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.
They absolutely did vote for this and sat on their asses and also didn’t vote and voted for this.
Fuck you Americans, you wanted it, now we all get your shitty choices.
Hey man i didn’t vote for the assholes
Too damn bad that’s not how democracy works. You’ll take what the idiots give us.
Sadly, because of the US’s imperial nature, it’s not just going to affect them.
