Because you need 2/3 of 432 sitting members to vote to expel them, or 288. Dems hold 222 seats, so they'd need 66 out of 73 non-seditionist GOP to vote to expel any of the other 138.
So you'd need 90% of the non-seditionist GOP to vote to expel any of the others.

I can't imagine that any of the 138 seditionists would have the chutzpah to expel any of the *other* seditionists for being "MORE seditionist-y than I am!"
TO CLARIFY: I'm talking about a scenario where no sitting member of Congress is actually charged in the coup attempt.

If any of them are arrested, then the odds of a chunk of non-seditionist GOP members cutting them loose increases dramatically, and if they're convicted...
And of course every one which *is* expelled or resigns lowers the 2/3 bar slightly for others as well...

acasignups.net/21/01/16/weekl…
Counties w/highest per capita rate of #COVID19 *cases*:
1. Crowley County, CO
2. Dewey County, SD

6. Lake County, TN

2/
At least 20% of the population of all 10 of these counties has tested positive for #COVID19. It's 28.5% in Crowley County, CO. Yes, there's a prison there, which likely accounts for most of the outbreak. They're still people.

📣 THREAD: @JoeBiden is rolling 2 major #ACA2.0 provisions into the #AmericanRescuePlan! 1/
acasignups.net/21/01/15/joe-b…
Along with a whole mess of other important stuff, the #AmericanRescuePlan also includes two key parts of Biden's larger healthcare plan (with the remainder to be included in a later bill after he, you know, actually takes office):
1. #KillTheCliff
2. #BeefUpTheSubs 2/
Currently, #ACA enrollees pay between 2-10% of their income in premiums up to 400% of the federal poverty line (FPL)...but if you earn more than that (around $51K/yr if you're single; around $105K/yr for a family of four), you receive *no* assistance & have to pay full price. 3/

⚠️ Welp. Seema Verma had a choice: Properly review & respond to every #NBPP2022 comment...or do a sloppy rush job before 1/20/21. Guess which route she chose?
acasignups.net/21/01/14/seema…
Every year CMS proposes various tweaks/changes to how the ACA is actually implemented called the Notice of Benefit & Payment Parameters (NBPP). Some are minor. Some are major. Some are good, some neutral, some evil.

2022's have a mix, but the evil ones are REALLY evil. 2/
The NBPP has to allow for a public comment period before it can be finalized. Usually this is 30 days. In this case, Verma tried to ram it through on short notice; only 26 days of public comment, which of course included Christmas eve/day. 3/

Um...no.
It was a stupid movie, and Trump never should've been in it in the first place (he was a racist piece of shit even then), but this would set as bad a precedent as removing the World Trade Center from movies/TV shows *set prior to 9/11*.
If they ever did a *remake* of Home Alone 2 you obviously wouldn't include that scene, but I find it hard to believe anyone's begging for a remake of it anyway.
Let me put it this way...after 9/11 there was even a movement to CHANGE THE TITLE of "The Two Towers", which was an adaptation of a novel published 20 years before the WTC was even built. Image

No biggie. Just a point-blank allegation of multiple fellow members of Congress directly involved in the attempted kidnapping and/or mass murder of members of Congress coming from a former military pilot and prosecutor.
Or as we like to say in 2021, “Tuesday evening.”
For anyone thinking she might make this accusation lightly: Besides being a Lieutenant Commander in the Navy...

"In 2015 Sherrill became an Assistant United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, a federal prosecutor." 👀
