In check, cant pass legislation, cant keep a speaker, theres got to be a better way. Except it isnt an infomercial and there doesnt seem to be a better way because House Republicans have a Governing Majority so narrow, it is doubtful theres anyone in the gop who can get away with disregarding the most extreme elements of the party. In other words, someone who can pass legislation without being held hostage by the likes of matt gaetz. A budget, which is coming due in a quick 31 working days. There is, of course, one option.

Vineland, 17. Atlantic city at 20. The numbers will level out as we go throughout the night. The wind, which plays a big factor in a feelslike temperature, are starting to weaken. Earlier today gusts were consistently between 30 and 40 Miles Per Hour. Gusts are not reporting in any locations except for wildwood at just 22 miles an hour. It will be cold enough so that any flakes that do fall will stick to the ground. First off, ill say no snow day, kids. There will be snow on the ground when you wake up in the morning.
