I might be wrong but doesn't the progressive caucus have like 12 members? Or am I confusing them with the Justice Democrats?

Back when republicans held 236 seats then yes, those 33 freedom caucus members actually needed to consent to pass stuff along party lines. The thing is that they were able to control the house from the backseat for 8 years and it might be a shock for them that their votes aren't worth jackshit anymore. If the Progressive Caucus starts making problems for Pelosi then she might reach across the isle into the Tuesday Group but she sure as shit will never court the Freedom Caucus. |

I thought you were referring to Justice Democrats and I thought that they had 12 seats. I was wrong both times. You were not referring to Justice Democrats and they actually have 7 seats. Either with 7 seats or 12 seats, they do not have power to hold the House Representatives hostage the way the Freedom Caucus did. That is what I thought.... However, the Progressive Caucus has 95 members, so they can actually do that. OK
