Congressional Investigator trying to survive the chaos. My views are my own.
🧵So, the sitting president says he will not enforce the fines but TikTok says they need stronger assurance. The ban doesn’t require the app to go full dark but TikTok goes full dark EARLY then restarts when someone who isn’t president yet says he’ll pause the ban in a tweet. How is that stronger?

Sitting in the Hegseth confirmation hearing today I was growing frustrated at his inability to just answer a damn question. GOPs folded and asked nothing serious and Hegseth blew off Dem questions. He’ll be confirmed and he knew it so he didn’t take it seriously. So unqualified it’s embarrassing.

There’s rumors of a challenge for the speakership in January. It would honestly be a dumb move. Johnson is respected by most of the House GOP and the public is unrealistic in their expectations of what is possible with GOP margins. There’s no one who has enough votes to challenge him.

🧵 The hypocrisy of the last few days is out of control. The first CR republicans hated because it had too much “pork” in it and Musk told them to hate it. Trump was fine with it (per Johnson) til Musk publicly challenged it. So just like Musk, Vivek, and others asked for they made a clean CR.

🧵Congress has been an absolute madhouse today. From my interactions with Johnson in the past and my understanding of him, he honestly tries to our country before party when push comes to shove but we aren’t there yet. He negotiated a bipartisan deal that failed due to musk. (1/?)

I saw some folks talking about the drones that were over the Capitol the other night. We were told in advance about them, they were part of Capitol police. They do drone sweeps regularly. Can’t say much but I wouldn’t be too worried about the drones around.

For my AI peeps, the House released it report on the future of AI. It’s long but definitely worth a read.

I was trying to have a discussion about the studies done showing biological differences between brain function and structures if some transwomen and cisgender men and X suspended me temporarily for using a slur because on X “cis” is a slur. WTF? 😅🤯

I have a few other members of Congress I feel like we should send these PowerPoints to.
In my defense, I was already making a PowerPoint for something else. I hope it makes you laugh!

The current CR expires on Dec 20. The House is in recess until Dec 3 with 12 in session days left in 2024. There’s a chance of a CR til after the 119th is sworn in but the GOP may shutdown til they regain power. There is no GOP budget plan ready to be enacted in January nor agreement on direction.

When I tell you I did a cartwheel in the halls of Rayburn when I heard Gaetz dropped out 💙 my colleagues (who are Republican) were also relieved. Now we hope Desantis doesn’t appoint him for Senate. 😬

The GOP needs to stop saying Americans gave Trump a mandate. They voted for him, mostly to lower prices. This is not automatic blanket support for every plan and action he takes. I think they’ll find even Trump voters don’t support several of his plans.

Can y’all imagine if Harris had won and she tried to force the Senate into recess so she could push through woefully unqualified nominees? MAGA would riot and claim communism/fascism. Yet here they are saying it is treason to not let this happen since it is Trump’s will. Insanity 🤯

I opened the app for the bad place and immediately saw Mike Lee talking about election fraud and ran to the good place and saw a dog basking in the sun as soon as I opened the app. A breath of fresh air to not see hatred and vile every five seconds on here.

I’ve decided I am not sparring with MAGA trolls on bluesky. When you see they are only following big left creators, you know they came here simply to argue and for no other reason. Not stressing me out on this Sunday afternoon. BLOCK. ☕️💙

Hi BlueSky fam! Just introducing myself over here. I’m a nonpartisan congressional investigator. I joined social media to fact-check politicians who lie to their constituents, regardless of party. Trying to keep people informed and honest about what is really happening in Congress. 🦋💙
