MAGA Mike Johnson, the MAGA Republican Speaker of the House is panicking as his majority is getting even smaller. California GOP Representative Doug LaMalfa passed away at the age 65. He was representing the Northern California District and he chaired the Western Caucus. So the House is now going to be 218 to 213 as Jake Sherman writes. It's a two vote margin, a one vote margin if you factor in the fact that Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky, mostly votes against House Republican leadership. At the same time that's taking place, I mean, just look at this math right here. For the whole month of February, Republicans will only have a one-vote majority. In March, if they fill Marjorie Taylor Greene's seat, Johnson will have a two-vote majority.

That was supposed to be, I guess, Donald Trump briefing Congress, or he only briefed the Republican Party at the Kennedy Center on the invasion of Venezuela, which only 33% of Americans support. Also, Donald Trump delivered his message with all these serious problems by dancing in front of the Republicans at the Kennedy Center. Here, play that.
