This is the kind of situation where states like Maryland should enact their own state laws to replace the defunct federal protection.

There was huge tumult over the price of eggs. Now how about the price of a cup of coffee?

Thank you for highlighting this. It needs more attention and outrage. Is someone going to file a lawsuit?

And I saw assertions about particulate emissions but no data about comparative quantities. Very weak argument.

To me he’s “Chicken Andy” — talks a big brave game but chickens out when it’s time to vote.

He’s hoping to embarrass hypocritical Republicans who made public statements then voted the opposite way to pass the Big Ugly Bill. Hopefully at least 4 of them will feel so embarrassed they will vote nay.

And perhaps the real reason, they need MTG’s vote to pass the bill in the House

Chicken Andy needs to grow a spine and vote no on the Senate version that raises the debt ceiling by $5 Trillion and increases the actual debt by at least $3 Trillion.

Will Andy grow a backbone or maybe some cojones and vote against the Senate version? Or will he chicken out again? The Eastern Shore exports a lot of chickens but we don’t need on representing us in Washington.

So Andy Harris says he strongly opposes deficits. But he chickened out when the House passed Trump’s “big bill” that increased the debt and voted “present” to let the bill pass. The Senate passed version increases the debt by over $3 Trillion and raises the debt ceiling by $5 Trillion.

Thank you! Make sure they read the entire big ugly bill, and then make as many points of order and amendments as possible. This is a fight for the people!

Still stalled, now 46 to 50. Either there’s a dragnet out for the missing senators or there is serious negotiating and pressure going on. My guess is the latter. What changes will they make to the bill on gain holdout Republicans’ votes?
