Mike Flynn is a spy.

@ArmandoNDK @KagroX and you!

President Trump just said, “We don’t have empty shelves.”

FACT CHECK: Here are pictures my husband @nathanielcline took today in Virginia. He couldn’t find paper towels or bread. There are definitely empty shelves across the country.

@joshHuder Ds should demand making Rules an evenly divided panel, by adding Ds for the balance of the 118th Congress, their price for any help in blocking a move to vacate the chair.

@ReduxStl Ah, right! What does Cameo do again? Word up! Right! Oh well.

As for omni... yes, it means what it means. But that doesn't mean it gets used correctly. Ever! Much less on Capitol Hill!

@Ami_Marisol @ringwiss It's really just the same thing. UC and motions to proceed are just different forms of the same validation.

Who says this is the pending business? Who says this is the final form of the bill?

Some action of the body says so. Even if it's just a polite nod toward some sorcerer.

[David Waldman - @KagroX.bsky.social @KagroX]

@Ami_Marisol @ringwiss This reminds me a little bit of why they make you learn to do basic math by hand, instead of just teaching you to use a calculator.

It all actually makes sense on its own.

[David Waldman - @KagroX.bsky.social @KagroX]

@Ami_Marisol @ringwiss Oh, no doubt! But I do find that it helps make sense of this otherwise stupid-sounding motion.

"Who says this is the thing this body should be voting on right now? Some magical wizard 'Speaker?' A so-called 'Majority Leader?' No, WE will determine that for ourselves."

[David Waldman - @KagroX.bsky.social @KagroX]

@Ami_Marisol @ringwiss Granted, the reality is that most Members haven't got it in them to really bother with those decisions on every single measure that could come up, and happily cede it to an elected leader instead and just rubber stamp those choices instead.

@ballerinaX @NateForUtah About 1:13:20 is where the story starts. 1:21:40 where the senator is mentioned.

[David Waldman - @KagroX.bsky.social @KagroX]

@NateForUtah @ballerinaX Oh no. My nightmare. An interest in listening to the podcast from someone whose name I might have mispronounced.

@BNONews “Every Republican accusation is a confession.” @KagroX

[David Waldman - @KagroX.bsky.social @KagroX]

@DanaHoule I spotted this after all! Little practical difference if he's the only one routinely missing. It should only matter in where threshold votes are measured in terms of "Senators duly chosen and sworn," versus "present and voting." And that's usually in the cloture context.

[💥 Yeps 💥 @LaFontaine70]

@ArmandoNDK You were good on @KagroX gaming-out the (crummy) defenses in the various cases. Why don't those TV lawyers do more of that? Pretty illuminating.

[David Waldman - @KagroX.bsky.social @KagroX]

@Bosengood @DemFromCT @Yastreblyansky As I recall, Mike Flynn was there. And the Overstock dot com guy, too, I think.

Then, go pick up today's podcast for free, anyway, because I'm ultimately a self-defeating liberal at heart. https://t.co/JYCDVDDzJC
