   Nothing to disagree with but the blame is on the whole institution not this current group of Republicans

     the amendment process is broken. speakers shouldn't have total control over which bills get a full house vote. omnibus bills suck. etc etc.

     Seems like #MikeJohnson is going to become #SpeakerOfTheHouse. This entire time, the Republican anti establishment movement seemed divided between whether they cared more about being hardcore conservative or making the process more transparent and accountable to voters. The former seems to have won. Returning the conversation to a culture war dialogue instead of a class war works for the Democratic party as well. Pathetic. They don't care about us. #ForceTheVote
