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.

    You don’t see right under the blue/red electoral bar the vote totals for each with the percentages of total in parentheses next to them? Is that not showing for you?

    I see it on Firefox Android in mobile mode and in desktop mode

      ah ok I do actually. It just so light on a white background and everything I use is high contrast so its nearly invisible to me. Would be nice if they showed that last few percent. At least an other category.
