Mitch McConnell voted 23 times to deny Americans sick leave. Then he took 92 days himself and got paid $45,000 for days he never showed up for. He's still being paid from his wheelchair. Nonverbal and he still gobbling up tax payer dollars. He voted six times against raising the minimum wage.
Take a good look a the Republican party.

What a slap in the face. YOU COULDN’T BE BOTHERED TO EVEN VOTE. @TheDemocrats

11 Democrats missed the vote and are now blaming Republicans for the failure? The midterm celebration is over, and something is clearly amiss. When leadership's priorities are driven by outside agendas like AIPAC instead of showing up to hold a girls' school bomber accountable, we have to ask a hard question: Are we really going to keep blindly cheering for leaders who have a different agenda than ours? Something is fundamentally broken—and it needs to be fixed, fast.
OMG. "Traffic" - Did the dog eat their homework too?! Aren't they grown ups? Who doesn't sit their a _ _ in their seat 1 1/2 hours early to make SURE they're ready to vote?! If you're not 1/2 early to an appointment - you're late! Again, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Your failure to get to work on time will likely cost people their lives in an unnecessary war all because you can’t get to work on time!
You represent over 711,000 people and I hope each of them call to encourage you to leave early and show the fuck up for work.

I hate to say this, but there's not many people who believe you or the other ones.
Talk about a winning buzzkill.

For two days everyone knew the vote was at 5:30pm and that Republicans would use every tool they had in their toolbox to table the impeachment with a committee referral vote. Shame on you. The stakes are too big. You should have been in the chamber an hour early to vote, not an hour late due to "traffic". Did you go to the Merrick Garland School of Driving?

Traffic? Bullshit. You and the other 10 Dems who no-showed just handed Hegseth the win. The 11 own this failure. Do your job.

Tonight, House Republicans used a procedural motion to kill the impeachment of Pete Hegseth, by referring it to the Judiciary Committee.
Like other Members of Congress, Rep. Stansbury was blocked from entering the Capitol to vote due a traffic incident and a police escort of a bus during the vote. When she reached the chamber the vote had just gaveled out. She immediately filed a report of her vote of “NO” to the motion meant to kill the impeachment articles and refer them to the Judiciary Committee, as documented in the Congressional Record.
Pete Hegseth must be impeached now.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Despite this "traffic incident", 415 other members of the House were able to appear to vote.

The date and time of the procedure was known since November 9th.

Is Ohio’s 4th district a community filled with MAGA retirement and assisted living facilities? This man has never had a bill pass in the House after being there for 20 years and is involved in a sexual abuse scandal. How in the world did Gym Jordan get re-elected 🤣
