I don't know why Representatives in purple districts didn't support Kevin McCarthy and send the radical segments of the party to corner for a time out. It's a way to stop this ridiculous partisanship.

Please help this man out, @DNC. Stand up to the #MAGA bullies and break that anti-Constitutional caucus's hold on the @GOP. Tell Gaetz, Comer, Greene and Boebert they aren't important.

Can't we make Congress do its job? Oh right. We don't vote in our own interests. Why would we expect the @GOP to work on behalf of their constituents?
