House Democrats are skeptical about Biden's call for working with ... (Business Insider)

President Joe Biden says moderate Republicans can help make a "significant majority" on Democratic priorities in the GOP-led House this Congress, ...

Jayapal said she's heard from some GOP representatives who say "they don't like the way the party is going and they actually want some bipartisan reforms." "I know as well as you, the MAGA Republicans are not going to get onboard for most of these things, but that leaves a lot of Republicans that are still left," Biden said. "You're gonna have a lot of Republicans running our way," he told House Democrats on Wednesday night. "I think it's gonna be difficult just given the dysfunction that we saw the very first week," said Rep. Biden delivered his optimistic message on bipartisanship this week to House Democrats gathered in Baltimore for an issues conference, saying the House passed bipartisan measures in the past and there's still work to be done this Congress on police and immigration reform, protecting voting rights and making Roe v. We're here to work for the American people whenever they are."

The performative politics of Marjorie Taylor Greene (The Hill)

The convergence of social media and performative politics has made Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) a dangerous social-media star.

[George Santos](https://thehill.com/people/george-santos/) [Marjorie Taylor Greene](https://thehill.com/people/marjorie-taylor-greene/) [Social media](https://thehill.com/social-tags/social-media/) [Campaign](https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/) [Campaign](https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/) [Campaign](https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/) [Campaign](https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/) [See All](https://thehill.com/opinion/campaign/) Show](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Morton_Downey_Jr._Show)” pioneered the genre of “trash television.” It featured political screaming matches, Downey’s signature phrase — “ [pablum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablum)-puking [liberal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism)” — and the jeering of followers who called themselves “Loudmouths.” They projected today’s MAGA rage before Trump commoditized it. Why not play the role of Member of Congress as if you’re a fictional character on [House of Cards](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1856010/)? I just don’t want someone who believes in the plot elements of a space-laser episode of [job approval](https://www.statista.com/statistics/207579/public-approval-rating-of-the-us-congress/) rating of 21 percent, partially because it isn’t defined by the many composed, constructive members legislating under the congressional rules of “regular order” but by a few celebrity wannabes whose fame depends on adrenalin-pumping disorder. [The lies](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3881305-house-ethics-committee-launches-george-santos-investigation/) of Rep. Like the line-up on one of those nostalgia television networks, she’ll become a cringe-worthy flicker of another time. As [David Letterman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Letterman) said, “ [I’m always amazed at what people will fall for.](https://www.yahoo.com/news/evocateur-morton-downey-jr-movie-141537222.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHnZ06j0pAB16D0kHmPQSKM-uva9oLgK24xa42VrK7MZUX1RbO5O2imiMLbn7s7bEi97sCuGttcfO1Tply3aMnyu9j6TOO348pR2BrkWsB2tVtNzE8y_wa77Cuxzd6JLmlfQTRGYDsQnSW1Jeho8PP41kvDbLnahFIeddGm5tIx4) We see this every 10 or 12 years, an attempt at this, and I guess from that standpoint I don’t quite understand why everybody’s falling over backwards over the guy.” Tom Shales, then The Washington Post’s TV critic, wrote of Downey: “Suppose a maniac got hold of a talk show. Why not [falsely claim ](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/12/29/george-santos-mother-911-death/)that your mother died on 9/11? Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), widely known as MTG, is firing away at our “united” states, in a series of declarations endorsing the separation of blue and red states. They judge success not by the number of bills they’ve passed but by the number of retweets they’ve gained. She’s the modern-day incarnation of Abbott and Costello — except that, in this case, we’re the vaudeville “straight men” and her lunacy gets all the attention.
