House Votes to Censure Rashida Tlaib as 22 Democrats Help Republicans Pass Resolution

Twenty-two Democrats crossed the aisle to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) late Tuesday night. Four Republicans voted against the measure.

Mediaite

Kevin McCarthy : "What do I have to do to get to yes?"

House Trumpists: "We will require your heart, brain, self respect, first born, and your left kidney."

Two years ago today, thousands of Americans became insurrectionists & domestic terrorists in their attempt to overthrow a legal election. Many of those same #Insurrectionists are still in the #senate & the #houseofrepresentatives. What is 2023-2024 led by these insurrectionists going to look like? Only time will tell. #house #housevotes #January6th #donesticterrorists #senate #blackmastodon #politics

You know in the movies when there is a fight between a tough guy and a skinny little guy and the tough guy keeps pummeling the little guy, but he keeps getting back up? And it happens so many times that the crowd around the fight goes silent, and eventually even the tough guy feels pity for the wimp who won't give up and just walks away himself, maybe shaking his head?

Kevin McCarthy saw that and said, that is how I'll get my speakership.

Kevin #McCarthy on the effect losing 10 #HouseVotes has on his reputation:

I’m surprised how CNN mentioned Repubs nominating Steve Scalise but no one has done so after 9 rounds. Donalds, Trump, & Hern won’t get 218 votes & neither will McCarthy. Guess the Repubs like this merry-go-round of chaos. Not a good look for the country. #votes #house #housevotes #politics #kevinmccarthy #houseofrepresentatives #republicans #herewegoagain #blackmastodon
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing expecting a different result. #kevinmccarthy #votes #housevotes #houseofrepresentatives #lunacy #blackmastodon #republicans #politics
7 votes, 7 denials for speakership. When will McCarthy take one for the team & drop out? He’s given away any power he had anyway. Now we are at vote 8. Will this go into 9 innings like baseball? Our national security is at risk every day this chaos goes on. #mccarthy #votes #houseofrepresentatives #housevotes #republicans #speakerofthehouse

Aww... The Honorless Kevin #McCarthy doesn't have the #HouseVotes to be #Speaker. Very SAD!

Go with me here… what if delaying a whole 1/3 of our government is the point and not who’s speaker. I mean, these *are* the same people who tried to stop 2/3 of our government 2 years ago.
