I spent the day in the House press gallery, watching the drama below unfold, and I wish I could adequately describe the body language of Kevin McCarthy. Reporter Jonathan Allen, who’s been covering the Hill longer than I have, was sitting to my right, and he offered up this attempt: “He looks like he swallowed a bag of knives.” That sounded about right to me.
Thanks for all the details. I felt like I was in the gallery, with you giving the play by play.
Republicans know how to play hardball, the so-called Democrats do not. Those Democrats that call themselves Progressive should have been playing hardball with the Corporate Dems for the last two to four years, but they cannot. Why can't they? Because most are not progressive, and almost all of them are kissing the rings of their campaign donors.
Love hearing about what a train wreck the GOP house is. Wish AOC had done the same with Pelosi..
BTW - I was banned by Twitter. I have not made a single tweet since Musk took over the platform but i was banned none the less. Prior to Musks take over i had dunked on him a half a dozen or so times and never violated old Twitters terms of engagement.
I guess being Liberal is now banned on Twitter unless you have a lot of followers. I am not the only one this has happened to since Musk took over
"The idea being kicked around the Hill now is that perhaps there could be a face-saving ceremonial speaker like Rep. Hal Rogers, the longest serving member of the House, or the retiring Fred Upton, and real power would be vested in the hands of the majority leader. "

Hello, can you tell us why subscribers are seeing a classified add at the bottom of the post?
I have to say that I fully expected some Democrats to push McCarthy over the top.
"The idea being kicked around the Hill now is that perhaps there could be a face-saving ceremonial speaker like Rep. Hal Rogers, the longest serving member of the House, or the retiring Fred Upton, and real power would be vested in the hands of the majority leader. "
And the majority leader will be ?
