This is like the slowest motion train wreck I’ve ever seen happen.


So what are the numbers now? 217-213, right?

Yup from Sahil Kapur NBC’s Hill guy:

House math

Ken Buck's last day is today: 218 Rs, 213 Ds

Mike Gallagher is leaving 4/19: 217 Rs, 213 Ds

That's a ONE-VOTE GOP majority. They cannot afford a second defection to pass measures without Democrats.

I thought when buck left the GOP had a majority of one?
But maybe that’s not correct.

Ken Buck said there were 3-4 leaving. I bet they conspired to leave strategically.

Bills that "pass" in the House but never make it beyond are largely performative BS with no bipartisanship. It's no way to govern. If you can't pass a bill through both chambers and get it signed by the President then you have FAILED.


Which begs the question: what are we paying them for?
