1/34 This started out as a much shorter thread about a related topic, but Something Happened and now it's a #LifeHack#instructional thread on keeping your house comfortable and saving #money and the #environment, through the magic of air movement. It's also timely, what with it being the start of the northern-hemisphere summer and southern-hemisphere winter.

Timing is everything. This comes just after #Schiff publicly demolished #Durham, which is 1 reason they’re so scared of him. Cowards.
The #House on Wednesday advanced a resolution to #censure Rep. #AdamSchiff (D-Calif.), overcoming a procedural hurdle that blocked a similar measure targeting the California Democrat last week and teeing up a final vote later in the day #politics
#Emmer (MN), the #House maj whip, was elected as the #GOP pick on a 5th ballot in an internal race that drew 9 #Republicans. It’s not clear, however, that he has enough support to be elected on the House floor. To prevail, Emmer would need a majority of the full chamber.
Emmer, who has been in #Congress since 2015, previously chaired the #National Republican Congressional Cmte — the House campaign arm — for 4 yrs.
👀 "#House Homeland Sec Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) won’t seek re-election"
Oh this is rich. Hey Green, GUESS WHO CALLS THE SHOTS IN THE HOUSE! Trump!
"There's also just the frustration of trying to get something done here..
This place is so broken & making a diff here is just you know, just it feels like a lot of a lot of something for nothing."
Green not ruling out a future bid for higher office, but is currently working to get Trump elected in November."
"#House GOP leaders plan to give up on trying to pass 2nd govt #funding bill, expected to leave DC Thurs, hamstrung by conservative demands for more spending cuts & internal division over social issues like #abortion.
#House Democrats are preparing a resolution to censure Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) after his office linked to a website that has posted Holocaust denial content, Axios has learned.
OOOOOOOHKay!
So I don't know how he's going to do this except to make a deal backing a particular house republican in exchange (which is the point I was trying to make the other night @Mary625 ...and who else was in the convo?).
but here's the thing, if he manages to enact it, it sounds like a great thing! holy shit. like i was saying the other day, we can put forth legislation that's actually bipartisan across the citizenry like paid family leave, stricter gun controls, higher taxes for the rich, healthcare for all....
but mark my fucking words. hakeem jeffries isn't interested in anything bipartisan, but only "bipartisan". what do the donors of the corporatists of both parties want?
military budgets will pass. corporate handouts and cuts to taxes will happen, you better fucking believe that oil is going to happen.
but the media will spin it beautifully. jeffries will be a hero. the left will be "pro-republican" for calling out his bull shit. #uspol#hakeem#jeffries#house#uniparty

👀👉🏼Investigators from the #House Ethics Committee have begun reaching out to witnesses as part of a recently revived investigation into Rep. Matt #Gaetz of #Florida, focused on allegations that he may have engaged in sexual misconduct, illicit drug use or other misconduct. #GaetzGate
So Justin #Trudeau, our "#unifying" prime minister who wants to "build #bridges, not sow #division", announced the suspension of the much-hated and regressive #carbon#tax on #heating#oil - but only in the Maritime provinces, because heating your #house shouldn't be expensive, and the #Maritimes are mostly oil-heated.
The west, which is mostly natural #gas-heated, or #propane-heated, which are also carbon taxed?
The #House just cancelled the rest of votes today & tmrw, after conservatives tanked a procedural vote for a long term spending bill & another long term spending bill was facing major issues.
House not back until after Thanksgiving now. #GOPfail
GOP now openly admitting that they blew $41M -- in their own salaries alone -- pursuing a no-evidence of #impeachment, all for naught.
Jordain Carney:
#House#GOP increasingly acknowledging they don't have the votes to impeach #Biden:
Bacon estimated 20-30 are not in favor "mainly because it smells bad what he did, it looks bad, but when you ask them what crime is committed — they can’t tell you"
