    “Unprecedented” lmao what a clickbait hyperbole. Democrats have been wanting to move these bills for months

      It’s not literally unprecedented but this is more than voting for a bill. It’s supporting a rule change in committee and presumably on the floor. Rule changes are almost always party line votes. Even in a compromise that requires support from the minority party it’s viewed as the basic responsibility of the majority party.

        To be clear, nearly every substantial bill in the House only arrives on the floor by passing a custom single-bill rule that was referred out of the rules committee.

        So these normally-party-line rule changes are a routine occurrence in the House. The weird part is that this one went through on a bipartisan vote.

      The minority party rarely helps bring a bill out of rules that it doesn’t sponsor.

      Bipartisanship is when a bill is sponsored by both parties. Here, the Republicans wrote a bill and sent it to the floor.

    It’s the end of the Twitter Caucus. Gaetz and MTG can go pound sand.
