House Republicans are struggling with the same battles over government funding that led to the chaotic unseating of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), seemingly cutting any honeymoon short for new Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). GOP leadership this week yanked two spending bills from the floor amid disputes on spending and other controversial policy items. With a government funding deadline less than a week away, the conference seems hopelessly divided on how to avert a shutdown.

      Jesus left some fairly straightforward and unambiguous instructions for his followers. The trouble is that conservatives only want the clout of associating with Christ and the power that comes with the authority of speaking on behalf of God.

      Jesus could do all of the things - cure the blind! Raise the dead! Water to wine! Come back from the dead! Walk on water!

      But he was really shit during that one semester of accounting.

      if Jesus can’t manage your own House

      This line is so pointed and literal. I love that even the Christians are reading the writing on the wall that their group is more akin to satanic than godly, even if they don’t realize it

      I thought the love of Jesus brought people together and helped them resolve their differences. I guess I should never read a book about, say, European history.
