Se avevate conservato il pallottoliere, ora coraggio: riprendetelo.
Se vi eravate messi l'anima in pace, spalancate le porte al caos.
Se pensavate che fosse tutto finito, esultate (o disperate).

un'altra notte "movimentata".
Lo #Speaker uscito vincitore dalla battaglia parlamentare più infuocata degli ultimi 164 anni è chiamato ad affrontare il primo vero test sulla tenuta della sua leadership. In gioco c'è l'approvazione del pacchetto di regole per il 118° Congresso

I was waiting for the results of the 14th vote on #Speaker when I saw Kevin #McCarthy walking toward us.

Within seconds, a confrontation and fight broke out. Just a few feet from me, a newly elected member eager to get sworn in and start a job I’ve dreamed of doing for years.
It all happened on the floor of the House of Representatives, in the waning moments of #January6th and the second anniversary of the violent attack on our Capitol.

The whole thing made me sick to my stomach.
What we witnessed was such selfish, chaotic behavior - and by the very people who would take the reins of the House moments later.

These are the folks in charge now.

1/ This fight over @GOPLeader isn't really about McCarthy (though for some of the 20 it is). What this is about is the pending #debt ceiling fight likely in February. Here's what's going on (a thread)...
@GOPLeader 2/ 'Twas the night before Xmas (not exactly but close enough) & all thru the night, lobbyists were skulking the decorated hall of Congress, looking for handouts for their special interests. Everyone on Capitol Hill wanted to go home for the holidays so, w/o much debate,
@GOPLeader 3/ A group of elected officials pushed through a $1.7 Trillion spending bill w/o debate or even so much of a "Dear Colleague" letter. It was imperious. What upset some on the Hill the most was that the spending bill was chock full of goodies for Left-wing special interests.

Le député africain-républicain John James (Michigan) rappelle qu’une élection aussi tourmentée n’a eu lieu qu’en 1855/56 au sujet de l’abolition de l’esclavage qu’il contraste avec les peccadilles actuelles. Il soutient #Kevin « pour mener la nation dans le bon sens »

giocando la partita della vita. E per ora la sta perdendo.
Rapido quadro della situazione: la maggioranza del Gop alla Camera è risicata: 222 seggi contro i 212 dei Democratici. Per diventare speaker, ovvero presidente della Camera, McCarthy ha bisogno di 218 voti. Questo

significa che può perdere per strada solo 4 voti. C'è un problema: una frangia di deputati Repubblicani radicali (non che McCarthy sia un "moderato", è pur sempre vicinissimo a Donald #Trump) composta da Andy #Biggs (Arizona), Matt #Gaetz (Florida), Bob #Good (Virginia), Matt

As the dust settles on the civilian coup here are a few key takeaways: 1) #IK has lost morally and politically. the #Opposition wanted the #selectedPM out and new elections, and this will happen. #IK dragged his feet but eventually this has been the result. 1/n
2) Beyond politics, #IK has now clearly undermined the #Constitution, the Supreme National Institution. Article 95 is a self contained provision, which gives the #Speaker no power once leave has been granted for #VoNC. A vote has to be done, no matter what. 2/n
3) Article 69 is about matters of procedure in Legislature and doesn't apply if the Speaker decides to throw out the Constitution itself. Imagine if the Speaker decides to not count the votes of Women or non-Muslim MNAs? Would that be allowed by the SC. 3/n

THREAD on Friday's parliamentary crisis in #Mogadishu and broadly #Somalia's existing #electoral turmoil. I discuss what happened, and towards the end, I offer a possible electoral solution for a way forward. 1/17
At stake are two issues: did #Speaker #Mursal and opposition MPs follow the parliamentarian procedures, and does the speaker have the authority, under the parliament's rules & regulations, to suspend the 15 opposition MPs for 5 seating? Second, where do we go from here? 2/17
The speaker cited Art. 16 (1,2); Art. 18 (a, b); Art. 19 - 1 (b, c, d, e, f, g) & Art. 28-5 (n). Most of the above articles deal with the speaker's powers, the deputies, and governs' behaviors/conduct of legislators when parliament is in session. 3/17

#Rajasthan hearing commences in the #SupremeCourt.

Sr adv Kapil Sibal, Vivek Tankha, Devadatt Kamath appear for the Speaker.
Sibal starts by saying high court cannot 'direct' the Speaker and hence #Rajasthan HC was wrong in issuirj a direction to the Speaker.

"This is against settled law on this point."

#RajasthanPoliticalCrisis
Sibal reads out from Kihoto Hollohan verdict of the #SupremeCourt in 1992 on the 10th Schedule.

He seeks to make a point that while the Speaker's decision on disqualification is subject to judicial review but not anything that happens before.

Saya setuju sekiranya penyingkiran speaker Dewan Rakyat, Tan Sri Mohammad Ariff Md Yusof dan Timbalannya Nga Kor Ming dilakukan kerana kedua duanya dilihat tidak neutral.
Tan Sri Ariff contohnya, mempunyai anak yang bekerja sebagai pegawai politik kepada Lim Guan Eng. Ini boleh menyebabkan beliau sukar untuk berlaku adil ketika mempengerusikan sidang parlimen.
Beliau dan Nga Kor Ming juga dilihat gagal mengawal ahli parlimen PH seperti Rayer Jelutong tetapi begitu keras terhadap ahli parlimen BN dan PAS.

1] Received the news of the demise of #Burundi #Pres #PierreNkuruzinza with mixed feelings.

Whereas i immediately felt compassion for his loved one, can't help but feel ashamed as an #African.

Like many others, his #Presidency captured what is wrong with #African #politics. Image
2] For those not aware, #PresNkuruzinza had just finished his controversial 3rd term which began in 2015.

Many #Burundians were massacred for opposing his last term.

He had become obsessed with his #Presidency like many other #African despots.

Ofcourse #AU just watched. Image
3] Before #PresNkuruzinza stepped down, he pushed #Burundi into an election in the middle of #covid_19

He recklessly held rallies all over #Burundi

@WHO officials who cautioned his reckless conduct where simply expelled from #Burundi.

For him, #covid_19 was just a distraction. Image

Practising Acting sessions in UX bay help overcome reservations among peers. It also helps to act stepping in the shoes of the user evaluating behavioural empathy.

Acting exposes vulnerability of every person in the group and nurture acceptance, thus it is a good team building exercise that bring people close and teaches about mutual respect.

Attendees at #AWS2019 have asked for my slides. They don’t stand alone, but I’m happy to share. My core message: @WomenSurgeons experts are professionally less visible and under-compensated, but we can change that. ImageImageImageImage
If someone leaves your talk with this ‘take-home’, it’s a #FAIL.

Of course you know your stuff. But does the *audience* know something new? Something useful? Something actionable?

That’s what real success looks like for a #speaker.

@WomenSurgeons #WomenInMedicine Image
Forget building your talk around key points. Have a true purpose that’s relevant to your audience. Connect every slide and every story to that purpose.

What is the new future - what will the audience do differently and better when they leave the room? ImageImage
