“Biden can’t keep anything straight when he’s in public," said Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX), who has repeatedly called for Biden to be drug tested before the debate.”

I think you mean Ronny JOHNSON, as he must be called from now on according to maga guidelines. But I do love the irony of how HE’s calling for drug testing, after he won the “pill pusher of the year, White House edition” award.

The GOP is always intent on adding

WORK Requirements for obtaining Medicaid, etc.

How about this:

Let’s require Senators & Representatives to work in Washington, 40 hours a week!

We can even let them have 6 weeks vacation

Which will be scheduled for Congress not to be in session those weeks.

Too many absences: you lose your ‘vote’ for a period of time

PS. If Congress expects workers to ‘show up’, let’s expect the same from our elected representatives

"So let's just assume that Biden puts forward a credible debate performance. What happens then for Republicans?" - you'll recall that he did exactly this for the State of The Union address (gave a coherent, credible speech) and the Republicans changed nothing in their approach.

Not surprised that “Sovereign Citizens” are among the J6 defendants. They are an odd group of conspiracy theorists.

You can laugh, but Andrew Miller WILL be the convict’s newest lawyer. Sovereign lawyer, I should say. And he won’t get paid, either.

Seems like one of the 30 Senators is missing, a Democrat. I counted. 22R, 3I, 4D. Just curious who the 5th Dem was.

Jamie, will we ever see recess appointments again? Cordray of the CFPB was a big Obama one, is that correct? That's the last big one I remember without doing any research. It seems like the Senate really doesn't want those to happen anymore, so we get these 6:30am pro formas.

I feel like some Capitol officers could file charges against Miller and make his nonsense moot.
