There is no requirement that the Speaker of the House be an elected member of Congress. After Elon Musk all but killed a bill to fund the government, lawmakers now propose to cut out the middleman.

    The administration isn’t even in and I’m exhausted already. 2025 might be the year I actually lose my sanity.

      They are doing this on purpose to exhaust, and when we are exhausted they can get what they want.

      Pick your battles, don’t stress over things in advance that you can’t control.

      Can’t lose it if you don’t look for it!

      Edit: find a good outlet for fun that you consider normal. Don’t let it go and keep it your normal.

    I hate Elon Musk but I love watching him eat shit sandwiches while insisting they’re delicious.

    He wouldn’t last more than a week because the zookeeper gets the blame not the spotlight.

    Just so everyone knows because the article headline makes it seem like it’s a large amount of the GOP House Caucus, the 2 people who put forward this idea initially were GOP Senators and then MTG jumped on board of course. But Senators have no say in who becomes speaker of the house so this all seems rather pointless unless a large amount of GOP House members come out in favor of the idea.

    Why would they give power and responsibility to the square shaped fack? Isn’t D.O.G.E. basically a pr firm? An advisory office with multiple teams to keep Elon and Vivek busy specifically so that they won’t do anything?
