WELKER: Do democratic socialists belong in the Dem Party? JEFFRIES: What I can say is I do not support defunding the police, I do not support open borders, I do not support abolishing the Senate. We're focused on actually solving the problems hard-working American taxpayer want us to solve ...

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

MAGA Mike Johnson's decision to oppose George Santos' expulsion is another reminder that Republicans think it's OK to lie, cheat and steal as long as they're the ones doing it.

The GOP:
— Driftglass, Guardian of Inconvenient History (@Mr_Electrico) October 20, 2023
Spent decades sowing the political landscape with mines to make it impossible for Democrats to govern.
Managed to step on every single one of them.
Now blames Democrats for not medivacking them out of the bombed-out political hellscape they created. https://t.co/aP1a2dfFrO
A sage Dem texts, basically: Repubs are gonna elevate a speaker who tried to overthrow the election and backs an abortion ban - the two issues we won on in 2022

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Mike Johnson attacks Roe v. Wade, insisting that if only women were compelled to bring more "able-bodied workers" into the world, Republicans wouldn’t need to slash Social Security and Medicare. pic.twitter.com/RGzg09TYEW

As chair of the RSC, Johnson spearheaded budgets resolutions that called for ~$2 trillion in cuts to Medicare, $3 trillion in cuts to Medicaid+ACA, & ~$750 billion in cuts to Social Security.

Relevant to Collins on Approps, he called to immediately cut NDD ~50%. Unfathomable. https://t.co/cCWF1L2Y2I
Republicans are going home for the weekend. Yes, after plunging the House into chaos and putting the American people through utter insanity, they’ve now dumped their candidate for Speaker and are going home for a rest. This is what Republicans do. They are unable to lead.

It seems entirely possible, if not probable, that not one person in the House Republican Conference can win the speakership with GOP votes only.

Are there not just five good, decent, patriotic Republicans in the House who could join with Democrats to elect a speaker who believes in democracy? Who would put country over party? Time for them to step up. We can’t have a lunatic insurrectionist 3rd in line to the presidency. https://t.co/8wP8oDdmgx

Until Republicans staff our military, allow an Ambassador to Israel to be appointed and elect a Speaker no one should listen to a single thing they say about the attack on Israel. https://t.co/StkZTesdiH
