"With such a tiny majority, all it would take is a tiny number of Republicans to decide ... they want to go and leave immediately," one expert said.
ℹ Folks, it struck me this afternoon that the really big story is the #GOP / #Republican party imploding - The #MikeGallagher resignation as a proof point
Reasonable people are being asked by #Trump and #MAGA to do things that are unethical, and immoral and un-American
Fundraising is drying up, the #RNC has been taken over in something that resembles a mob bust out of a business, #Trump has demanded that we abandon a democratic ally who we were pledged to defend ⏩
Oh the irony 🤔
Lawmaker Who Led TikTok Ban Bill Joins Private Surveillance Firm
“REPUBLICAN REP. #MIKEGallagher, who led the charge on a bill that could effectively ban #TikTok within the country — on the basis that #China can “surveil its users” — plans to take up a post with the #American #surveillance company and defense contractor #Palantir, Forbes reported.”

#Republicans in #Congress continue sprinting for the exits.
Rep #MikeGallagher (R-Wisconsin) announced on Fri afternoon that he would resign from Congress months earlier than expected on April 19, bringing the already minuscule Republican #majority down to a lonely 1 vote.
After his departure next month, Republicans will control 217 #House seats to the #Democrats’ 213

“Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., who announced last month he would not run for re-election, will resign from Congress early, he confirmed in a statement Friday.
Gallagher’s departure before the end of his term in January is another blow to Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Republicans, who have been struggling to govern and demonstrate stability this Congress.”
