I see George Santos is busy posting as Rick in the comments here. George, if you can read this, I don't think you are going to finish your term.

I'm glad Jasmine Crockett is in. She did good work in Texas.

McCarthy needed 13 rounds to show everyone he would do ANYTHING to be speaker.

GOP speaker...The Capital Police who spent over 2 months in the hospital with broken ribs, crushed spinal disc and brain hemorrhaging know exactly who D Trump and 'My Kevin' is..

This interview made my evening; I could watch it again and again. Right around Thursday I started wondering, "OMG, what must the newly elected representatives be thinking of this goofballery?" So fun to see them laughing and shaking their heads, Looking forward to both these ladies' long and distinguished service in the House or beyond. 💖

Santos flashed a white power hand sign when being sworn in!

Still trying to figure out why it's only Democrats who have a sense of humor. Clear conscience? Better lifestyle? Common sense? Positive thinking? Nothing to hide? No guilt?

"We live in a world which respects power above all things. Power, intelligently directed, can lead to more freedom. Unwisely directed, it can be a dreadful, destructive force."

Debate and diversity of thought is exactly how Congress is supposed to work.

Q: What did Kevin get on his SATs?
A: Drool.

[goldenhawk]

Seriously? These two new reps didn't expect chaos? Have they not been watching TV or following some news about what's been going on in the capital? It's not a good idea to start a job at a place you have no understanding of...

"A front-row seat to congressional (disgraced TRE45QN TrumPutian) chaos" so let's otherwise "Convince It Forward" with Laus DEO

[ArtDocHound]

A tag sale is like a garage or yard sale. Just sayin 🇺🇸

[rachellucas]

I can't believe people actually watch this person and this station. 🤦

[DAVID-ionj]

Just shows the lockstep mentality of the current Democratic Party. None of them would have the guts to say no to their "leaders".

[gregcarlson]

Matt Gaetz can count votes. Kevin McCarthy can't. Perhaps Kevin can reply on Matt to count votes.
