  1. The #Republicans that showed up to the #TrumpTrial today in Manhattan were *lawmakers* who are all about disrupting legislative business & have no issue w/embarrassing their own party on the #House floor. It included many #HouseFreedomCaucus members who have frozen the chamber for days on end, most recently voting down their party’s own rules as an act of *protest*.

    Idiots.

  2. #MitchMcConnell’s retirement from #Senate leadership will also mark the step back of an orderly counterpart to the tumultuous approach of #Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, and the hardline #HouseFreedomCaucus ahead of the Nov #election for president, the full #House of Representatives & a third of the Senate.

  3. #Republicans #fear they will be targets in #Trump’s ‘#retribution’ campaign
    
TFG is already attacking those who have endorsed his #GOP opponents or have crossed him in other ways

    Trump…has threatened to have #donors to his #Republican opponent #NikkiHaley “permanently barred” from his orbit. A top adviser has vowed to destroy the career of Rep #BobGood (R-VA), #HouseFreedomCaucus chairman, after he endorsed … #DeSantis.

  4. Congress votes keep government running; Salazar votes with Dems :

    To almost lose the majority of his conference underscores the challenges facing the new speaker and signals the difficulty he will have in striking a deal that will not alienate many of his GOP colleagues.

  5. Without additional funding now, the U.S. will have to delay or curtail air defense weapons, ammunition, drones and demolition and breaching equipment that are “critical and urgent now as Russia prepares to conduct a winter offensive.”

    President Biden said Sunday that while the aid will keep flowing for now, time is running out.

  6. #McCarthy is unlikely to bring the eventual #Senate proposal up for a vote because it would require #Democrat votes to pass, acc/to multiple #Republican aides…. Members on the #FarRight, including many within the staunchly #conservative #HouseFreedomCaucus, have said that relying on #Democrats to move the bill would probably result in a Republican lawmaker filing a motion to #remove McCarthy from his speakership.

  7. “The #Republican #MainStreetCaucus & the #HouseFreedomCaucus are working together in good faith to establish a plan to lower #spending, secure the #border, & avoid a #GovernmentShutdown,” Johnson & Bice, who chair the Main Street Caucus, said in a statement. “The talks have been productive & we’ll continue to work toward a deal.”

  8. Over the past several months, #Trump has kept a close watch on #HouseRepublicans’ momentum toward impeaching President #Biden. Trump has talked regularly by phone w/members of the #ultraconservative #HouseFreedomCaucus & other congressional #Republicans who pushed for #impeachment…. Trump has encouraged the effort both privately & publicly.

  9. ‘Shut it down’
    
Some #FloridaRepublicans also support demands from the #FarRight #HouseFreedomCaucus to attach other #conservative priorities to a short-term #funding bill to keep the #government running past Sept. 30.
    
In addition to “no blank check for #Ukraine,” the #FreedomCaucus is demanding more funding for #BorderSecurity, #cuts to the #DOJ & the #FBI, & an end to “#woke” policies at the #DOD.

  10. At least we now know the names, and from where the 20 U.S. representatives originate that are outright #obstructionists. Fourteen of twenty are members of the #HouseFreedomCaucus, and the rest are legacy #TeaParty sympathizers.
    They're from 14 states: three each from AZ, TX, and FL; and one each from NC, CO, OK, GA, VA, MD, SC, TN, PA, MT, IL. #McCarthy #Jeffries #Speaker
