Johnson lays out ambitious schedule for House GOP, remains open to stopgap funding

By Mariana Alfaro

Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), the GOP’s latest speaker-designate, laid out an ambitious schedule for the Republican conference to pass appropriations bills before the Nov. 17 deadline when the government will run out of funds.

This package is filled with hatred and punishment for the trans community and other marginalized people. Mace’s proposal didn’t make the cut because she is a raving lunatic and a loose cannon that criticizes Republicans as much as Democrats. Like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mace stands little chance of authoring any legislation.

Johnson was sending her a deliberate message; we don’t trust you and you’re an embarrassment so sit down and shut up.

"I recognize that as a White man, I have privilege. And as an elected official, I have a responsibility for the words I use — especially in the heat of the moment. Regardless of what I meant to say, I shouldn’t have used that language," he added.

Am I surprised that a so-called 'Democrat' from Maryland is currently ratfucking our Democracy, just enough to keep conservatives in power? Absolutely not. #Maryland has a very long history of Champagne Socialism, ie, wealthy asshats who have long used the 'Independent' moniker as an excuse to judge from a lofty perch. We have quite a few saboteurs to get rid of, but everyone, please thank piece of shit, #DavidTrone for making sure that we stay in a state of LIMBO, in Congress, as he shovels red meat to the Right, with lightning speed.

Somebody slap me and wake me up’: Democrats react to Trump’s speech

Democrats panned Donald Trump’s first prime-time speech to Congress since returning to the White House as reaction to the address revealed a country still deeply split on political lines and an opposition party unsure of how to deal with his radical agenda. SEE MORE...

The Democrats’ exclusion from the corridors of powers – Democrats are in the minority in both the Senate and House of Representatives – has left them with limited options on how to effectively respond to Trump’s hardline 1hr 40min oration that amounted to a celebration of his purported achievements during his six weeks back in office.

oops...

what if he started getting LOTS of calls to actually start that investigation? What if we just bullied the shit out of this spineless piece of trash MAGAt until he at least pretends to do something...

An insurrectionist rapist felon fraud can not be held to any standards. He is white supremacy.

The Republicans are a white supremacy special interest group.

Bad news. KOSA advanced.

Continue calling your representatives and tell them to vote no on KOSA. It passed the Senate Commerce Committee, not the full Senate, we still have time.

STOP KOSA NOW.

Edit: July 29: The full Senate is voting on KOSA TOMORROW! Please call your representatives and senators to vote no! PLEASE!

Edit: July 30: Senate passed KOSA! The House vote is next. Contact your representatives to vote no now! PLEASE!

Edit: August 1st: KOSA IS DEAD! For now. It may pop up again. Be on the lookout, if it does pop up again, tell your senators and representatives to vote no!

Edit: September 13: KOSA MIGHT RETURN! Follow the instructions on this post PLEASE!

Edit: September 20: KOSA PASSED THE HOUSE COMMITTEE AND ONTO THE HOUSE FLOOR!! This happened on September 18th, I am a bit late and for that I'm sorry. But it’s not over! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THIS POST, PLEASE!!

Edit: September 27: THIS ENTIRE POST STILL APPLIES! THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER, WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO FIGHT! PLEASE CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO VOTE NO! PLEASE!!

Edit: October 6: @the-vampire-fish-queen said, “Do want to point out Congress is not in session right now but come back around 11/12/24. Also, the Republican leadership is fighting over the bill.” WHICH IS VERY TRUE!

FOR REPUBLICAN REPS:

FOR DEMOCRAT REPS:

Edit: October 25: The Heritage Foundation KNOWS that Kosa will REMOVE Pro-Abortion and Trans content IF Trump wins. It has also come to my attention, that from what people have heard from the House of Representatives, Kosa will MOST LIKELY not move on. The keywords there are most likely, keep fighting!

Marjorie Taylor Greene rages at Mike Johnson “funding the trans agenda”

Greene has brought more chaos to the House by threatening to oust Johnson from his role as speaker. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) continues to attack House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for allowing a House vote on the $1.2 trillion government funding bill that President Joe Biden signed on Saturday.

If they elect a speaker today

Congressional Reporter Reese Gorman of the Washington Examiner stated on C-SPAN that if Johnson is elected speaker today, the first action will be to pass a bill condemning Hamas, the second would be to pass a continuing resolution, extending the budget to either January 15th or April 15th. We are 23 days away from the November 17th deadline, so either would be welcome.

I've never been so quickly disappointed by "the first trans person to do X" before.

Fascism thrives on compliance.

For fuck's sake.

To be clear, Mace's bill is not the standard issue bathroom ban: it is aimed solely and only at trans women & other trans people who were assigned male at birth, regardless of their actual gender. It does not seek to enforce a two-way ban based on "biological sex," but specifically targets transfeminine people, which it refers to as "biological males."

[contemplatingoutlander]

No, Mike. What's "absolute insanity" is someone who shouts to the world that he's a "Christian" and yet doesn't mind people (including children) being potentially maimed or killed by buoys that have "circular saw blades" attached to them.
