Ok y'all we're testing Congress' popularity against 23 other things this weekend. They include root canals, Ebola, meth labs, and Nickelback

My constituent, David Walker, just got a nomination for Speaker of the House. If Boehner doesn't have the votes, maybe a new CT Compromise?

True!“: true of false: Speaker doesn't actually have to be a member of Congress?”

There's a vote for Allen West for Speaker from the Republican side. Just sayin'

Wonderful!“: The theme of this Congress should be borrowed from Nike: Just Do It!”

New geometry on the vote board. Hopefully new geometry in the legislative negotiations.

"Our people were played last night," says of lack of House aid - "my party was responsible for this."

Amen“:It's not just campaign money, it's also federal fiscal transfers AKA the tax revenue that CT exports to other states.”

About to speak on the House Floor on the GOP leaders GOP's decision to punt on the relief bill.

Incomprehensible & irresponsible of GOP leaders to cancel vote on bipartisan emergency relief for victims.

Hit where it hurts“: PETER KING: No New Yorker Should Give A Single Dime To The Republican Party Again

We'll see“: Boehner spokesman: "Speaker will make the supplemental his first priority in the new Congress."

Tune in to now. Bipartisan CT, NJ, NY members urging action on Senate-passed relief bill.

Peter King, R-NY, "these people have no problem finding NY when it comes to raising money"

Wow. Peter King R-NY, slamming his Republican leadership for callously refusing to bring bill to floor.
