House bid to attach SAVE Act to NDAA fails
BREAKING on MS NOW: Mike Johnson's latest effort to force through the SAVE America Act to rig elections just failed. The House failed to clear a procedural vote 198-224 on the NDAA largely because the SAVE Act was attached.
Cathal Kennedy289God bless Mike Johnson and his willingness to utterly humiliate himself on a daily basis...
𝕊𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕖 𝔾𝕦𝕣𝕝285Mike Johnson makes me wish I had more middle fingers.
EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎153Lol, someone just said *this about *him bsky.app/profile/robe...
Lpeterp73Speaker Pelosi never lost a vote she called. That's competent leadership.
D.C.70Mike Johnson will be remembered as the littlest speaker of the house. If he’s remembered at all.
Good Trouble46You can say what you want about Nancy Pelosi, but the woman could at least count.
waxmonkey18gonna build a ballroom out of L's im tellin you
@dennis74.bsky.social7This is so the republicans who voted against can say they are for their constituents to get re-elected!
Micah Warren5Some good news. I'll take it where I can get it I guess.
JudyJaguarianJetta3Failure to bind Bound to fail Republicans in a nutshell
Vet , Dem, 🇺🇸3Johnson knew it would fail but he could not refuse his Masta
Blooms2Some more good news today.
GeoManKS, PhD2The worst of MAGA each has their own way. Johnson is the slimiest, comically phony in his own way and leads the pack of the worst people in Congress in his own way.
Alma R Ramirez 🤣2The number of those against the "finish destroying the US Act"... Had a growth spurt...bravo 👌
you've got july in session, august/early september on recess, mid-late september in session, october recess, then midterms. in that time, you have to get the NDAA through, hardliners want the SAVE act to go through, johnson wants a third reconciliation, and now you're adding a SCOTUS confirmation?
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE83doesn't mean they *can't* do it, but it does mean that they've already got a nearly-unmanageable plate and this drops a bomb into it
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE54johnson's also trying to chain the NDAA and SAVE together, which thune has already publicly said is a non-starter, which means they're going to burn even more time on it.
Mitchell Epner14ACB was not nominated until September 26, 2020 and she was confirmed one month later on October 26, 2020. If Trump wants to push through a SCOTUS nomination before the midterms, time will not be the limiting factor. The only question is whether 4 GOP senators will defect.
John8The SAVE Act is not going to happen, surely.
Yokem6Or Alito waits until after midterms to see if the GOP holds the Senate. And if not, he retires immediately afterwards and they jam someone in during the lame duck session.
kurt4if they manage to get a SCOTUS confirmation done, my money’s on it happening in the lame duck session
Mike Black59also approps you know that whole thing that funds the govt whether or not they lapse 1 Oct basically comes down to what the dems think the right calculus is in terms of a shutdown fight in an election year vs punt on a CR, because lord knows the majority ain't doing jack
Leon English5Genuine q as I’m not sure about the answer and someone might be - am I wrong that there’s nothing procedural stopping them from confirming after midterms?
Embarrassing for Mike Johnson: 12 Republicans are voting against the rule for NDAA Faceplant
MLC12Now up to 14 👀
Diana N. (she/her)8Honestly feels like he's in exit mode
lifeinthedesert.bsky.social2He operates at a level of professional, political humiliation that Pelosi or Tip O'Neill never experienced in their decades of leadership. Even Gingrich would have resigned from the House before experiencing the pants-around-his-ankles embarrassment that Johnson is subjected to on a daily basis.
So what happens if we actually don’t pass an NDAA for FY27
Janissary Morale and Welfare Officer Gigan26It’s not the money itself but it is what allows DoD to spend money so like what happens in FY27 if we have none? I guess you could do like a CR for the NDAA but that’s nuts
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE15the marshall of the supreme court assumes command of CENTCOM
B. A. Friedman5We do FY26 again and maybe this time beat Iran.
Clay Copper4CR for the NDAA would be a real Stop The Count event, there's no way it happens right? Get an extra year of funding/authorization on a bunch of stuff and delay/lose funds on others. I guess it depends on how much Republicans want to push on their stuff, but we might be in for some Real Days
Sharon3new levels of ship money shenanigans
