Summary
The House GOP’s new rules package aims to weaken minority party influence while advancing a pro-corporate agenda.
Key provisions include shielding the House speaker from bipartisan accountability and fast-tracking 12 GOP bills without allowing amendments, including measures to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) and protect fracking.
Democrats, led by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), criticized the package for ignoring economic and social issues like inflation and housing while prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires.
Republicans plan to offset these costs by slashing social programs, sparking warnings of further congressional dysfunction.
I’m still dubious about his win, especially since it’s one of the thinnest margins in history.
It’s a fact that bomb threats were called into Democrat majority polling places and judges refused to extend polling hours to account for it.
It’s a fact that Republican states engaged in heavy voter suppression in major metropolitan areas.
And it’s extremely suspicious that bullet ballot rates were orderes of magnitude higher than previous elections only in swing states.
