  1. The Speaker of the House of Representatives is a prominent political figure in the legislative branch of the United States government. This individual presides over the House of Representatives, which is one of the two chambers of the U.S. Congress. The Speaker's role is to manage and guide the legislative process within the House, as well as represent the House in its relations with the President and the Senate. The Speaker is typically a member of the majority party in the House and is elected by fellow representatives. The Speaker's duties include maintaining order during debates, recognizing members who wish to speak, deciding on points of order, and influencing the legislative agenda. Additionally, the Speaker is second in line, after the Vice President, in the presidential line of succession.

It involves a group of individuals or a faction challenging the established order through force, often with the goal of overthrowing the existing government or authority. Insurrections can take various forms, including armed conflicts, protests, or acts of defiance aimed at destabilizing or undermining the existing political or social order. The term is commonly associated with actions that go beyond peaceful dissent and involve open resistance or rebellion against established institutions.

  6. Leader Jeffries: Mike Johnson voted to overturn the 2020 election. He wants to end Social Security and Medicare as we know it. He, probably more than any other member of the House GOP, wants to impose a nationwide abortion ban

  7. No judge should ever rule on a case involving rich people & no politician should ever vote on a bill that could affect rich people if they know a rich person or ever got a contribution from a rich person. Rich people own both of the political organizations & it is all corrupt.
