According to Breitbart, Steve Scalise (R-LA) is the driving force behind the twenty-two RINOs who have prevented Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) from clenching the House Speakership after two rounds of votes. Trump-endorsed Jordan is the clear choice of grassroots conservatives. A top House GOP aide reported, “[Constituents] are literally melting the phone lines. Some offices’ numbers are permanently busy. Thousands and thousands of people are calling their members of Congress demanding Jordan for Speaker.”

In fact, thirteen of the twenty-two holdout RINOs also accepted donations from Ryan Salame – almost all of them maximum donations.
The RINOs who accepted these funds include Kay Granger (TX-12th), Mike Simpson (ID-2nd), Carols Gimenez (FL-28th), Jen Higgins (VA-2nd) , Marinette Miller-Meeks (IA-2nd), Mike Lawler (NY-17th), Steve Womack (AR-3rd), Mike Kelly (PA-16th), Mike Simpson (ID-2nd), Mario Diaz-Balart (FL-26th), Linda Chavez-Deremer (OR-5th), Andrew Garbarino (NY 2nd), Tony Gonzales (TX-23rd), and John Rutherford (FL-5th).

Steve.....save your good reputation and all the good will. You have amassed, and STOP THIS MADNESS!
The GOP needs to come to an end. The $$$ need to stop flowing. The votes need to end. But no, we keep voting for the same garbage year after year, because somehow, they are “better” than the left, or some such bovine scatology.
The corruption is so deep that I believe it’s intractable. Let it all collapse so we can rebuild.
that's for sure.
Check
Republicans have been getting cheated and screwed by illegal mail in ballots but Americans having
honest and clean elections is less important than foreign military aid giveaways. Why is that?
In cockamamie “Bidenland”......anything goes these days.
There are two Mike Simpsons in Indiana?
All those corrupt bought and paid for DC RINO’s Must be voted out.

BTTT
Looks like Idaho above. Not seeing any Indiana hold outs.
That is some serious ‘small change’ listed. Ain’t no politician dancing at that level
Consider this simpler, less exciting explanation for at least some of them:
Republicans in competitive districts fear that Jordan will push a conservative agenda that will occasion media agitprop and stir up the left and “moderates”, leading to Republicans losing tight races, and the House majority. They personally benefit from a rope-a-dope Speaker, while Jordan, or any conservative firebrand Speaker, threatens their tenure.
Thanks
You don’t understand the process. FTX used mules to funnel hundreds of small donations to each congressman. Read the links in the primary article, including those from O’Keefe.
A political operative who runs former Vice President Mike Pence’s super PAC and managed Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s campaign is undermining Republican nominee for Speaker, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH).
Bobby Saparow, called “Pence’s sledgehammer” by Politico and a “senior advisor to Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-GA)” by Axios, told Axios,
“Jim Jordan’s suit coat has a better shot of being worn for 3 hours than Jim does of getting Drew’s vote for Speaker”.
Ferguson is supporting Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) for Speaker. Scalise won the first ballot for the GOP’s Speaker nomination but failed to receive a majority of support from the conference’s voting members and withdrew before even seeking a vote on the House floor after failing to see a path toward winning the necessary 217 votes.
As we face what is possibly the most dangerous threat to our country since the Cuban missile crisis, our government is made up of entirely unserious people
They're soulless opportunists that are only interested in enriching themselves.
Unless something changes, this won't end well.
We need to come to an agreement that voting is not going to get us back the Republic. Take this as you wish, but you cannot vote yourself out of a Dictatorship, and that is what the US is, not what it is becoming.
Maxine Waters rec’d $7,900-8k
When it went public about who got what ( cant locate the list) and SHE KNEW she should never have taken the $$’s because it was made SO public SO Fast & thats how fast she “donated / re-gifted” it to _____.
From this example I see Maxine ( including her husband)who plays the “ long game, a little at a time game” , ever moving, ever so incrementally;including her current address which isnt even her district.
stealing, lying, confabulating, etc, idnt really wrong in her eyes, its just a little at a time because_ you knooooww...
“its never really missed over time, people forget”
I’m late to getting to FR today (as usual...). Yesterday I read Jim Jordan would be giving a speech in the morning, today. Have you run into it?
At least the corrupt criminals have exposed themselves.
