"Donald Trump's 'do nothing Congress' is one of the least productive ever!"

#House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries is using the so-called "magic minute" to speak for as long as he wants during debate.
Also called the "leadership minute", it is a long-standing custom in the House that permits party leaders extended debate time on the floor.
The record for the "magic minute" is >8 hours set by then #Republican Min Ldr #KevinMcCarthy in 2021 when he gave a circuitous speech against Biden's $1.75T bill.
McCarthy broke Democratic congresswoman #NancyPelosi’s 2018 record.
#118congress failure #KevinMcCarthy, a frequent guest on #squakbox, does NOT want to talk about #bribery by #airplane, but that #tax plan is golden in his eyes.

#KevinMcCarthy: "If we see an #economy where the shelves are empty, the #American public will not be happy about that."
Kara Swisher: "He's not playing 4D chess, he's eating the chess pieces."

#BillMaher on #Trump's #tariffs: "I feel like he picked a fight with a bigger bully than him and that we don't have the leverage."
#KaraSwisher: "This has been a massive gift to #China because they can go around the world and make alliances."
Even #KevinMcCarthy can't defend it.
Deficit-minded #Republicans rejected the stopgap spending bill out of hand, since many of them will back only regular full-year appropriations measures.
And #HouseRepublicans’ personal rivalries surfaced again in a callback to the #funding debacle that a year ago ousted #MikeJohnson’s predecessor, #KevinMcCarthy, from the speakership.
Guess who is on #cnbc following #KevinMcCarthy this morning, first thing Monday?

Corporate is desperate for Trump to win. Be ready for the flood of nonsense.
#KevinMcCarthy on #cnbc this morning claiming #Trump would have won the electoral college in 2020 had he won #Georgia and #Pennsylvania.
In a tie of the EC, Congress decides the POTUS.
So throwing the election to Trump has always been the plan.
Now you know, he can't count.

Very awkward moment- Congressman Matt Gaetz tries to interrupt former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s interviews, taunting him “Hey Kevin, what night are you speaking?” via Joe Kahlil #rnc #rnc2024 #mattgaetz #kevinmccarthy #RNCinDisarray #gop #maga what amess .

#MattGaetz REFUSES to cooperate with committee investigating him for #rape
#SupremeCourt REFUSES to cooperate with the #Senate
#Trump REFUSED to cooperate with the #DOJ
#LeonardLeo REFUSES to corporate with DC AG
Notice how those telling #Black people to just comply never comply?!
Gaetz went on a furious vendetta to remove former Speaker #KevinMcCarthy, whom he deemed insufficiently supportive amid the #FBI’s investigation into his teen #SexTrafficking ring
The #GOP quest to hold #Garland in #contempt of #Congress for refusing to respond to a #subpoena was not dampened by any sense of irony, even though the #Judiciary Cmte is chaired by Rep #GymJordan. Jordan famously refused to comply w/requests from the House cmte investigating the #Jan6 #insurrection, alongside Reps #ScottPerry, #KevinMcCarthy, #AndyBiggs, & #MoBrooks.

A frustrated #MarjorieTaylorGreene took to #Xitter on Tues to attack her own party for failing to retaliate against former President #DonaldTrump's 34-count #FelonyConviction in #Manhattan.
This comes as the conspiracy-prone congresswoman, who was previously close to #GOP leadership when former Rep. #KevinMcCarthy was in control of the #House, is experiencing a growing rift with leadership under House #Speaker #MikeJohnson.
#KevinMcCarthy just said on CNN that voters don't care about democracy.
The #FarRight *lawmakers* won their seats on the #RulesCommittee as part of a deal made by fmr speaker #KevinMcCarthy, who haggled w/ #ultraconservatives opposing his leadership & only agreed to back him after he gave them critical leverage. They refused to support the measure to bring up the #aid package bc it wouldn’t allow a vote on #extremism #border security they prioritize over #Ukraine.
The #Republicans’ rebellion left #Democrats to bail out #MikeJohnson, so they can get something done.
#GeorgetownUniversity invited #KevinMcCarthy , the Bozo of #Bakersfield , to speak to students during an event labeled “How Strong Is Our Democracy”, but oddly it was *not* to be held on #AprilFools Day.

"House Speaker #MikeJohnson has been on the job for barely more than 100 days, but he has already accomplished the impossible. He has made #KevinMcCarthy look like a legislative genius.
The #Louisiana #Republican has amassed a record of #failure and dysfunction in just three months that his predecessor labored for nine months to achieve."
