I keep hearing predictions about whether the Dems will get control of the House again in 2024. But no talk about whether they can keep control of the Senate. It's such a razor thin margin there already and you say 6 are not returning? Do you see anything in your Jamie crystal ball?
Also, I'm kind of shocked that Kyrsten Sinema was given that seat on the Appropriations Committee, given that she dumped the Democrats to become an independent and was a thorn in their side (along with Manchin) for so long. Any insight there?
Politico is now reporting Rep. Don Bacon’s (R-Neb.) wife was threatened via anonymous text about what would happen to her husband’s political fortunes if he didn’t vote for Jim Jordan (Bacon turned out to be one of the 20 No votes on Mon). Sounds more like the tactics of a mob boss than a House Speaker. Wonder where Jordan and his goon squad learned that. Today’s vote should be interesting.
So Fetterman can wear sweats in the Senate, but a woman reporter can't wear white soles in the House. I think everyone needs to dress professionally, but everyone should be able to wear comfortable shoes. That's a health thing that affects your joints up to your spine, and then all kinds of things can go wrong.
The shoe thing Jamie. It just goes to show what is important to people. As I sit to write I often wonder if people will find it interesting. Then I read some thing like the response to your tweets and I realize once again that its pointless to wonder!!!
I guess Sen. Sinema got the Appropriations Committee seat due to rank. I figured they would pass on her due to previous hard feelings. I guess those have simmered down. I also thought the Rules Committee was higher up the food chain that would keep a freshman from sitting on it.
With everything going on in the House and the increased number of “safe” districts I wonder how damaging this will be for the Republicans.
