#PeteAguilar: “The same individuals who fanned the flames of January 6th, told their followers that they needed to fight back, and challenged the swearing in of members based on a bogus claim of fake electors, may well be in charge of the people's House..." He appeals to his colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote for #HakeemJeffries who denounced the Big Lie. Boos from the Right. Voting underway, with Boebert voting “present”. #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

David Frum: “If reports are accurate, #McCarthy is on verge of selling out the country to a nihilist faction so he can briefly occupy a now-powerless office - then cash in for whatever he can get after this fiasco.” #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray #Insurrectionists #Extremists

13 is not #KevinMcCarthy’s lucky number. He loses again on the #13thBallot with six Republicans voting for someone else. Congress has adjourned until 10 p.m. EST. https://youtu.be/Xb6F6kIqlxw #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

The Lincoln Project:
“If GOPLeader #KevinMcCarthy had forced #Gaetz to step down after the sex scandals or had the guts to expel #Boebert when she put lives of her colleagues in danger on #Jan6th, he'd be Speaker by now.
The problem with sacrificing principles for power: you end up with neither.” #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray #Extremism #Fascism

#DonaldTrump says he won. He didn't. And today, he got 1. Which proves he's a loser yet again.

#KevinMcCarthy has lost the 11th ballot in his bid for Speaker. Only 122 more to go to beat the 1856 record. Kevin Hern received 7 votes, Donald Trump received one vote, and #HakeemJeffries won this round, as he has won all other rounds, with the full support of Democrats: 212 to McCarthy’s 200. The threshold is 218, so still no Speaker. House currently voting on whether to adjourn until noon tomorrow. #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

CW: US politics
Thinking of all the Americans who pooh-poohed #RankedChoice and PR systems for taking too long to come to a conclusion
#HouseSpeaker is currently on count 11 in a single-seat constituency and they are now starting to add the joke candidates that would have been eliminated after the 1st round under #PRSTV

Rep #JasonCrow “The lack of a House speaker is a national security issue. Members of the House Intelligence and Armed Services Committees aren’t receiving classified briefings or conducting oversight of NatSec agencies. Republicans must end the chaos!” #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray #NationalSecurity

Michael Beschloss: “Before today, it has been a century since a balloting for House Speaker went to nine ballots. We're seeing history being made today, but this history is not inspiring.” #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

The #EighthBallot was not the charm #KevinMcCarthy hoped it would be. Still no winner to take the gavel in the 118th congressional circle of hell. #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

The #SeventhBallot for #HouseSpeaker was much the same as the previous six, with one notable exception: #MattGaetz cast his vote for Donald John #Trump, reviving a MAGA fever dream of handing the gavel to the disgraced, twice-impeached former president who is currently under investigation for obstruction, insurrection, tax fraud and espionage. https://youtu.be/LcNFxG-70RM #USPol #GOPDisarray

What a contrast. Two weeks ago, Zelensky addressed a joint session of Congress in the House. The dignity on display in the chamber that day erupted in dysfunction today. “Big British Parliament energy without the intelligence.” - MSNBC #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

In a 216-214 vote, the House adjourns for the evening with Republicans celebrating their success in sparing Kevin McCarthy another embarrassing ballot loss today. No clue about their plans for tomorrow. Democrats wanted to continue voting, as they had been summoned back to the chamber. Republicans carried the vote to adjourn by the skin of their teeth. The session gavels out with an uproar on both sides. #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray #KevinMcCarthy

McCarthy says he is happy to set a new record for Speaker ballots. The current record is two months and 133 votes in 1856: https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/12/30/house-speaker-longest-vote/
Matt Gaetz signals that the group of 20 opposing McCarthy are also dug in for the long haul: “We could see the cherry blossoms bloom and not have a Speaker.”
House has reconvened after a three-hour break and is voting on a motion from Rep. Cole (R-OK) to adjourn.

Hakeem Jeffries:
“House Dems will continue to put people over politics.
Republicans are putting politics over the people.
And so America lacks a fully formed Congress for the first time in 100 years.”
