“If we can’t do something as simple and as obvious as protect democracy abroad, we don’t deserve the majority. In one generation from the party of Reagan that defeated communism to the party of fucking stupid,” one GOP aide texted me this AM, after Massie made his announcement
Ron Wyden opens today's Senate Finance Committee hearing by addressing objections to Direct File. "Anyone who denies that the Direct File pilot is a huge success my guess is, is just living in another universe." My story on competing views on the pilot: washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…
This looks nice.
Yeah, this “flier” found mysteriously posted inside a port-a-potty has quite literally the exact Google Translate result you get if you feed it the English paragraph of RCM’s legal assistance page, with “migrants should vote for Biden” stapled on at the end. Color me suspicious.

MORE via @MZanona Massie was booed by his Republican colleagues after he made this announcement, per one of the sources, and then Rep. Trent Kelly stood up and criticized Massie, saying it’s “wrong” to not back the speaker.

As @AnthonyMKreis points out, “default rule is compulsory attendance and the arrest warning is standard.” @rparloff tells me that the purpose of that warning in to let the defendant know that if he absconds, the case can go on w/out him and when he’s caught he won’t get a do-over
@KDbyProxy Relatedly, I think there's a lot of potential in 'special rule' vs 'special order of business', if the House wanted to invent some kind of distinction between the two. (I much prefer 'special order of business', but I mostly use 'rule' so that people don't think I'm a nerd. 🙃)
@ClayTravis @sagesteele Are any prominent people actually expressing disapproval over this? Your article quotes one tweet from an account with 90 followers.

What Speaker Johnson is envisioning appears to be very similar to what Nancy Pelosi did when she brought an Iraq War funding bill to the House floor in 2007; the House adopted a special rule combining the text of multiple bills as amendments, one of which raised the minimum wage…
How did the deal become dead, @nytimes? Who made it unravel? It takes until the 5th graph in this @SangerNYT piece before it is mentioned that it was Trump’s unilateral decision to pull out of it, betraying every ally who had helped to negotiate it.

@mjs_DC A better question is -would pulling a fire alarm during a supreme court, hearing be the same as charging into a Supreme Court hearing with weapons? And rampaging through the Supreme Court building for multiple hours.
April 16, 1924: Denmark issues the first European coins with holes in the middle, a style China has long used to allow the pieces to be carried on strings. Denmark made its design choice so that alloy coins, with holes, are easier to distinguish from silver coins without them.
Dem whip Durbin says discussions are underway about this…
News: Sen. Romney says he’d like there to be some debate on the Mayorkas impeachment either in committee or in full Senate “just simply tabling without any discussion would create a precedent that an impeachment from the house could just summarily be tabled” by opposite party
Live look at the Congressional GOP.
First take: It’s hard to count to five, particularly w/ three (or more) positions percolating throughout the arguments in Fischer v. US. Prelogar is unreal, both with recall and argument. And yet, the government could face, at least, a narrowing of the reach of the law at issue.
There's the potential for a lot of political chaos in the House this week, but let's all keep our eyes on the ball: the Senate swears in for an impeachment trial tomorrow, which means they all have to sign their names on camera and we can update our count of left-handed senators.
Rules with a single disfavored bill are going down but Johnson wants try a rule with 4 bills HFC will hate? There’s either a deal with Democrats to move these or it’s fig leaf to defense hawks.
🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS from me and @bresreports House Republicans plan to try to pass four bills this week to send aid to Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan, according to four sources familiar with the plan. The fourth bill will include a ban on TikTok, a bill to sell of seized Russian…
Paul Rabil, the highest-compensated lacrosse player in history, is estimated to have a net worth of about $5 million. Roughly all of that came from endorsements, because he never earned more than $30k a year on the field.
It almost makes sense that on the day that Republicans would like attention about Mayorkas / impeachment / the border, the House GOP is again fighting about removing their own party's Speaker.
Discussing passage of the special rule is purely hypothetical until we know it can/will be reported from the Rules Committee. Roy, Norman, and Massie are the pivotal players right now barring a bipartisan coalition in the Rules Committee - which hasn't been seen in decades.
House GOP very likely won’t have the votes among just Rs to approve the rule to take up the foreign aid package. That means Johnson will have to rely on Dems. But the text of the plan has not been released, so House Democrats are still weighing whether to bail out Johnson. Dems…
@KDbyProxy I agree that that would be usual, but he also prefaced his motion with 'If there is no further business to come before the Senate'.
RX The same could be said for ‘Spike Lee Joints’ but shouldn’t. Both of these directors created movies about their experience, which is why their films were wildly popular with their audiences. Diversifying them would dilute their authenticity.
Really think @BidenWarRoom should start calling him #SleepyDon
Trump's eyes are closed once again. Surely this won't help the sleep allegations.
Well, some 10 minutes later, that 9:30 a.m. "sharp" is now just an aspirational memory. Standby.
Trump had every right to file all the motions he filed to try to dismiss or delay his trial. And here he is now, as a result.
.@qjurecic rightly points out to me that these rules exist to protect a defendant's right to hear the case against them, confront witnesses, etc. But Trump is kind of turning that on its head by implying in this post and others that it’s unfair for Merchan to require his presence
