House conservatives sink vote on advancing Pentagon funding bill

House conservatives sink vote on advancing Pentagon funding bill
Hardline conservatives in the House sank a procedural vote on a Pentagon funding bill Tuesday, a significant setback for Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
Five Republicans joined Democrats in voting against the rule for the appropriations bill, bringing the final vote to 212-214 — short of the majority support needed.



The slow motion coup d'etat continues...






The World Is A Safer Place Without Republicans

Schumer Calls McCarthy A Chaotic Pussy, But Not Quite In Those Words.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) stepped up his war of words Tuesday with House Republicans ahead of a potential government shutdown, accusing Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) of allowing “chaos” to reign in the lower chamber by letting a small group of conservatives drive much of the spending debate.  


















Damnit, everyone please stop trying to put a time limit on abortion because you think it sounds more reasonable.
Voluntary abortions happen early, as soon as a woman knows she's pregnant. Late term abortions are almost ALWAYS medical emergencies, & banning them means we die.
