It was 20 years ago today
Capitol Hill had a turbulent display

December 19, 1998 (Sat.):
*House impeached President Bill Clinton
*Speaker-designate Bob Livingston made stunning resignation announcement
*Denny Hastert emerged as consensus pick for Speaker. 1/
~9:45 am, Livingston stuns House, addressing Clinton from House floor: "You, sir, may resign your post. [Some Democrats call out, "You resign!"] ... And I can only challenge you in such fashion if I am willing to heed my own words."
c-span.org/video/?c476867… 2/
~1:25 pm: House adopted 1st impeachment article (perjury/grand jury), 228-206.
clerk.house.gov/evs/1998/roll5… 3/

5 Rs voted No: Houghton (NY), King (NY), Morella (MD), Shays (CT), Souder (IN)
5 Ds voted Yes: Goode (VA), Hall (TX), McHale (PA), Stenholm (TX), Gene Taylor (MS)

Defining “Socialist” isn’t hard. You just have to read their work & listen to their leaders

And what you’ll find is frightening

Worse yet, the Dem Socialists of America (DSA) actually has a good shot of gaining power if we don’t wake up & fight back

Let’s read their plan: 1/17
.@DemSocialists want to abolish capitalism and transfer ownership of “essential” industries / related businesses to the govt or worker committees.

Why?

“Wealth is a social creation and should be controlled by society as a whole.”

(bit.ly/2vfQ7E5)
DSA’ers are squishy when defining which industries they’d nationalize. But the list touches every possible business, from food to electronics

Workers would then vote on which role is best for them, similar to the disastrous experiment at Zappos in 2016. (bit.ly/2DKlGNd)

Whoa - heads up:

The surprise session on constitutional amendments *now also includes* a bill to retroactively change election rules in order to help the GOP win a state Supreme Court election. It makes one of two R's run as Unaffiliated.

It's happening right now. #ncpol
Two Republicans and one Democrat are running for the state Supreme Court. This would retroactively change the rules in a way that would result in one of the Republicans (the non-incumbent) being listed as Unaffiliated.
This bill became public within the last 90 minutes and has already passed through committee. I'm now being called to the floor to vote on it. They are going to steamroll this.

New #PA Congressional map is pretty much the best one Democrats could have hoped for. At least 2 pickups in neutral environment, likely ability to win 11 in current D+6 environment. Post coming
PA redraw creates map that is almost entirely drawn from scratch. Huge shifts from 2016 plan all over the place. Dems favored to win 9 seats there in almost any national environment.
(big swings mostly from renumbering, but aggregate differences are clear)
