Let’s think about MTG resigning. The House currently has 218 Republicans, now 217 there are 212 Democrats. With MTG’s resignation, there are FIVE special elections coming up. IF (big if) Dems win all five, total will be 217 Repubs, 217 Dems. No wonder Johnson is shitting himself.
Thank you, MTG!

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.

This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
