Bipartisan cry for just basic changes to House rules & customs: voting calendar & committee timing, allowing new parents to vote by proxy, giving some training for handling intel.

As I was saying yesterday, he couldn't cancel all 3 weeks of the Sept session. So, instead, they'll cram 3 weeks of fundraisers into 1 week (9/14-9/17). Sucks for women's softball game (9/23), but members will need to come back for that. 5K views · 5 likes · 3 reposts · 0 replies 03 Sep 2026 · Open on X →
The distance between @johnthune & @SpeakerJohnson on November & everything else is massive. Speaker guaranteed House majority yesterday. Few hours later Thune said even Senate majority is in play. 4.6K views · 19 likes · 4 reposts · 1 replies 02 Sep 2026 · Open on X →

… there’s also a bunch of important annual cultural events of Congress, like the Members vs Press Corps softball game, slated for Sept 23. This may sound cynical and trivial, but these are important things for members. And if there aren’t any votes in DC, those events get nixed. 9K views · 34 likes · 4 reposts · 1 replies 01 Sep 2026 · Open on X →
I realize this is deeply cynical, but that’s from 25-plus straight years on this beat: Johnson can’t just send House home till after Election Day once votes conclude this week. September is too big for DC fundraising circuit for members. They have lotsa $ events here. Plus … 60K views · 118 likes · 14 reposts · 7 replies 01 Sep 2026 · Open on X →
