Jake Sherman:

FWIW -- Some new reporting

1) There are NO PLANS at all for #House Republican Conference meeting. Leadership thinks it would be counterproductive. smaller meetings, sure. but not a conference meeting

2) No plans to keep House in over the weekend right now.

#McCarthy #GOPfail

2/ Sherman:

most of the key dissenters -- Gaetz, Perry, Good, Rosendale, Biggs -- are talking at the back fo the chamber. They have been in covos throughout the vote series

3/ MacFarlane:

More lengthy 1-on-1 floor conversations between Rep-elect George Santos and Matt Gaetz

Rep Tom Cole (R-OK) .. who yesterday motioned to adjourn the proceedings …. has just returned to House floor. And positioned himself in seat near front of House Chamber

@GottaLaff Matt ask Santos out on a date
@GottaLaff Santos sorting himself in with the other sociopaths?
@GottaLaff they are a collection of clowns who have no interest in governing! #GOP #GOPDumpsterFire
@Ecthompsonmd Clowns are amusing and entertaining. These are not clowns. They're terrorists.

@GottaLaff I'm searching for the right word. Terrorists have a plan. They have a goal. Maybe terrorists is the best word. These guys clearly don't want to govern. They have no idea how to negotiate. Their demands to never raise the debt ceiling are unrealistic and stupid.

No one who is serious about compromise makes a deal then says oh, by the way, we also want...

@Ecthompsonmd They don’t negotiate. They claim to, but lie and do as you said: Oh by the way… It’s all about $ and power. Period. They want a ChristoFascist power grab.
@GottaLaff Looking forward to seeing lots of "You can't negotiate with terrorists" memes.
@GottaLaff @Ecthompsonmd one can only imagine the similarities between this and the end of the Roman empire senate
@GreetingsOut @GottaLaff Wonder if the Roman Empire has Fox News! 😂
@Ecthompsonmd @GottaLaff
Heralds (I almost said scribes, but they’re not that good)

@GottaLaff

Gaetz: " As soon as classes end tomorrow we're going to get super laid for this, guys. "

Perry:

Good:

Rosendale:

Biggs:

@GottaLaff That bunch couldn't decide who bought the last round of beers.
@GottaLaff with out a speaker, who makes the decision to work over the weekend or not?
@Abenco The person in charge is Ms. Johnson. The House can still vote on if they stay or leave.
@GottaLaff ok, I thought all house officers lost positions in-between Congresses. Such an interesting and arcane thing to witness.

@GottaLaff

Just read the following on Wikipedia.

In the 19th century, the power of the preceding House Clerk to organize the House played a significant role at the beginning of several congresses...at the first meeting of the 26th Congress...House Clerk Hugh Garland omitted the names of five Whigs from New Jersey from the roll call...the Whigs were not seated, effectively creating a Democratic majority in a closely divided House. Only then was the roll call completed and a Speaker elected

@GottaLaff What's keeping Ms. Johnson from doing the same today?
@GottaLaff This is all very disturbing.
We do not have a full functioning Govn't right now & I have to wonder if it's not intentional?
