We cats are no fans of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), but we have always subscribed to Nancy Pelosi's concept of a diverse Democratic caucus that can disagree with one another and still get important stuff done. (Check out these successes from before Republicans narrowly won the House in 2022 if you doubt that approach.)
In spite of Tlaib's awfulness these last few weeks, it's not really heartbreaking to see a resolution to censure her go down in flames tonight. Why? Because Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced it. Still, 23 Republicans joined Democrats to table the resolution.
A quick look at Twitter reveals that Trumpsters are big mad about this, and any time they're upset — and MTG suffers an embarrassing defeat — we feel pretty good. It also makes you wonder if the media will focus as relentlessly on GOP divisions over events in the Middle East as they have over Democratic ones. Hmmm... as the saying goes, we'll wait.
Also tonight, New York Republicans have failed to convince the House to expel serial liar and fraud George Santos from their midst. The vote was 213 to 179, with 31 Democrats voting "no." If GOP members thought they were going to easily extricate themselves from the Santos drama, they were very much mistaken. They'll try again, they say — but in the meantime, we Democrats get to hang Lyin' George around their necks, keep Elise "Elsie" Stefanik on the hot seat about him, and beat him in a landslide in 2024. No complaints there! We cats PURR.
