fact that they didn't sign the discharge petition shows they're only loyal to whichever way the wind is blowing.
Mike Johnson decided to quickly schedule a House vote on an effort to force the release of all of the Jeffrey Epstein case files once he realized that it couldn’t be stopped.
House GOP leaders are bracing for a significant number of Republicans to break from Trump and support the bipartisan bill.

Who exactly cares about this difference? No one is being accused (that we know of) of SA on five-year-olds. Pointing out that there are even worse crimes than the ones that actually occurred does not lessen their severity.
Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

Wow. A politician who looks at the needs of the people who elected him and goes straight to work on those issues instead of the special interests of the big money people who donated to him.

Democrats should be holding the line on healthcare the way Republicans are holding the line on the Epstein files
This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

This is a lie. All 31 Moms for Liberty candidates in contested races lost their 2025 elections. The only "wins" were in uncontested races. Apparently, being hypocritical, book-banning scolds isn't so popular.

So why wait until November to give us this information?
Vibrant autumnal foliage and agreeable weather are two reasons that October might be the best month of the year to be outside in New York City. A third is the people watching, which can offer endless style inspiration — particularly for putting on layers. See more street style here. nyti.ms/497zwH4

Air traffic controllers need to eat. They have to pay rent. They need to whip out a classic Mr. Road Rules might understand.
If air traffic control goes down, everything stops and the Republican Congress might actually get their butts in gear and do their jobs.

Call me old fashioned, but back in my day, a "job" was an arrangement that involved exchanging one's work for money. And if one ever stopped, so did the other.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants air traffic controllers who are not being paid to "show up because it's their job." How about Congressional Republicans show up and do their job by ensuring all federal workers are paid, travelers are safe, and our healthcare is protected? seiu.co/482c2SH
