BoB: That tweet came from a parody account.
Okay, then. Good. I said it looked dubious, but…!
Vic: New year coming up with new laws going into effect.
First they passed PP funding in the Omniverous bill. Then, they plan to pass bills to de-fund it. Which Obama can veto, and they can say they tried.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday warned Republican voters to steer clear of nominating Tea Party candidates who can't win in next year's general election.

Alas, I also expect our two "Republican" Senators, the old venerable Inhofe and the new RINOish Lankford, to be voting Yay [sic] on the bill, as well.
So, neither house of Congress has voted yet on the gazillion dollar budget bill, izzat right? The way it's been talked about, seemed like it had already been passed.
Lordy! Mew Mew beat me to the question.
Laurie David's Cervix: The Senate rejected Thursday evening an amendment... Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill. was the only Republican who voted against the amendment....
J.J. Sefton: Only 10 senators voted yea on Rand Paul's bill to halt immigration from Middle Eastern countries....
In the "yeah, sure" department:
Vic: The House has passed a defense bill that prevents Obama from closing GITMO and sending the terrorists to the US.
It should have read:
What does Congress do?

Secretary of State John Kerry and other top administration officials will face tough questions on the Iran deal at a Senate hearing...
Tough. Sure.
Drudge tweets in response to passing trade bill unread:
"BOEHNER: We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it..."
I see that of Oklahoma's six congresscritters, only Tom Cole voted for amnesty. There's always one, even now that there aren't any Dems.
Encourage his good behavior, MWW. :^) I think Congresspeople like position reinforcement
Reposting from late last thread, because I have nothing else, new, or better to say:
FenelonSpoke: "If you have a Republican Rep please e-mail or call themthem today and urge them not to vote for Boehner as Speaker even if you think it will do no good."
The CIA spying on Congress story (as popularized, thanks, Gabe, for better truthiness) didn't really bother me much. The CIA is supposed to spy on the enemy.
Darryl Issa today announces the formation of two new Congressional investigatory committees.
"Calling Congress people will do nothing to stop Obama." -Buster Brown
My first impulse was, sadly, that's true.
I wish my congressman had pushed his way in, punching people if necessary. Would they arrest him? I’d like to see it.

»» The vote breakdown was 225 Republicans and 7 Democrats in favor, with 186 Democrats voting against the measure....
The Congressional Class of 1974 is Almost gone, Thank God
That photo certainly always does bring it back.

[Huac]records regarding the HUAC were sealed and in 1976 another 50 years were added to the sealing.
"Congressional Review Act, a rarely used provision that allows Congress to block executive branch regulations that Congress considers onerous."
"...there hasn't been any conservative Democrats in Congress for decades." -Vic
Actually, Okla's last Dem congressman probably would qualify. He's gone, now, though, IIRC.
