Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson faces growing Republican dissent over his handling of government funding, potentially jeopardizing his reelection as speaker on January 3.

Allies are urging Donald Trump to reaffirm his support for Johnson to avoid a prolonged leadership fight, which could delay certification of Trump’s 2024 election victory on January 6.

Johnson’s bipartisan spending bill, criticized by Trump, narrowly averted a government shutdown but failed to include Trump’s core debt-limit demands.

Some Republicans warn that a speakerless House would disrupt critical legislative processes, including election certification.

      Notice how the only good things in Texas are ones that got appropriated from other cultures.

      And let’s face it: take the Velveeta off TexMex, add some flavor, and what you have left is Mexican food, which is even better.

        Good Tex Mex does not have Velveeta.

        As long as you don’t compare it to Mexican food, Tex Mex can be fucking delicious. I just look at it as a different type/ethnicity of food

        There’s a reason I used ketchup as an example. They take food from other cultures and ruin it.
