Freedom Caucus on alert for possible moves against it by GOP leaders

The Floor Action Response Team, shorthanded as "FART," aims to guard against an unannounced request to pass resolutions that would limit the group's leverage.

Conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus are signing up to take shifts to monitor the chamber floor in order to prevent their own party leaders from making unilateral moves that could curb their power.

Actually, that's not complete reporting, Olivia. I have a source that tells me it's the Wrong Every Time Floor Action Response Team - WETFART

The #WETFART team is a loud and slippery crew. Beware.

Taking up shifts? Why don't they all go all the time? Isn't it kind of like a job?

Oh, I thought maybe you were taking applications. I came over here to sign up. If it does become a thing, I would definitely be an asset.

Will there be a new bipartisan coalition to reduce the attempted dictatorship of the Putin Wing of the House Republican Party?

Time will tell...

"were granted anonymity to speak candidly." So happy to "see" the repubs so hard at work for the American people, even if it is all in secret.

Those taking up shifts for the House Freedom Caucus are known as "FART faces".
