Today is Tuesday, December 9, 2025. Today there was a revolt orchestrated in the House by several prominent female congresswomen against the frightful leadership of MAGA Mike Johnson. In an online USA Today article written by Natalie Neysa Alund, this rebellion receives center stage. The article is entitled “‘Hard truth:’ Nancy Mace says Pelosi was a better House speaker.” Oooh, that must hurt!

The Republican congresswoman who offered the bitter truth about Johnson’s horrible House Leadership was Republican Nancy Mace of South Carolina who said, Rep. Nancy Pelosi “was a more effective Speaker than any Republican this century.” She argued that her own traitorous party should learn from her leadership and she claimed that the party is marginalizing rank-and-file members, including women. That’s not hard to believe considering their awful handling of the Epstein files and the inescapable fact that their Supreme Leader is a raging misogynist.

Mace recently published an op-ed for The New York Times yesterday in which she wrote she came to Congress five years ago “believing I could make a difference for my constituents, for South Carolina, and for a country I love deeply.” She unfortunately learned “the system in the House promotes control by party leaders over accountability and achievement.”

Mace, 48, became the first Republican woman elected to Congress from the state in 2021 and has criticized the toddler in chief over the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack. Regrettably, she has since become one of his staunchest allies.

The South Carolina congresswoman asserted in her op-ed that there are so many obstacles placed in anyone’s way that “any member who came to Washington with noble intentions [must] ask: ‘Why am I even here?'”

Nancy Pelosi, who served as a former House speaker, announced her retirement in November, serving two stints as the highest-ranking member of Congress, first from 2007-2011 and again from 2019-2023. She was a staunch opponent of the Orange Turd when he was first in office. Who could forget the time she shredded the madman’s State of the Union address in front of cameras throughout the world when he finished his speech?

Pelosi’s time in office led to two impeachments of Drumpf, organized efforts to convince former President Joe Biden to drop his bid for a second term, and pushed through the Affordable Care Act, the biggest expansion of health care in a half-century.

Mace called her claims about Pelosi and House control “a hard truth Republicans don’t want to hear.” On August 4, Mace launched a campaign for the South Carolina gubernatorial race. So here it seems as if she’s looking for a graceful exit from Congress by pursuing the governorship of her state.

Mace was quite ruthless when it came to criticizing her party, saying, “When Democrats hold the majority, they ram through the most progressive policies they can. They deliver for the coalition that elected them while they are in power.”

Republicans, on the other hand, Mace deplored, do the very opposite.

“We get the majority, then become petrified of losing it. We pass the most moderate policies we can pressure conservatives to accept, betraying the coalition that delivered us here. Ms. Pelosi was ruthless, but she got things done. The current House is restrictive and ineffective, control with barely any results. Republican leadership seems intent on replicating her model of consolidation without her bold vision to push through the policies that won us the majority.”

Mace cited a meager statistic when it comes to introducing bills on the House floor this year. She said only 5 percent of the bills introduced this year have seen a floor vote.

She concluded, “What we have now is the worst of all worlds: little accountability, transparency, and results.”

The entire unworthy GOP should truly heed her words here; they cannot continue to go down the rabbit hole of ineptitude, but indeed, if they do, they will easily lose their supermajority next year in a tsunami of Democratic wins. It will just demonstrate to them that just winning elections to retain power without delivering to constituents isn’t enough to maintain control of Congress. Supermajorities are not permanent, as Rep. Nancy Pelosi stated in response to Mace’s criticism of her party.

This just in: coming on the heels of Nancy Mace’s openly critical takedown of her own party, today Democrats flipped the Miami mayor’s seat, electing the first Democrat in 30 years. This cannot be good news for the party of Johnson. The Democrat, Eileen Higgins, defeated the red hat repugnican who was endorsed by the liar in chief, and that loss really says something about the cachet of this lying, psychopathic president. Higgins gave Democrats a boost in one of the last electoral battles ahead of the 2026 midterms.

The only thing I’ll report about today is the brief conversation Elliot and I had with our Guatemalan house cleaner, “Lareto.” We scheduled her to work in the apartment around 10, so we had to wake up earlier than usual: 8:30. She arrived actually a little earlier than 10, around 9:45, and we welcomed her into our cozy abode. At some point, the conversation steered itself to her fears about going out because of what the Dump regime is doing with immigrants. She indicated she doesn’t like going out to Long Island where ICE agents have conducted recent raids.

Lareto’s fears are sadly well founded since the Orange Menace retook office and has embarked on a very un-American campaign of terror against undocumented immigrants. This is just one example of how the regime’s policies have affected someone close to me. Now I can’t say I don’t know anyone who has been touched by the cruelty of this regime’s agenda.

And so it went!
