Breaking up the MAGA coalition is like crushing diamonds it’s difficult to do but it takes other MAGAs to begin the fracturing process think MTG and Nancy Mace. One must take the weakest part of the fracture and finish it off.

Absolutely! I keep getting hammered by my progressive friends when I suggest that, hearing only that "MAGA, they're scum and we shouldn't talk." Baloney and what does it matter that we don't like them? It's a tiny fracture right now, but it will widen.

Could this have been a wake-up call for an infinitesimal number of fascists in congress?

All those still refusing to do their jobs need to pay their salaries and benefits funded by US back to the Treasury.

Can you just print the names of those who crossed over?

After the nine voted to advance the discharge petition, evidently more republicans saw the handwriting on the wall and 17 voted to pass the subsidies and send the bill to the Senate. They are:

Robert Bresnahan, Pennsylvania; Mike Carey, Ohio; Monica De La Cruz, Texas; Brian Fitzpatrick, Pennsylvania; Andrew Garbarino, New York; Jeff Hurd, Colorado; Dave Joyce, Ohio; Tom Kean Jr., New Jersey; Nick LaLota, New York; Mike Lawler, New York; Ryan Mackenzie, Pennsylvania; Carol Miller, West Virginia; Zach Nunn, Iowa; María Elvira Salazar, Florida; David Valadao, California; Derrick Van Orden, Wisconsin; Rob Wittman, Virginia.

Never forget that they are still all abject cowards slobbering over the orange menace. They could stop his rampage in a heartbeat by simply pulling the funding plug, but they refuse.

It’s a sign that MAGA is cracking up and squeaker of House peewee johnson is losing control of his caucus. The $64000 question is what incredibly heinous, despicable, horrible, awful stunt will trump pull to distract and threaten them? My own thought is that invasion of Cuba is next because rubio is obsessed with fidel (who btw has been dead for 9 years) and he’s in a hurry to prove himself to the rabid Miami Cuban refugees who have been in a rage over the communists for the last 60 years.

What caused these republican to change their mind......oh yeah, fear of losing their position of abused power....too little, too late. Get rid of them.

WaPo and other polls, show MAGA VOTERS haven't budged, so this is about Rs losing independents? Very much a cult.
