So if no one changes their vote, what happens? Is it like a best of 7? 🤣 They keep voting until someone gets a majority of voice votes by name among those present So effectively it's how long can we go without half a legislature because that's absolutely what is happening.

Sharon McMahon said that this once (in the 1850s) took 2 months 😱😱😱 Much legislation. Such agenda.

Maybe the Dems can let them wear themselves out enough that the GQP passes out and then we get Speaker Jeffries. (daydreaming over here)

Personal opinion time….would this be better or worse than Kevin? It's a shit show either way. I have a visceral reaction to Gym's voice, face, and lack of sports jacket. Apparently he was actually wearing one yesterday. I couldn’t watch the coverage so I had no idea until I saw it on AOC’s insta story 😂 (But also Gym is the worst.)

This probably came from IG (I’m guessing, but I think she often goes live there? Is that a thing, I don’t really IG.) AOC addressing what MG and she were discussing. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRbbheqG/

Happy New Year, CE board. I'm delighted at how we're starting out. As luck would have it, my coworker brought in homemade popcorn today. Dance monkeys, dance.

So did anyone follow the shenanigans in the PA State House? Dems won 102-101 majority in the election, but because 3 members in safe D districts need to be replaced by special election (one passed away, one moved to Congress, and one moved to LT. Gov), the Rs technically had a majority on the floor yesterday. Rep. Joanna McClinton (D) was elected Speaker of the House, the first Black woman leader, and sworn in. In addition, Republicans separately swore in Bryan Cutler (R) as House Leader. Both sides argued that the other is invalid and this went to the courts which have not yet deliberated. Then, one of the Rs nominated Mark Rozzi (a "moderate" D) as a "compromise" candidate. Enough Ds (including McClinton) decided to just go along with it to elect him - allowing Democrats to move forward with the House majority but taking away power from the more progressive woman of color. However, as soon as Rozzi was elected, he went up and announced he was no longer a Dem but an "independent." www.spotlightpa.org/news/2023/01/pa-midterm-election-2022-house-majority-democrats-speaker-election/www.inquirer.com/politics/pennsylvania/mark-rozzi-democrat-elected-speaker-pennsylvania-house-20230103.html

This is local to my parents and a really fascinating case. Zheng has been very involved in the NY Capital Region community and is generally well-regarded, so a lot of people have spoken out in his behalf. But damn, the economic espionage is blatant.
