Can't believe I just missed another failed rule vote AND another successful discharge petition. What a time to be alive in the U.S. House of Representatives

Was with you guys in spirit but shockingly (for me) offline! Sounds like it wasn't boring

Apologies, this is why we have to check notes- while I was out on paternity leave Kevin Kiley (R-CA) *left the Republican Party, the correct tally should be 217 R - 214 D - 1 I.

*im still catching up but it seems like this is a gimmick and Kiley is still a House Republican in all but name

CA14 (Swalwell)

Per whip notice, Rep.-elect Analilia Mejia (D-NJ) will be sworn in tonight, which will bring the party breakdown in the House to [actually checks notes] 217 R - 214 D.

A big shout out to everyone who helps bring people into the world- the OB-GYNs, nurses, pediatricians, and all the other medical people and hospital staff — you do so much!

I’ll be taking a break from my day job (and posting) for a while to spend time with our baby daughter.

House Guy —> Dad Guy

It’s registered, but what are we going to do about the nose thing. I’m shook

Dianna I have not seen this headline before and yeah, wtf is my question also

The old “can’t back up the thing I said so switching to an ad hominem” routine, we know it well

lol guilty as charged

I think if you look at the numbers on this and conclude the Democrats are the problem you should maybe look at it again?

And a lot of comments saying it was "just enough" Dems crossing to defeat it. This is not true, "just enough" would have been 1. The whipping brought people into the YES column, not the other way around, you can watch it happen in real time on the House clerk's video feed

No, he is a Senator until he's confirmed. Acting titles only go to Senate-confirmed nominees which he is not

They haven't said any such thing and they aren't going to fund it either

If you google his positions on foreign affairs and in particular the Middle East and Israel I think you will see a larger pattern with which this vote is consistent

Confirming the reported vote split above- these were indeed the crosses. Vote sheet here: clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/rol...

Confirming the reported vote split below- these were indeed the crosses. Vote sheet here: clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/rol...

Are you familiar with him or hearing his name for the first time? If you're familiar it's not a huge shock

Most people who see this are going to readily understand who is for the war and who is against it, which is a good thing

Meant to say "arguing with the noes" sorry that's my bad. You spend a few years in the minority and you get used to voting no a lot

Yeah you're right, I'm just used to us always voting no lol

It took 216 votes to get a majority here. 215 Republicans voted no and I personally think they don't deserve to get away with that

She voted yes.

People in my mentions blaming Jeffries and Pelosi for defections, and you shouldn't. Both whipped hard for yes on this, Pelosi was personally arguing with yesses on the floor until the vote closed. If you were following this previously, you'll see that some who had said they were voting no flipped

No

The House just defeated the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution on Iran.

Crosses, reportedly, were-
R's voting yes: Massie, Davidson (R-OH)
D's voting no: Golden, Landsman, Cuellar, Vargas

You're G-D right he does

There's a rational temptation in these moments to ask if what follows will be worse, and to let concern temper happiness.

My two cents and experience from Trump's first term is it's important and good to celebrate victories when you get them. Kristi Noem is truly awful, we should be glad she's out
