Swamp Rat Kevin McCarthy
Republicans threaten to cut $75 billion from the defense budget to prove they're conservative. Can you see how politics works? It's all theater.
It's good to see the old Walt back. Gingrich is directly responsible for the divide in DC.Remember when Republicans would at least lie and claim to support the military. Gingrich demanded billions be spent on heavy tracked vehicles that would fight on the northern plains of Germany, even after we realized that we needed wheeled vehicles like the Stryker. His support for the military was all theater, but his support for his campaign donors was very real.
How many committee assignments does the squad have?
It's a new congress, Walt. Again, McCarthy agreed to give the 'conservative' republicans 1/3 of the committee assignments.In the last Congress, the six of them had 15 committee assignments among them, amounting to 2.5 memberships per Squad member.
To put that into reference, Greene has zero committee assignments. "Madison" Cawthorn had two committee assignments, but they were unimportant, and he often missed votes. Gaetz had two committee assignments.
It is expected that newer Congress members would have one or two. The Squad has been advanced quickly, and have proven the trust put in them by Pelosi was well advised.
The Republican Crazies Caucus usually delegates their votes to others, because they refuse to put in the work.

Pelosi is a war monger, inside trader, who needs to be prosecuted for her crimes. Name one thing she did to help the people in her 37 years of selling America to the war machine.McCarthy has promised to hand over to others the power to pick committee assignments without any say from him. He has surrendered any authority he had.
Pelosi was able to keep authority, and still compromise. I assume Jeffries will do the same, because he seems very competent, but time will tell.
