Well folks, MAGA Mike is bringing to the floor two CR's to be voted upon today. Why the CR needs to be split in two defies logic, but now we will have two separate deadlines on January 19th and February 2nd. And these two are clean CR's, the very same type that the Freedumb thugs gave McCarthy the boot. Since this requires a suspension of the House rules, a two thirds majority in the House is needed to pass, which means a majority of Dems and minority of the Republicans will vote to pass it, since most everyone in their conference is not very happy nor do some want to be seen siding with the Democrats. Doubt if even half the Repubs will vote for it.
Good news is that no funding for Israel in the CR, bad news is that none for Ukraine either. That will be another battle to be fought in the coming weeks.
Will they give MAGA Johnson the boot? Doubt it, not that some may not want to, but I expect they want to avoid a shit show like the last Speaker election. Or no one would want the job except for Gym Jordan.
