1. My reaction:

2. If only it was true

Was his life "hell" the last two years?

People on food stamps, and migrant workers, and Headstart kids, and Gays and Trans people in the military will be living in misery and in large part House Democrats won't be able to do much about it.

More hyperbole put out to make us feel better, I fear.

12. I'm waiting for the Dems to actually do something for the people...still waiting

Real god d*mn shame most of the Dems have jelly for backbones.

3. In the minority, you can't do anything except vote no

5. They have a 3 vote majority ....

there are several Reps that don't always go along.

14. Five votes really

It will take a three seat pickup to take back the house… but it’s 220-215 (with the caveat that they’ll have a few vacancies for several weeks)

As for those that don’t go along - we have some of those too… and the ones that had previously been a problem were on the MAGA side trying to keep moderates from cutting deals with the senate or white house democrats. That isn’t an issue any longer

It’s going to be tight for both sides

15. Watch Jared Golden rat us out.

Wouldn't even be shocked if he jumped ship. Might be easier for him to get reelected as a GOPer.

4. Give that SOB Hell, Hakeem!

[Emile]

6. I hope so.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

7. I'll believe it when I see it.

[dchill]

8. Interesting, I guess. If indeed it's possible.

9. About time the honeymoon is over.

Lets see the republicans govern without democrats help.

[ancianita]

10. Good!

And Hakeem is exactly the right man of The People to do just that.

Like Harry Truman said, " I never did give anybody hell. I just told the truth and they thought it was hell."

Pretty sure we saw this news last month? Thanks, though, because it bears repeating.

[Hekate]

11. Li'l Pervy needs some Hell before he gets there

[EnergizedLib]

13. I sure hope so

Derail their agenda as much as you can possibly can.

16. Couldn't happen to a nicer fella
