the House chooses a leader.

Right now we still have our own crisis of threats against democracy as the Republican Party has largely quit.

Update, Trip has been cancelled.

Double Update Just part of the trip has been cancelled, President Biden is still going to Israel.

I still believe he should come back

Democratic House members much closer (and with a much greater hand to play) to the action.

In any event - I think the trip has been called.

stand corrected: Jordan 'conference' cancelled, Israel trip still on.
(and this might be an improvement? - if Biden was getting nothing at all from the other 'players'. )
