Alas, there's not that much time left until January 20, but the old thread was simply too large to keep going.

A major spat has broken out in the GOP between those who dislike H1B visas, which Donald Trump previously called "very bad" and "unfair", and those like Elon Musk who support them. Maga figures have been throwing rocks at Musk, and Musk told them to go "fuck themselves in the face", an unlikely insult for a man whose obsessed with epic level procreation (which is a fascination of certain elements of the far right).
Yesterday Trump came down in favor of H1B visas, claiming he's always liked visas in general, which isn't true, but then Trump doesn't particularly worry about truthfulness.
Bannon also said this past week that Mike Johnson has "got to go". One of Trump's sons claimed that the "vast majority" of Republicans were enemies, along with the Democrats.
Mike Johnson appears to have very little chance of retaining his position as Speaker of the House. Guess leopards ate his face.

Donald Trump:
The extension of the Debt Ceiling by a previous Speaker of the House, a good man and a friend of mine, from this past September of the Biden Administration, to June of the Trump Administration, will go down as one of the dumbest political decisions made in years. There was no reason to do it - NOTHING WAS GAINED, and we got nothing for it - A major reason why that Speakership was lost. It was Biden’s problem, not ours. Now it becomes ours. I call it “1929” because the Democrats don’t care what our Country may be forced into. In fact, they would prefer “Depression” as long as it hurt the Republican Party. The Democrats must be forced to take a vote on this treacherous issue NOW, during the Biden Administration, and not in June. They should be blamed for this potential disaster, not the Republicans!
Donald Trump, head of the GOP, the party of fiscal responsibility.

Trump endorsed Johnson for speaker.

Harriet Hageman was named incoming chair of the Anti-Woke Caucus.
I didn't know that there was one, but apparently it exists and is dedicate to fighting "woke" ideologies in government, business and society.

An interview with Senate Whip Barrasso. As per usual, not much content, unfortunately.
Something indicating an award for real content, and character:
Cheney receives 2nd highest
civilian award from Biden

Prosecutor Jack Smith's report will be released to the public. Trump tried to prevent this from occurring.
This:
Trump will be sentenced by a New York judge today on his multiple felony convictions in the one case that made it all the way through the court. They will be state law felony convictions.
cont:
J. D. Vance resigned his Senate seat yesterday in preparation for being sworn in as Vice President on the 20th and waiting out the interregnum until he can take the oath of office as President.
Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted is widely anticipated to be the individual who will take Vance's place until the 2026 election.

Newsletter from Sen. Lummis:
Any athlete knows the pressure of going to
battle on the court, fighting for their season, their teammates and their
future. Throughout the past four years, female athletes have had to battle
opponents who are bigger, faster, and stronger, but that is because
biological males have stepped onto the field. This season, the Wyoming
Cowgirls volleyball team courageously decided to forfeit their games against
San Jose State University, a team that allowed a biological male to compete
against female athletes.
Title IX is supposed to recognize the distinct
biological differences between men and women and protect female athletes from
harm on the playing field. The Mountain West Conference failed the Wyoming
Cowgirls, and the woke policies of athletic organizations are failing women
and girls across the nation. I joined my Republican colleagues to reintroduce
The Protection
of Women and Girls in Sports Act, a bill that reaffirms Title IX
be treated as "recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive
biology and genetics at birth" and does not adjust it to apply to gender
identity.
Little girls who grow up with Olympic dreams
should not have to see those goals crushed underneath the foot of a man
competing against her. I am proud to fight for women and girls across the
Equality State, and the nation.
Happy Trails,
January 14, 2025 How many senators have shown up drunk to vote at night?...And how many senators do you know have gotten divorced for cheating on their wives...it's for show....it is so ridiculous you guys hold yourselves to a higher standard.: Sen Mullin, Hegseth confirmation hearing.
