NPR not covering the wildness of this vote. Not only did three Republicans cross the aisle (one more than expected), Democratic Representative Al Green of Texas showed up to vote in hospital scrubs and without socks after just getting out of surgery. The Hill Source

Holy shit that's a massive lede buried. Green going the distance for decency.

Wait, was he the one Marj Greene was whining about?

Greene told reporters, "We can basically look at this like a game, unfortunately, and there's strategy. And [the Democrats] hid one of their members, waiting till the last minute, watching to see our votes, um, trying to throw us off in the numbers we had versus the numbers they had. So yeah that was a strategy at play tonight."

Also, holy shit she's dumb. Like, she was dumb three years ago but she sounds like she takes the golf-scoring approach to intelligence. How can a person in Congress be getting dumber the longer they're there?

(Also the vote was 214-216, so even if Al Green hadn't been able to make it the GOP would still have lost. So not only does Margie not know that 216>214, she apparently also doesn't know that 216-1>214).

Dunno if you've noticed but npr has been dog shit this year. Poor to the point I've pulled my recurring donations.

They've been pushing their narratives like so many others lately and it's annoying. Dunno if I've just noticed it in the run up to the election but their quality has plummeted on the domestic and international fronts notably this past year imo.
