Massie, though Republican, is also not a locked in vote for the administration’s prioritiesLame duck phase may start before the November election.
With the sudden passing of Doug LaMalfa the Republican majority narrows to 2 seats, and the upcoming special election in New Jersey may further narrow that down to 1.
This would mean Mike Johnson cannot lose a single vote from any Republican to pass bills.
There are also several Republicans leaving office early very soon on top of all of this.

MAGA could care less. The fact that some here defend that is gross.I honestly don't know if the MAGA base even realizes that NATO was 100% there for them after the 9/11 attacks.

And even here on the forum, you will be accused of "TDS" for opening calling out and criticizing those who support his every move, even while he literally spits on the sacrifices NATO soldiers have made to help defend America, as if it never happened.
He's going to be chewing rocks when he learns that the president's "budget" is actually just a budget request, and that Congress decides what parts of his wish-list get funded.So he wants to raise the United States' military budget by $500 billion.
