Uh oh! Republicans better be CAREFUL! He's in a Red District and After passing this HORRIBLE Bill you KNOW that his Seat will be in No Danger Whatsoever because Republicans would LITERALLY RATHER DIE then to not Vote Republican!
219-212. Oh boy that's close.
"What did you vote on today honey?"
I don't know, they just told me to vote yes so I did.
"Won't that hurt your constituents?"
They will still vote for me so long as I have the right letter next to my name, they haven't even realized I can't read yet.
So he stayed on just long enough to drop the biggest turd the Republicans have ever dropped, and then quit. What a massive fucking piece of shit.
Even if the House went back to Democratic control, I could still see plenty of Democrats fucking it all up as far as opposing anything from Taco and his crazy administration.
Or a bunch more randomly dying of old age because they refuse to retire. There's 3 open seats on the Dem side because of this.
Democrats aint getting back the Senate until 2029 January 3rd, because 2026 has only Maine's seat that is even plausible to get flipped, and its now a 53-47 majority, need like 3 more seats flipped at least. Appointments aint getting blocked and that's gonna be a 7-2/8-1/9-0 supreme court.
Honestly, I thought this would happen a few months ago. These people are legitimately scared for their lives, and they should be.
They did something fucking horrible for the people they are supposed to represent, and they know it.
We just saw political targeting of local reps in Minnesota and Michigan. No reason that ain't coming for your dumbass in one of the most armed places in the country.
Really that should 209-222 with the same 10 fucking democrats that keep voting for their own self interest through perks offered by the republicans. Stop giving false hope with that number.
Green initially indicated he would run for re-election, only to announce on February 14, 2024, he announced that he would retire from Congress. However, two weeks later, Green reversed course and said he would run for re-election in 2024.

It’s a two year term he was elected to last fall. I really hope that he can’t hold any political position for wasting his constituents’s time and money.
