Summary

The House GOP’s new rules package aims to weaken minority party influence while advancing a pro-corporate agenda.

Key provisions include shielding the House speaker from bipartisan accountability and fast-tracking 12 GOP bills without allowing amendments, including measures to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) and protect fracking.

Democrats, led by Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), criticized the package for ignoring economic and social issues like inflation and housing while prioritizing tax cuts for billionaires.

Republicans plan to offset these costs by slashing social programs, sparking warnings of further congressional dysfunction.

    Not every single state, Washington went more left.

      I think you meant to reply to the person who said:

      Every single state shifted right.

      Unless this is one of those things where if anything wasn’t explicitly refuted in a reply people act like you agree with it.
