Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has voiced a number of complaints against Speaker Mike Johnson but has particularly focused on his decision to allow a vote on aid for Ukraine.
Any allegations that Greene is transparently working as a Russian agent are entirely unsubstantiated.
Apparently Anna Paulina Luna says if the motion to vacate hits the floor several Republicans will immediately resign, giving the house to the dems. Honestly, that’s probably the best thing the Republicans could do. The dems would have to pass legislation immediately enshrining reproductive rights into law or they’d look like chumps. That would energize the conservative base and depress the liberal vote. The Republicans intend to institute one party rule if they win the presidency and rule by fiat. If they have to accept six months of abortion being legal in order to go full Handmaid’s Tale, I think they would take that bargain.
It’s basically political fanfiction but imagine if what you say happens but the Democrats also expand the Supreme Court and pass new voting rights laws. They could guarantee Republicans lose and it wouldn’t even be unfair.
As soon as Dems gain control of the house, Joe Manchin and “independent” Sinema will peak their head to block anything and everything in senate. Those two assholes single handedly squandered every opportunity during 2021-22 when Dems had the trifecta.

There’s no way they’d expand the court. They don’t have the votes in the senate. Voting rights laws maybe but I wouldn’t count on it.
This.

If only people like them were subject to “official presidential duties”
Manchin is also retiring so you might be able to bribe him into voting for good stuff. Sinema will fuck us over just because though. It’s her kink.
Manchin has his post-Senate career ahead of him and he’s not going to throw that away just to help people.
Abortion protections will get blocked in the Senate, so the Dems will still have the issue to run on either way.
Please let this happen.
They won’t touch abortion. It is too useful for their elections at the moment. 😭
