Congress is the opposite of a startup, but if I had to compare, Congress is like a startup where the exec team never stops arguing over the product roadmap.

They focus on parts of the roadmap that they think will impress their board and help them keep their jobs. Meanwhile their employees are furiously drafting the actual roadmap and making sure to include things that could help their careers or help them make extra side hustle.

1. C'est le jour de la marmotte au #Congrès avec l'invraisemblable #FeuilletonKevin depuis mardi. #McCarthy n'arrive pas à atteindre les 218 voix même après 11 scrutins ?! Il a fait de nouvelles concessions... Mais il a des ennemis qui ne renoncent pas.

Feuilleton #McCarthy le rebelle Chip Roy propose la candidature du Byron Reynolds un des rares Ă©lus noirs chez les RĂ©publicains.
La stratégie est double : effacer le stigmate raciste d’un groupe très à droite // faire signe à ceux qui comme Reynolds pourrait abandonné #McCarthy
Le vote commence mais il semble clair que l’impasse va continuer.
