House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) abruptly canceled all votes for the remainder of the week, halting progress on critical conservative legislation—including the SAVE Act and measures to rein in rogue judicial activism—despite having full authority to keep the House in session.
The move comes after a humiliating defeat on the House floor Tuesday when Johnson attempted to torpedo a controversial rule that would allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely.
Luna, who’s been locking horns with Johnson over this, celebrated the outcome as a “historical day,” crowing that “parents deserve a voice in Washington.”
Teaming up with Rep. Brittany Pettersen (D-Colo.)—who paraded her baby on the House floor Tuesday—the duo managed to rally 218 signatures, including 11 Republicans, to force the issue via a discharge petition.

Maybe Johnson is keeping his distance from Luna, she, who holds the “power” of the Mom on a Mission.
Thank God....no.
Women. Home or Church only.
Any men parade their baby through the House?
The unblemished perpetual House GOP circle jerk MUST be protected...
I preferred the days when people actually had to show up for work. Proxy voting is a horrible idea.
How long before some Democratic guy declares his pregnancy to proxy vote, or a gal claims her partner is pregnant, so not to discriminate, she can proxy vote. I guessing <24 hrs.
IIRC daycare is Provided in almost every federal building in DC... if not ALL Federal buildings.
The revenge of the 19th Amendment. This idiocy and Wisconsin foreshadowing bad Midterm vibes.
We have the majority and have yet to pass one damn bill with trumps agenda so again the gop is useless
I am absolutely furious with Luna. For her to lead such a show of party indiscipline right in front of the democrats, and actually, before the whole world, is totally unforgivable. There is no excuse for what she did, especially given the onslaught that MAGA has received from many directions.
What was she thinking! She, and the Republicans who gathered around her?!? How could they have pulled this $hit, and pulled it at a time like this??!! I hope and pray their constituents find great candidates right away for primaries. Luna and her RINO minions are not serious MAGA people, and they don’t have what it takes to match up against democrat party unity. Bunch of RINO b@stards! It reminds me of the time the “Weeper of the House” and China Mitch dismantled the incoming Tea Party tsunami. Those new Congressmembers fell one by one - only a few stayed strong.
I back Johnson. He knows what he’s talking about. I am so mad. From now on, I’m going to refer to Luna as “Little Zelensky.”
I agree, this is just beyond stupid. I thought Luna was going to be great, she seemed very intelligent and pro MAGA. After this silly stunt, not so much. We are in a death battle for our country, we have less than two years to make huge progress or the dems will undermine everything at midterms, and she pulls this ridiculous garbage! I’m so angry. We don’t have time to be wasting on frivolous stunts! This is so unimportant .
Thank you! It’s like she has some Amy Coney type “Girl Power” attitude going on here. The bunch of them are either stupid blind as to the ramifications of their actions, or they’re performing a little belligerent act against “Papa Trump.”
We are not mind readers as to these RINOs motivations and ultimate desired outcomes, but Chucky Schumer knows what it all means in the real world: President Trump is not their de facto leader. The only thing we can do at this point is pray, and see what happens next. Let everyone go home and face their people.
Johnson may have wanted to secure the two seats in Florida. Passing MAGA stuff two days before a special election might motivate Democrats
Very good point.
Yes. Better to prove the GOP is worthless to conservative voters than to risk motivating liberals. /s
Sigh.....
It’s pretty simple.
You ran in order to represent the people IN WASHINGTON!!
The people elected you to represent them IN WASHINGTON!!
If you cannot go and fulfil your duties, don’t run...
