“#Speaker #MikeJohnson never called me,” Buck said. “[#KevinMcCarthy] would have yelled…&… #Boehner would have broken my arm.…”
The…defeat stunned many in the #House #GOP …, who were incredulous Johnson would roll the dice on such a consequential vote. It was the latest in a tenure marred by #chaos & frustration, w/members losing patience w/an inexperienced leader who…has made serious tactical missteps overseeing an unwieldy conference that even #Republicans admit may be impossible to corral.

#McCarthy suggests that Matt #Gaetz is not a real #conservative, after voting w/ #Democrats against #GOP spending bills. “It had nothing to do about spending," he said, adding, "It was all about getting attention.”
McCarthy says he “hasn’t thought about” #resigning from Congress. There is some precedent for that: When John #Boehner faced a motion to vacate in 2015, he relinquished the speaker’s gavel & resigned rather than face a vote on the #House floor.

white people trying to rehabilitate John #Boehner's reputation is a symptom of the sickness that allows the Republican Party and conservatives to retain so much power.

Nancy #Pelosi is stepping down as Speaker of the House.
A few years ago, when we made a #VEEP sketch for the White House Correspondent’s Dinner, the offices of all the politicos who took part in it (#Boehner; #Biden; M. #Obama) asked us to take jokes out. Pelosi, on the other hand, told us not to be so shy and to put more in.
Respect.
