House Republicans moved on Tuesday to block Democrats from forcing votes on the Trump administration’s use of Signal, potential conflicts of interest involving Elon Musk and other controversial topics.
The move by the conference — which was approved in a 216-208 vote — marks the latest instance of Republicans using procedural rules, which govern debate for legislation, to shield President Trump.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) defended the effort shortly before its approval Tuesday, saying the conference was “using the rules of the House to prevent political hijinks and political stunts.”

I fucking hate these corrupt rats.
Does this stuff even break through in conservative circles? The signal scandal was unpopular across the board. I’d have to imagine blocking this would also be unpopular but I have no idea if the right even knows this stuff happens anymore.
