🚨Glossary Alert! 🚨
“We don’t have the votes”
Definition: An attempt by the Uniparty to avoid holding a vote for a conservative priority. Alternative uses include making the false claim that there are absentee problems. Or that a bill has "math problems".
Per a source, Roy was worked up and Johnson argued they don’t have the votes to do a year long CR.

Glossary overload! So swampy. OH-07 has the Swamp congressman.
I voted to pass today’s funding package.
It wasn’t perfect, but it was better than the alternative: 6 more months of Biden-Pelosi-Schumer spending.

The Swamp hides in plain sight - in brick red districts where they have no room to hide. They need to be exposed.
Fascinating details. 1) majority of GOP (101 to 112) voted NO, 2) 10 of the 20 GOP Committee Chairman voted NO. 3) of the 101 “YES” votes, the Cook PVI score for 32 of the “YES” votes is over R+15, and for 51 of them is over R+10.

I’m a YES on this bill because:

🚨Funds 22,000 border patrol agents (highest ever)

Or more appropriately, that's how the Swamp works. SCIF briefings are straight up glossary.
Just absolutely amazing that Speaker Johnson admits that he completely changed his view on the need for the FBI/NSA's warrantless spying powers -- after vocally opposing it -- because he went to get a classified briefing and they convinced him.
That's how DC works.

The Swamp Glossary's inspiration. Judging from the crowd's reaction, they weren't impressed. The stone cold lady with the sun glasses knew he was The Swamp!
Mitch McConnell's first C-SPAN appearance:
January 30, 1985.
He told this joke ..
The set-up: "I read about a Paris newspaper that conducted a major survey and asked French men what they did after making love. The results were indeed startling."
