Maybe he feels he has to do this to show “he fights the dems” but it just comes across as being performatively petty - Pelosi is attending Feinstein funeral in California and he only gave 24 hours to pack and move what I would assume is a considerable quantity of items.
Matt Gaetz with ethics issues? And trying to get ahead of them by claiming witch-hunt? Perish the thought.

This will hurt them in the Senate. One reason members of leadership (and former members) are there is because they have relationships with everyone, and not just in their own chamber. Schumer won't do something stupid, but before his time as majority leader is up, he's likely to find a way to return the favor in a way that won't come back on the rest of his delegation.
Case and Deaton's dataset shows that in 1992, the life-expectancy gap between those with and without a college degree was about 2.5 years. Notable, but not huge. That gap began widening by the 2000s and after 2010 the two sets really diverged, as life expectancy for those with a college degree continued to rise, while life expectancy for those without one declined. Both groups experienced a downturn during the pandemic, but for college-educated Americans it slipped about a year, while for noncollege-educated Americans it slipped by 3.3 years. In the chart above, you can see that by 2021, at the age of 25 a college-educated American could expect to live, on average, more than 58 more years (that is, to live to be over 83), while those without college could expect to live less than 50 more years (that is, not reach 75).

When did Nancy Mace go so far off the rails? I remember on Jan 6, right after she had first been elected, she did a lot of mainstream press and was about as critical of Trump as any Republican not named Mitt Romney dared to be at the time.
been a crap day for me but this made me smile. Well done AOC!
Been happening for a while.
Think she did the first round of media to position herself as “adult in the room” for those who didn’t follow her closely and them saw the benefits of going MAGA at certain times for the online crowd.
McCarthy was already toast when she voted but claiming she was doing it for “women’s issues” rakes in the cash.
