Why is @potus getting boo'd for saying SOME republicans has proposed cutting so sec/medicaid?
- Rick Scott proposed every law sunsetting every 5 years. -McCarthy and GOP had a bill to push back the age.
-Pence just proposed privatizing SS.

Republicans voted to raise the debt ceiling for Trump — not once, not twice, but 3 times. But now there's a Democrat in the White House, they don't want to raise it again. It’s a con to create economic chaos, and we shouldn’t fall for it.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

I don’t want to hear a single thought or prayer from Republicans about the mass shooting in Monterey Park. I just want action. I want Republicans to finally act to reform our nations broken gun laws & condemn anti-Asian hate in all its forms. Until then, spare me the condolences.

Today, Republicans in Congress demonstrated their commitment to “fiscal responsibility.”

The first bill advanced by the GOP adds $114 billion to the deficit — by allowing the super wealthy to cheat their taxes while everyone else pays.

Corporate lobbyists are popping champagne.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Did Jim Jordan honor the power of the bipartisan January 6 Committee SUBPOENA? I’ll wait.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Your regular reminder that Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and Speaker Kevin McCarthy both ignored bipartisan congressional SUBPOENAS.

Why is Josh Hawley still in the Senate two years after provoking a deadly insurrection against the U.S. government? And why hasn't Trump been prosecuted yet?

[Michael Beschloss @BeschlossDC]

Need to know every single secret commitment he made to appease his House Republican enemies in order to become Speaker.

[Kurt Bardella @kurtbardella]

Have these morons thought through this one-member motion to vacate threshold at all? How are they gonna feel about it when @RepAdamSchiff and @RepSwalwell invoke it every day after McCarthy boots them from serving on Committees.

[Michael Beschloss @BeschlossDC]

And so one of the strongest House Speakers in American history is succeeded by what is likely to be one of the weakest.

[Jamie Raskin @jamie_raskin]

Nice moment to recap progress we made this last Congress: breakthrough climate action, lower Medicare prescription drug prices, historic infrastructure investment. Now Republicans in 1 week have turned the House into the laughingstock of the world.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

2 years ago Capitol was attacked. Man who incited it is now running unopposed for Republican nomination for President. His co-conspirators in Congress are now deciding on next Speaker and on what terms. None have been prosecuted.

[Michael Beschloss @BeschlossDC]

Never thought I'd hear the 1923 nine-ballot Speaker's fight praised by a Member of Congress (just now) on the House floor, and the ensuing Speaker Fred Gillett's collaboration with Coolidge on economics and diplomacy that ultimately led in part to Great Depression and world war.

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

Kevin McCarthy: yet another man who doesn't understand that "no" means "no."

[Maxine Waters @RepMaxineWaters]

Know that I am Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ greatest supporter. After 6 House vote attempts, Kevin McCarthy should step aside in shame and embarrassment. He does not have the votes. Enough is enough!

[Marcus Flowers @Marcus4Georgia]

This bears repeating.
