U.S. Politics: The Biggest Trade in WNBA History

And now Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin has decided he's out in April. The way he decided to schedule his resignation means that there won't be a special election to replace him. And now the GOP majority is getting even narrower.

The resignation means that after New York’s 26th district elects its Democratic representative on April 30, the House composition will be 217R-214D from then until May 21 when California’s 20th district’s election to replace Kevin McCarthy takes place.

Mentioned this because Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to remove Mike Johnson today. If she were to file a privileged motion between April 30 to May 21, and just one more Republican agrees, he’ll go the way of Kevin McCarthy.

McCarthy decided to leave after the ousting of his Speakership, it's independent of his status as Speaker itself. If Johnson is ousted, there's nothing saying he won't be able to remain as a House Rep.

Buck mentioned that there was around 3 others who would be leaving after him, supposedly, and Gallagher is the first. This same day, Kay Granger (R-Texas), stepped down as Chair of Appropriations. Chair committee roles are not roles given lightly nor quickly, and Granger herself is 81 years old. She may be leaving next.

Yeah. I think she's gonna be gone too. She already said she wasn't running for another term like Buck and Gallagher did before they announced they were calling it quits. We might actually have a Dem majority House for a few weeks if enough Republicans resign.

I meant to say in the previous post that Johnson would go the way of McCarthy when it came for the speakership, not when it came to leaving the House outright. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I also have Kay Granger on the resignation watch list, and am curious on how that goes as well.

Jesus Christ. The orange pervert got the bond cut by more than half. New York’s courts should not have made whatever deal they made with this animal to do this. At all.

No average citizen would ever get this kind of treatment. If anyone else tried this, the courts would have begun seizing said defendant’s properties, which they absolutely should have done with this bastard. This ruling is providing yet another powerful reason on how courts are soft on White Collar crime by the ultra wealthy.

And people wonder why it is widely believed that there is a double standard that favors the rich and bigots. :mad:

My honest guest, Trump's team has dirt on a lot of people.

Many of the folks who are against Trump now were friends/partners of his in the 80s and 90s. Given Trump was engaging in criminal activity this whole time, it's quite likely both judges and members of Congress helped him do it.

Joe Lieberman is now dead. Certainly not someone who I had on my 2024 death watch list.

He is best known for being the reason why America doesn’t have universal healthcare since he insisted that that he would kill Obamacare unless the public option was dropped from it back when it was crafted in 2009.

Oh, and many liberals in 2000 were alienated when he was chosen as Al Gore’s VP pick. So he was one of the reasons why America got stuck with the monstrosity that was Bush II for 8 years.
