Hostage Taking

My congressional representative, Mike Gallagher, is the incoming chair of the House Select China Committee.  Yesterday he was unable to meet with Gen. Mark Milley, Chair of the Joint Chiefs in a SCIF because he's not yet officially a member of Congress.

Yup, he's a returning representative, but the House isn't officially in place because a handful of asshats who have no interest in governing won't vote to support Kevin McCarthy to be Speaker.

The net result is Gallagher doesn't have the requisite permission to see or discuss classified materials.  Their childish moving of the goalposts means my guy doesn't have the security clearance to do the people's work.

Suppose there is a national emergency or crisis?

Hold these hostage-takers responsible for bad outcomes.

Sheesh.....
