Ms. Que Banh<p>I've been doing more healing work to recover from being abusively <a href="https://beige.party/tags/blindsided" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blindsided</span></a> by a jealous woman who I have never even met but had attempted to psychologically <a href="https://beige.party/tags/blackmail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackmail</span></a> my companion, after faking being nice to me. I never expected to be <a href="https://beige.party/tags/suckerpunched" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>suckerpunched</span></a> by a woman I've never even met in person. It shook me. It traumatized me. It was NOT OK.</p><p>Never ever defend <a href="https://beige.party/tags/abusive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abusive</span></a> people who have violated <a href="https://beige.party/tags/boundaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boundaries</span></a> multiple times &amp; harmed multiple people, intentionally.</p>

Chuck Darwin<p>House Republicans are panicking about their shrinking majority after Rep. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ken" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ken</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Buck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Buck</span></a> (R-Colo.) said he will <a href="https://c.im/tags/resign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resign</span></a> at the end of next week, stunning GOP leadership.<br>Why it matters: Republicans' razor-thin margins have created headaches throughout the 118th Congress<br> — empowering hardliners, causing embarrassing defeats on key votes, and even contributing to the ouster of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).</p><p>The intrigue: Members of Republican leadership said they were <a href="https://c.im/tags/blindsided" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blindsided</span></a> by Buck's sudden announcement.<br> "I was surprised by Ken's announcement — I look forward to talking with him about that," House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters.<br> House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said: "I haven't gotten to talk to him. He wasn't on the floor but I'm curious to see why he's leaving early."</p><p>By the numbers: Republicans will have 218 seats to Democrats' 213 after Buck leaves, meaning the <br>👉GOP can lose just two of their members on any given party-line vote.<br> The resignations of McCarthy and Rep. Bill Johnson (R-Ohio) — as well as the expulsion of Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) and the loss of his seat to Democrats — have led Republicans to this point.<br> A <a href="https://c.im/tags/special" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>special</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/election" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>election</span></a> in April to replace Rep. Brian Higgins (D-N.Y.) will likely net Democrats another seat.<br> Republicans are then poised to win the May and June elections to replace McCarthy and Johnson, respectively. <br>Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said he intends to set the special election to fill Buck's seat for June 25.</p><p>What they're saying: "It lowers the margin and that creates an obvious challenge for leadership," Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.) told Axios of Buck's resignation.<br> "I am concerned about the majority," said Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), adding, "I just wish the rest of our party was."<br> House Rules Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said of Buck's decision: "Obviously, it makes the numbers that much tougher."</p><p>Reality check: House Republicans have🔹 dispensed with many party-line votes out of fear of right-wing defections.🔹<br> Major bills are now routinely being passed through a process known as "<a href="https://c.im/tags/suspension" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>suspension</span></a>," which requires a two-thirds majority for votes to succeed.</p><p>Between the lines: What Buck's resignation means in practice is that "if it can go wrong, it probably will go wrong —&nbsp;at the worst time," Womack explained.<br> On any given vote, he said, Republicans could be hobbled by "absences, through travel or illness or family hardship or whatever."</p><p><a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/03/12/republican-retire-house-gop" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">axios.com/2024/03/12/republica</span><span class="invisible">n-retire-house-gop</span></a></p>
