Summary
House Speaker Mike Johnson erupted after failing to block a bipartisan proxy voting bill allowing parental leave for lawmakers.
Despite once voting by proxy himself, Johnson called it “unconstitutional,” revealing GOP resistance to family-friendly policies.
Critics say this aligns with Trump-era efforts to push women out of public life, consistent with Project 2025’s goal of restoring “traditional families.”
Johnson’s move, including canceling House activity, exposed the contradiction in the GOP’s “pro-family” stance and highlighted deeper hostility to workplace flexibility and women’s equality.
Will you commit to paying alimony when you decide to marry your secretary? Fuck depending on your spouse, thst’s insane.
What are you talking about? Who has a secretary and is thinking of marrying them?
My spouse and I depend on each other. We’re a team. We’re coequal partners. I think it’s insane not to see marriage that way. We each are individually strong, but even stronger together. Making money isn’t the only thing that can be done to support the family.
