The GOP Women Are Humiliating Mike Johnson Move aside, Freedom Caucus. There’s a new House Republican insurgency in town.

In politics, *everyone* has an expiration date. Moments like this make it a bit more clearer to see. www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

Those Obamacare Subsidies Aren’t Going to Extend Themselves Unfortunately, lawmakers probably won’t end up extending them, either.

I have good news and bad news. Wait, I just have bad news. www.thebulwark.com/p/obamacare-...

Trump’s Venezuela β€œNo-Fly Zone” Is a Dangerous Joke Plus: War crimes and TACO time.

"This insanity makes America less safe. Because either it means that America cannot create no-fly zones. Or that if we do create them, it will be done in such a haphazard way as to create political risk for us, which makes it harder to achieve our objectives." www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-ven...

A Defense of the Thanksgiving Turkey The noble, beautiful, all-American bird pays worthy homage to our grand culinary inheritance.

"The turkey is prolific, capable of producing an amount of meat that crowds our ovens and makes our tables groan. The turkey is delicious, with a distinct, gently gamey flavor that produces incomparable stock. The turkey is ours." www.thebulwark.com/p/a-defense-...

The movie 'Training Day' but all the cast would be muppets besides Denzel. Kermit is Ethan Hawke, obviously.

From Republican House to Retirement Home Mike Johnson is watching dozens of his colleagues shuffle off toward the exits.

The average age of House GOP retirements is significantly younger than their Dem counterparts. Older dems are (finally) leaving, but many GOP lawmakers are departing in their prime www.thebulwark.com/p/from-repub...

It turns out that not legislating and just doing censure votes is bad for morale www.thebulwark.com/p/from-repub...

If you would like to understand Benny's principles, here's a story. While at IJR on the day of the 2015 Roanoke shooting, Benny cried in the newsroom. Not because of the shooting itself, but because we told him he wasn't allowed to post the video of the murder on the website.

Everyone has their Star Wars ordering wrong. It starts at "episode 1" and continues from there. They're clearly labeled.
