  1. So that toss-up race in NY wound up 54-46, which ain't that close.  But I don't think we can or should read too much into it.  That said, nice to have godboy Johnson's majority thinned even more.  

    1. Seriously, does Taylor have to do everything??  All while doing a world tour??? She sure scares the begeezuz out of these #broflakes  We’re  thinning the herd, one election at a time  

    1. Yeah, that's a great use of house time, when legislation is badly needed.  But let your blood boil with excitement.  I prefer a yawn for the performative jackassery that is the GOP keystone kop majority

    2. Going to be a fascinating study to see what the Senate does …

      Ignore it entirely?  Send it off to a committee for “consideration”?  Take it and actually hold a trial, allowing the House managers to come and present their positions, then immediately vote to dismiss, based on the fact that there is no ““treason, bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” As Ken Buck pointed out, “Maladministration, incompetence, and a blatant disregard for the American people’s wishes are notably absent from the list.” To say NOTHING about the administration of the awful jumble of policies in the US immigration “system,” the incompetence of a Congress that would rather talk about a problem than do something to address it, and a blatant disregard for the realities of the treaties promising asylum to those who have a legitimate fear of persecution.

      One thing I am certain they will NOT do — waste time on a full trial.

  2. Here's Wall Street's take on Speaker Johnson and the Senate's Ukraine funding bill:

    MW Johnson offers fresh criticism of Senate's Ukraine bill, but House expected to give OK eventually

    "Our call remains war assistance will flow this quarter," analysts at 22V Research said in a note to clients. "Beyond that, we like you, will watch and learn with interest."

    In a similar vein, Terry Haines, the founder of Pangaea Policy, wrote: "The House likely bumbles, mumbles, stumbles and grumbles for a couple of weeks before it approves this aid package."

  3. Acute Trump’s Dementia Syndrome is spreading to the Senate.  Chickenhawk Sen. Lindsey Graham now pulls a “Sir Robin”, and reverses himself on support for Ukraine.

    “I talked to President Trump today and he’s dead set against this package,” Graham said on the Senate floor on Sunday, a day after the former president said at a rally that he would let the Russians do “whatever the hell they want” to NATO allies that did not spend enough on defense. “He thinks that we should make packages like this a loan, not a gift,” Graham said.

    It marked a departure for the senator who was harshly critical of Donald Trump’s “America First” foreign policy when he ran against him for president in 2015, in part on a message of launching a U.S. invasion of Syria.

    The only way to get ahead in today’s morally, ethically and intellectually bankrupt GOP is to abandon any values or principles you may have once held.
