“We cannot have a Republican speaker of the House that is willing to do the bidding of Chuck Schumer, handing over the gavel to him, and letting him pass the Schumer House bill on the floor, and not allowing any of us Republicans to do our jobs. Speaker Johnson, who has barely been a speaker for six months, led us …

“If you’re wondering why you’re trying to negotiate against Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden, it’s because Republicans can’t pick the right candidate and they can’t win elections. And now the margin is, what, razor thin in the House. They’re on the verge of losing the House. “You want to see a bad budget bill? Let the Democrats control the House, …

“If you step back and look, we are in divided government and we have some individuals that just don’t seem to get it. You know, I have a great relationship with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Her office is right next to mine. But you know, we can’t get 100% of what we want. “Also, just sadly enough, I just got a …

“God help us. The House Republican majority is a dysfunctional embarrassment. I mean, Speaker Johnson didn’t ask for this job. He stepped up when the House couldn’t elect a replacement for Kevin McCarthy. He’s trying to manage an unmanageable conference. “Republicans need to understand that they control one half of one branch of government and now they’re gonna control it …

“We shouldn’t underestimate how bad what Matt Gaetz did was for the whole system. He unleashed the demons. He went after somebody who had raised $480 million dollars and gained seats for three elections in a row. He drove Kevin McCarthy out of office. And from that point on, it has been a disaster. “Speaker Johnson has a hand that’s …

From the Family Research Council’s website: These recent ads — cast in the vein of a social media influencer — involve Noem herself as a pitchwoman, and it’s not a good look. The chief executive of a state is hawking dentists, coffee shops, and shoe inserts. Even if the endorsements are determined to be legal, they’re certainly a conflict of …

The Colorado Sun reports: Rep. Ken Buck vehemently denied Thursday that his decision to resign from Congress before the end of his term was aimed at making it harder for Lauren Boebert to take over his 4th Congressional District seat as she and others have suggested. “It’s ridiculous,” Buck told The Colorado Sun.

“The uni-party is trying to do everything that they can to stop my candidacy to rig the election in Colorado. And, you know, this is breaking news as of yesterday. Ken Buck’s announcement yesterday was a gift to the uni-party. “The establishment concocted a swampy backroom deal to try to rig an election. An election that I’m winning by 25 …

Mediaite reports: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) slammed right-wing social media influencer Libs of TikTok for “lying” about a Sunshine State law on Wednesday, accusing the account of sacrificing “truth” in order to “generate clicks and engagement farm.” “Apparently FL also gives illegals drivers licenses!

Posted to Family Research Council’s website: If Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) had his eyes on higher office, his decision Friday almost certainly put those dreams out of reach.

“That’s just reality, they’re foreigners and they’re not good foreigners. They’re bad people. Trump, because Trump is ascendant. MAGA is ascendant. You don’t see Fox attacking Nikki at all. You certainly don’t see them attacking her positions as positions that are stone-cold losers. “Why? Because it’s their positions. They are neo-liberal neocons. They fully support the concentration of wealth in …

The Virginia Scope reports: Rep. Bob Good, R-VA05, was forced to leave an event in his district over the weekend where Republicans gathered to support Donald Trump.

Politico reports: For nine months in his speakership, Kevin McCarthy seemed like a man with a title but no power — desperately improvising to keep his job amid factions ready to turn on him in an instant.
