This wasn't a partisan issue. It was literally just letting new mothers vote.
I'll call it resisting if the American people have consequences
Those voter ID laws would have been the death knell for democracy, as they were in the Jim Crow South. Stopping them had incalculable benefits for the American people.
It shouldn't be a partisan issue, but it clearly is.

Republican women in our house of Representatives are demanding maternity remote work for themselves. Twelve weeks. That's twelve weeks more than Americans get.
So they'll have time off with their babies. And still get paid. With their free taxpayer funded Healthcare.
Leading the charge was Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla. She was in the freedom caucus, who opposed giving special treatment to women. But Luna had a baby last year. So guess what's suddenly important to her now? She left the freedom caucus.
I fucking LOATHE Republicans. Their brains are broken that they can't imagine something unless it happens to them. They're too stupid or selfish, I'm not sure which. Pretty sure it's stupid.
shes one of those , i want my slice of cake i dint help buy or make, but a larger slice of it.
12 weeks is so crazy little. i got 8 weeks, as a father, and my wife took 78 weeks (at a reduced weekly pay)
Babies have to learn to be self sufficient as early as 12 weeks so that they can enter the workforce and learn to be oppressed sooner.
They yearn for the mines, not the moms

Definitely stupid. Also selfish, but definitely stupid. I've met too many of these god damn people that just cannot fathom seeing the world from the perspective of anyone else.

Twelve weeks. That's twelve weeks more than Americans get.
Paid is the important additional criteria in your statement. Fmla keeps your insurance running and guarantees 12 weeks off work unpaid for maternity leave(for people working more than the pittance that is 1250 hours a year)
something many Americans cannot afford.
that being said i am 100% in favor of new parents getting to at least work remotely in the House
Now accepting bets on when Trump dissolves Congress.
You mean, when Musk dissolves congress?
probably hoping this a distraction from all the elon-wisconsin trumps shenangigan blows over.
Wonder when they'll start floating the idea of martial law.
Their primary objective of Martial Law will be to suspend the mid-term elections, and they don't want to show that hand too early, and give it time to get through the courts.
So they'll wait until next summer, when the protests have grown huge, and the enraged citizens are on the warpath. They'll send in their RedHats to instigate violence, then send in armed authorities to quell the street violence with ferocious armed violence. That will be met with more violence, and the streets of American cities will look like Hong Kong.
Then they will use that as justification for Martial Law, and suspend elections until peace is restored, and since HitlerPig controls the peace that will never happen.
Next summer is going to be wild.
"marshall law"
Better than Lily's law
That's a Tekken character.
You're thinking of Martian law.
Well, the recommendation for martial law is supposed to come out by April 20th.
It will be a nice birthday present
It is also the birthday of president musk's idol
Also Easter
Good. Let's be honest here... When Republicans stop working America benefits.
I'm not sure if this is Johnson acting immature and throwing a tantrum because the GOP couldn't get their way, or if he's buying time to make sure they can get the nine Republicans into line before trying again.
Definitely the latter. They don't want to risk anyone else defecting in the meantime after repeated failures that make them look bad, so they're looking for some other way to coerce the votes.
Mob style, bribery and physical threats to your family and loved ones.
that is true to get them to toe the line, but i suspect its a distraction for the wisconsin judge fiasco.
It's just a rule they can't vote on it until Monday. Which was the original schedule until Anna Paulina Luna used the arcane rule to move it up. She probably did that because nobody comes to work on Mondays and she didn't think they'd have the votes. She worked with a Democrat to create the bill and had a baby just a few months after being elected. She left the Freedom Caucus over it.
The 9 Rs didn't like being pushed around.
Or, just maybe, some of them (plus her) are the ones that some of the more quietly persuasive Democrats need to be talking to off the floor....
Edit: Either way, I'm happy for anything that messes with the GOP pushing through their hate agenda. Delay, Deny, Defend us against tyranny!

Geez I wish I could just stop working when I don't agree wit my coworkers.
I quit a job after a coworker started yelling and screaming because I was told to go help them. I said I couldn't work with them anymore.My manager said, "well you can't pick who you work with." So I turned in my shit ans left the next day. You actually can pick who you work with.
Communism is democracy in the workplace. Capitalism is authoritarianism in the workplace.
