Two freshman House Republicans say their willing to end-run their party’s leadership and working with Democrats to fund the government – as their conference is locked in an internal stalemate threatening to shut down the government.
Reps. Marc Molinaro and Mike Lawler, who both represent New York’s Hudson Valley-area districts that voted for President Joe Biden in 2020, said they’re willing to consider using a “discharge petition” to force votes on a short-term funding bill.
The rarely used legislative maneuver allows lawmakers to force a vote on legislation even if the House speaker doesn’t want to bring it up for a vote.
However, the measure requires signatures from a majority of the chamber and must sit in a committee for at least 30 legislative days – which means it cannot prevent a shutdown at the end of September.

Yes, the example I was thinking of too. By voting in democrat primaries maybe we could get rid of some of the radicals and crooked old fossils that have taken over.

The sooner the better.
Lobbyists hoist another big sold flag.
Call it the American Party!
Is Mark related to Susan Molinaro?
Or take over the (I) - Constitution Party, drop the GOP, and promote Trump as its candidate. I've changed party affiliation to (I) to remove myself as a political target after the election we are bound to lose. Especially if they bring the National Preemptive Emergency Cellular Network into play again.
Congress raised the spending so it would be the baseline in the future. All about their pet projects while destroying the economy.
Why we have massive inflation and high prices.
In 2019, Congress spent $4.4 trillion, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said.
In 2023, the federal government is expected to spend $6.3 trillion.
This was going to happen all along. Both parties want it. Some pretend to fight it but that’s only to insure that BOTH parties remain in positions of influence.
