16. The House leadership is working a deal

Monday

To probably expel Swalwell and that Texas Republican at the same time, read about it yesterday. It would be an even trade with no impact on voting power in the House.

There’s also another Florida Republican that is accused of something and that female Democrat who is indicted federally for stealing COVID money, they might oust all 4 at the same time.
