CNN is reporting that Emmer has dropped out of the speaker race. Someone just posted "if you're in line for Speaker of the House, please remain in line." 😆

He didn't even last a Scaramucci There are 66 Emmers in a Scaramucci. If anything, Trump and the GQP brought us some delightful new units of measurement.

coconutbacon, I was actually coming to post about it. Even in the year of rapid intensification, no one saw this coming. Everything about it has been blowing my mind, and with the geography of the area, just going to higher ground is not simple. Expected to land as a TS. Capital Weather Gang has been following it with a lot of good info too. Won't paste every tweet.

Waiting on this vote is like watching an out of control train steaming towards disaster knowing you can’t do anything to stop it. I have a really bad feeling about how this is going to turn out. Spoiler: it’s going to be really bad.

Spoiler: it’s going to be really bad. I'm employing magical thinking and focusing on a scenario where the GOP keeps on being a complete clown show to the point that some members just don't show up and the Dems are able to vote in Hakeem Jeffries instead. ✨️

Or that 4 or 5 (?) R’s were visited by the 3 ghosts of democracy past present & future last night a la Scrooge and find their human moral compass (for lack of a better description)

And during the "impeachment " hearing they kept making Lauren Bowbert ask how she was recorded like 8 times bc they didn't have the votes on various motions raised by Dens became they want to impeach Joe Biden, but not enough to actually attend the hearing
