Yeah I cannot explain how or when he broke his brain. But it happened.

Still impressive that the wine bottle got opened though. I have no idea how…but it happened.

…he can only lose 2. HFC has said they are a yes. Hard to say besides Massie who might break ranks. Maybe MTG because *looks around at earth* or Sparz who’s always a question mark until she falls in line.

I think it passes House, with lots of churn but all performative.

Get ready for 2026 folks.

Cloture is “we agree to stop debate” on whatever topic.

For the record, I’m opposed to every and all closure votes. FIGHT FOREVER.

But now, since Senate passed, it’ll go back to House. Johnson can only have 2 defections on party line vote. But Golden, Cuellar, & MGP could vote w/ Rs.

So….

Yes and no. One would presume the Rep-elect would also sign, but once the DP hits 218, it’s done. No other names are added.

But it’s probably helpful to Massie et al that they have that vote in their pocket should one of the Rs balk and yank their name off the discharge petition.

I’m sorry. My mistake. But was still very happy to see you in line at zero dark thirty this morning

Attention @dictionarycom.bsky.social please include the above 👆🏻

No idea. And I’ve been thinking about it basically non stop since it happened.
