because republicans apparently forgot about texas democrat, al green, who just had abdominal surgery, on the house floor in hospital scrubs and a wheelchair to vote no, along with all of the democrats and four republicans. immediately after that, republicans pulled off another impressive face plant. they immediately went into a vote on a stand-alone bill for aid to israel, which they wanted separated out for funding for ukraine and other national security spending. the plan was to pass as has a kind of symbolic gesture and then to try democrats for not getting on board. but then that bill failed to pass. on this one was not razor thin. it wasn't even close. it failed by 30 votes. that is thanks in large part to speaker johnson's inability to overcome opposition in his own party caucus. so now, republicans are talking about trying again to impeach the homeland security secretary. they want to hold another vote next tuesday. why then? it is kind of a deadline. you see, that is the special election day and new york's third congressional district, where residents that are voting to replac

texas democrats famously did it to try to stop a huge power grab by republicans in texas.r parties have done it. the difference here is that there are now consequences for doing it. oregon voters overwhelmingly voted to change their state's constitution to say, okay, from here forward in our state, there will be consequences for you if you do this over and over again. you will not be allowed to run for office again. and even after voters changed the state constitution to say that, the republicans in the legislature just kept doing it. and so now, their actions inevitably have produced consequences, very predictable consequences, but they're still shocking consequences. the oregon supreme court has now ruled unanimously that sure enough, these republican senators, ten republican senators, are no longer legally allowed to run for re-election. they plainly and deliberately violated the newly amended state constitution. so they can't run again. and obviously, this is a huge deal in that state. this is almost all the republicans. this is fully a third of the state senate that h

the texas democratic congressman our green was in the hospital recovering from emergency abdominal surgeryhe knew how important this vote was. congressman green uber to the capitol, went to the attending physician's office at the capitol to make sure his blood pressure and temperature was stable, and they voted from a wheelchair wearing his blue hospital clothes. big fail for johnson and the republicans. so one week later, they decided to try the impeachment again, and this time they succeeded by one vote. and for what? this is where this effort likely ends, because there's no chance that the senate is going to convict mayorkas innate impeachment trial. let me be very very clear about this. secretary mayorkas has committed no high crimes or misdemeanors. you may strenuously disagree with the policy that he is carrying out, but that is not a valid reason to impeach somebody. that is a reason to vote against the president, who appointed them in the election and then except the outcome of that election, which is asking a lot of republicans these days. impeachment is not supposed to be a tool

you know, the four biggest states are california, new york, florida and texas, california and new york. democratic majority or super texas and florida are republican majority held. people are leaving places like new york and california in droves to to texas and florida. and yet, i think particularly a new york perspective, from a libertarian perspective, which i share, i see some things there that are good and other things that are atrocious. but are those models of governance that actually fit into your concept of giving people more meaningful choices, their life, more accountability politically? are they, you know, an alternative or a vision of, a flourishing society? it's interesting. so, you know, i'm not an expert in florida or texas law clearly don't have the level of taxes or the or the kind of of bureaucratic tangle that that that affects states like california and new york. so so that's good. but don't nor do they have great schools, you know, and lotteries so that they still suffer from what i'll call this philosophy problem. you know, you still even in those states to to create systems
