July 10 is a bad day for my little state. My home in the Northeast Kingdom. I was there for the flooding last year and it was devastating. Thinking of everyone impacted this year.

I have eaten an entire party sized container of Oreos this week, if that's any indication of how things are going.

Self, Spartz, Clyde, Massie, and Fitzpatrick

As long as the vote is open, people can switch their votes. I’m sure there’s some mad wrangling going on right now. Current nos are Self, Spartz, Clyde, Massie, and Fitzpatrick. Spartz at least is one who is known to fold.

Can you explain the difference between the first vote they just had and the second vote HFC is vowing to tank? My House rules knowledge is not what it should be.

I’m confused now. Probably cause I don’t know House rules. Just got an alert saying that HFC isn’t voting on the rule tonight at all and they recommended to leadership that they bring it up tomorrow. I need the over/under from a smarter person on what just happened 😅

Yeah, everyone will stay now until final passage. My question is, are any of those who voted yes on the rule still a no on the bill?

Massie and Roy are definite Nos on the rule. There are two left and I’m not sure who they are. Johnson only needs one of them.

I went to pick up my toddler at daycare, took a walk with him in the neighborhood, had dinner, did bath time and bedtime, and that vote is still open 🙃

I have no idea... my Hill experience is a decade old. I have no insight into the dynamics of this House other than it's an extremely toxic place to be for everyone who is there. I think it goes 1 of 2 ways: the HFC doubles down and forces H/S to go to conference, or they fold.

They can't close the vote yet... they need to get to 217! My Senate gal know-how is showing with my lack of knowledge of House stuff.

It's interesting to me that they're not just closing the vote. I got a text alert saying that leadership told members to go back to their offices and that HFC members are talking with the White House. Wild times.

Who are the 7? Could any of those add to the No side?

Does anyone know if the birthright ruling lifts existing nationwide TROs? Or was it narrower? @chrisgeidner.bsky.social @weissmann.substack.com

is it infrastructure week or what

As a single mom, I have some thoughts.

This isn’t to say I’m not going to do my job in response because hell yes I am. People’s livelihoods are at stake. But Sunday morning? Really? Never sent so many emails and texts before 7am on a Sunday ever.
