“House Republicans’ mainstream wing is warning Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) not to repeat his predecessor’s mistake of giving away the store to his right-wing detractors to retain his gavel,” Axios reports.

“Johnson is facing roughly a dozen right-wing holdouts on the eve of Friday’s speaker election — in which he will only be able to afford a handful of GOP defections.”

Not many of them to really amount to a serious caucus. Just not so crazies, I would say.

Quicker than the time it takes to travel the Planck distance.

France is embarrassed by how quickly they give up.

The GOP is really most sincerely dead.

It's the Maga Party Political Wire.

Second- there are no moderates in the Maga. Wanting to cut Social Security, ban abortion nation wide, and eliminating the Department of Education are radical right wing authoritarian goals.

Jesus Christ! These effing *reporters* need to start putting things at the root.
