What happened when Democrats governed last term? Another great jobs report for December. Historic job creation over two years. What happened when Republicans gained control of the House this month? Chaos, confusion and crisis. #fridaymorning truth — PolitiTweet.org

If we were in a presidential election cycle, we would be unable to certify the Electoral College results because we still have no #HouseofRepresentatives due to House Republican chaos. The American people will not want House Republicans in charge in two years. Guaranteed. — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin McCarthy’s speaker disaster is a preview of GOP disfunction over the next two years. https://t.co/wwIHvEuhqR via @HuffPostPol

Kevin McCarthy has less votes today to be Speaker of the #HouseofRepresentatives than yesterday, and less votes yesterday than the day before. House Republicans continue to exemplify chaos, confusion and crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is @EliseStefanik making the House staff count all the Members on the Floor? Because @HouseGOP continues to engage in chaos, crisis and delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu
Kevin McCarthy has now been so weakened that he and the GOP caucus will not be able to govern effectively even if he becomes Speaker. @GOPLeader has apparently agreed that it takes just 1 Member of his caucus to make a motion to fire him and there would be a vote. Ridiculous. — PolitiTweet.org

@VolGuinn I don’t send secret emails to social media companies. And the First Amendment prevents government from regulating the speech of private sector companies. MAGA Republicans on the other hand, want to regulate the speech of social media companies. — PolitiTweet.org

GOP Rep Gallagher wants you to believe all is going according to plan. No, it’s not. The failure of #KevinMcCarthy and House Republicans to govern has real consequences. We don’t have a House right now. We can’t see classified documents or conduct oversight. #wednesdaywisdom — PolitiTweet.org

I don’t agree with @chiproytx on most issues. But I believe that he believes in what he says. I respect that a lot more than Republicans like @GOPLeader and @EliseStefanik who will say anything to gain power. Will be interesting to see if folks like Chip Roy stand up or fold. — PolitiTweet.org

Ted Lieu @tedlieu
Dear @Santos4Congress: Maybe you dreamed this, but McCarthy did not swear you in today. No Member was sworn in because House Republicans can’t govern and couldn’t elect a Speaker. You looked lonely sitting by yourself. Feel free to sit on the Democratic side. We have popcorn. — PolitiTweet.org
