The story going around is that the Republican women of Congress are in open revolt because they've been sidelined and ignored by leadership and the President.
White women discover their status doesn't overrule misogyny. More at 11.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Have they tried getting back in the kitchen and having babies?
- The GOP
The dream of every tradwife, surely.
We’re (not) sorry, but to ride ‘Mister trump’s Wild Ride’ you must be:
- white
- male
- Christian (fake is preferred)
- wealthy
Republican, for those that are wondering.
Not just any Republican, she was Trump's nominee for UN Ambassador, until that got withdrawn because the Republicans were losing too many House seats to Presidential appointments.
So, she decided to run for Governor, until a better connected male candidate decided to run instead, so she backed out of that.
It seems like her entire year can be summed up by getting screwed over by other Republicans. No wonder she wants out.
Sounds like it really sucks to be her.
I mean it’s really been all unforced errors, so no one to blame but herself
Sigh, fine. Let me find my tiny violin…
Another indication that the GOP expects a Blue Wave in 2026.
it does have that aftertaste, doesn't it? Given Mamdani win there's a chance she did the math and figured that indeed spending time and energy in place where she's doomed to lose is counterproductive. Or it could be that she's been informed to not interfere in Big Boys' game so she decided to bow out.
I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be more GOP reps who will be looking to "spend more time with their families" in the coming months.
Good fucking riddance traitor
Good.
Ah man I was hoping she would leave in January with Marge.
Great, now she can go work as a lot lizard in Barstow for a few years to regain her self-respect.
HOW can this Happen? She KISSED the Chocolate Starfish!
