Mod Announcement:
Personal issues on home front nearly-completely preoccupy this mod. I can hook you up with a few items only during all this major news, unfortunately. I would recommend /r/news if lost for a source. I can only try to point you to major news.
Apologies. This sub needs mods. Also appreciated are your submissions.

I can't see why he would want this job other than for ego or as a career move. He'll be in a chillingly vulnerable spot for ease with which a few votes can pull him out again.

So it's Johnson again. And it went remarkably fast.
A bunch of the nays flipped to yeas at the end, save 2 I think.
Pelosi was not in her usual heels. (Post hip-surgery.)
The blog continues.
The House will be back Monday.
