Nearing the 100-day benchmark, Republicans have few achievements As House Republicans prepare to celebrate 100 days in power, the GOP has no real legislative plans, no budget, weak leadership, and key internal divisions. As 2022 came to a close, House Republicans weren’t quite sure who their speaker would be — Kevin McCarthy was still looking for votes at the time — but House Majority Leader Steve Scalise was nevertheless optimistic about the GOP’s legislative prospects. On Dec. 30, the Louisianan sent members a list of “meaningful, ‘ready-to-go’ legislation” that the chamber would take up early in the new Congress. By the end of this week, the House Republican majority will reach the 100-day benchmark this week, and of the 11 “ready-to-go” bills the House majority leader touted, five haven’t yet passed. Of the six proposals the GOP did pass, not one has become law — and the odds of these measures generating serious attention in the Democratic-led Senate are effectively zero. Late last week, the Pew Research Center published the results of its latest national survey, which showed President Joe Biden struggling with a low 37% approval rating. Congressional Democrats were even less popular, with a 33% approval rating. But congressional Republicans were even further back, with a 29% approval rating. If GOP leaders expect that number to improve anytime soon, they should probably lower their expectations.
‘Stunned’ House Republicans Blast McCarthy following NYT Leak Simmering tensions among House Republicans flared anew over the weekend, following a New York Times report that detailed how Kevin McCarthy’s (R., Calif.) bitterly contested speakership battle has undermined his confidence in colleagues. While it took McCarthy a historic 15 ballots to secure the position through January’s chaos and infighting, the speaker reportedly remains particularly frustrated by certain Republicans — including Jodey Arrington (R., Texas) and Steve Scalise (R., La.), the budget committee chairman and House majority leader, respectively. “Mr. McCarthy has told colleagues he has no confidence in Mr. Arrington, the man responsible for delivering a budget framework laying out the spending cuts that Republicans have said they will demand in exchange for any move to increase the debt limit,”
This was to be expected. McCarthy will go down in history as one of the least effective Speakers while Pelosi is already looked at one of the most. This Republican caucus is primarily about chaos and much of the membership doesn’t appear to have any interest in governing.
They spend their time moaning and complaining about everything and do nothing to fix or change anything, this is your gop party.
Why does the GOP put these fringe extremist in positions of power? Have they not learned anything over the past few elections? Tenure of new Michigan GOP chair who spread Beyoncé paganism conspiracy theory is off to a rocky start Karamo has claimed in the past that Beyoncé was secretly recruiting Black Americans to Paganism through a new album; that “demonic possession is real” and transferred via “intimate relationships”; and that acceptance of gay and transgender Americans will lead to the acceptance of pedophilia. She has said that the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement are “Marxist witches”; that the theory of evolution is “one of the biggest scams ran on us in human history”; and that doing drugs is “witchcraft.” She has compared abortion to Pagan child sacrifice. In the past, Karamo has also compared the media to Nazi Germany, saying media rhetoric about Republicans will lead to them being rounded up, killed and put in concentration camps. A proud anti-vaxxer, Karamo has also said she doesn’t believe in vaccines – saying she won’t vaccinate her children and has only taken one vaccine herself. After losing every statewide office and full control of the state government for the first time in nearly 40 years, Michigan Republicans elected Karamo – who made these comments and many others within the last few years – as their new state party chairwoman and the first Black person to lead the state party. Karamo, an election denier who believes the 2020 presidential race was stolen, has also refused to concede her own 2022 race for Michigan Secretary of State, which she lost by 14 percentage points – the most lopsided loss of any statewide candidate last year. more at the link https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/11/politics/kfile-michigan-gop-chair-kristina-karamo-comments/index.html
They'd rather have their base tweet out conspiracies like @Commodore @Astrodome rather than read nd be independently aware of the facts. Sad that they're coming after education as hard as they are.
"Missouri House budget committee leader Rep. Cody Smith (R-Carthage) proposed cutting library aid due to a recent lawsuit filed against the state last February. The lawsuit — filed by the ACLU of Missouri on behalf of the Missouri Association of School Librarians and the Missouri Library Association — seeks to declare Senate Bill 775 unconstitutional, a bill that has resulted in over 300 books getting banned from school libraries, many of which include LGBTQ characters or racial justice themes." Basically, Missouri House Republicans have chosen to take away access to the library from everyone rather than bring back books they don't like. I've seen this behavior before during the Jim Crow period when lawmakers would rather deny services to everyone than allow black people to share services with white people.

By people, you mean Republicans. The party has changed to such an extreme it's become dangerous. I would have never guessed that I would see politicians try and defund libraries in my lifetime. Then again, the Republican party is more about pushing guns than literacy these days. Bullets and guns, bullets and guns. Freedom to carry, but no freedom to read what you want to. Freedom to arm up, but we will not allow you to read at the government's expense. Buy your own books. We don't care about promoting literacy. It doesn't put money in our filthy pockets.
Yes. And if you still vote for these people after the past few years, I don’t know how you look in the mirror.
