Reminder: they didn’t need a pay-for when they added $4.5 trillion to the national debt to give their billionaire donors a tax break. They only need a pay-for when it comes to helping hard-working Americans afford their health care

[Laura Weiss @LauraEWeiss16]

SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON told me "I lament how this turned out in the end" when asked about the fallout with mods who wanted a vote on the ACA cliff

"They know. They'll tell you that I worked really hard with them to try to... craft an amendment that would work. In the end, they they opted not to do that. We needed to pay-for - not to get too deep in the weeds - but we needed a pay-for under the rules. And for whatever reason, they decided they did not want to do that."

"So, I mean, they made the choice. But I understand that there's a desire by a number of those members that they really want to have a vote, and we tried to do that. So we'll see how it turns out today."

Republicans are going to rip away health insurance from 16 million Americans to “save money” then give a cash infusion to hospitals that they wouldn’t need if those 16 million people didn’t have their insurance ripped away. The Republican platform is fuck poor people (as we knew)

[Sarah Ferris @sarahnferris]

I just asked Thune if FMAP off the table and he said he “won’t rule anything out”

GOP hardliners like Scott making a big push to downsize FMAP which they say is only way to rein in Medicaid $ growth

They say FMAP changes could fund Senate “rural hospital fund” for R mods

That sound you just heard was the collective last breath of anyone still pretending to be a small government conservative

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

Trump says he'll revoke Harvard's tax exempt status.

[Tyler @theotherTA]

This is a joke. They need your votes in the Senate, too. You still have leverage.

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

FETTERMAN, who will vote for the House CR, weighed in just now on situation Dems find themselves in:

“The only time we had any leverage … [was if] the Republican needed our votes in the House. The GOP delivered and that effectively iced us out and that forces us to say, are you gonna shut the government down? or are you are gonna vote for a flawed CR? And now for me, I refuse to shut the government down.”

I guess the Declaration of Independence Constitution and Bill of Rights should be moved from the Archives to a history museum

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

"CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"
–President Donald J. Trump

[Tyler @theotherTA]

Another game another @GeorgetownHoops giveaway not available to season ticket holders. What is the incentive to renew when you’re punished for being a committed fan?

[Tyler @theotherTA]

@GeorgetownHoops it’s ridiculous that you don’t hand out gray out shirts at every entrance or at least ensure your season ticket holders who still show up at least get a shirt. No wonder fans are abandoning the program in droves

[Tyler @theotherTA]

Turns out calling Dems snowflake is a sign of respect and fear

[Kate Sullivan @KateSullivanDC]

NEW: Trump’s inauguration is expected to be moved indoors Monday due to dangerously cold temperatures projected in DC. Plans are underway to have Trump be sworn in inside the Capitol Rotunda and the parade potentially be held at the Capital One Arena.

[Tyler @theotherTA]

So in other words Mike Johnson will not commit to not cutting Social Security

[Jake Sherman @JakeSherman]

NEWS from me and @bresreports -- A lot of anxiety about the debt limit agreement construct -- a handshake agreement for $2.5T in mandatory savings for $1.5T in debt limit increase.

JOHNSON said in the meeting he and JD VANCE discussed having 220 Republicans sign a letter saying they would not cut Social Security.

JOHNSON said he wasn't sure whether that was the best way to do this.

This debt limit situation is such a mess.

[Tyler @theotherTA]

Why is the Republican position consistently “how dare you hold me accountable and tell people I’m lying” and not “maybe we should tell the truth?” Holding those in power accountable and being able to question them is fundamentally American

[Megyn Kelly @megynkelly]

F you CBS - how DARE YOU

[Tyler @theotherTA]

@HilltopHoops_ They shouldn’t be

[Tyler @theotherTA]

@AidanC_10 It may not/probably will not work out but there’s also no other likely path to a star player. Philly isn’t exactly a place stars have historically forced their way to and I don’t expect any high draft picks in the near future

[Tyler @theotherTA]

@AidanC_10 He hasn’t been. But some of those injuries are flukey - an orbital fracture for one. And yet he guts it out every time because he knows his team needs him and still looks like one of the best players if not the best on the court

[Tyler @theotherTA]

@AidanC_10 Absolutely not. Dude is playing through Bell’s Palsey on one “healthy” knee and one maybe semi-repaired knee as of like three weeks ago. He finally has a perfect complement to his game in Maxey

[Tyler @theotherTA]

Phillies fans who boo Rhys Hoskins should receive a lifetime ban from CBP

[Phillies Nation @PhilliesNation]

Rhys Hoskins expects to be booed at Citizens Bank Park… (via @FoulTerritoryTV)

[Tyler @theotherTA]

@HilltopHoops_ Literally as I read this my dad: “this Brumbaugh is really looking good. Seems to have a good handle and moves it well”

[Tyler @theotherTA]

@HilltopHoops_ Death. Taxes. Pat Driscoll screwing over Georgetown. Absolute embarrassment

[Tyler @theotherTA]

@saracarioscia Tell them halftime ended 23 (game) minutes ago

[Tyler @theotherTA]

@AidanCurran_ 😓 why must you rub it in

[Tyler @theotherTA]

Find you someone who loves you as much as Brian Johnson and Nick Sirianni love a useless WR screen
