  1. Trump's polling numbers are gonna drop some more with Walz joining the Harris ticket.

    What can Trump do? If he drops Vance, it's just gonna depress his numbers further.

    Can't remember ever having this much fun with a political campaign!

  2. CW: #USPolitics George Santos

    I completely understand why Republicans don't want to kick out Santos, potentially putting NY-3 in danger. But why on earth would they give Democrats the gift of voting against the expulsion by a majority, but not w enough votes to prevent it. That just seems like a spectacularly mismanaged vote. #GOPinDisarray

  3. If we weren't teetering on the brink of a fascist takeover this would all be so entertaining. As it stands, it's just hilarifying.

  4. Even the most wingnutty Repubs have been so embarrassed by all the drama that they don't want a shutdown--and see it as a good way to lose the House--but they can't get together on a GOP bill and they've created this monster that won't allow them to pass a clean CR with Dem votes. Total clusterfuck.

    Deadlines tend to focus the mind but I'll be very (pleasantly) surprised if they do avert a shutdown.

  5. Generic political dysfunction and not one chamber of Congress being controlled by a party whose members call each other "whores" and whine to the press that they're "ungovernable."

    The story mentions "the ouster of the House Speaker" but the word "Republican" does not appear anywhere in the text.

  6. Republicans usually try to blunt some of the blowback they get when they shut down the government by passing a resolution that says military service members still get paid but they can’t do that, or keep national parks open or whatever, if nobody has the power to bring bills to the floor. #gop #GOPinDisarray

  7. Jordan's dropping out, per Jake Sherman. Backing giving McHenry power to bring legislation to the floor until January.

    Now McHenry can do what needs to be done to keep the government open, and Jordan can trash him as a RINO for it for a few months and then maybe try again.

  8. YOUR TAX DOLLARS HARD AT WORK!

    Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said he doesn’t expect another vote for speaker to happen today but insists he’s staying in the race, Punchbowl News reports.

    Some of Jordan’s opponents told CNN they’ve been purposely staggering their “no” votes over multiple ballots — a strategy designed to show Jordan’s speakership opposition is only growing.

  9. “Multiple Republicans are predicting that Rep. Jim Jordan would lose even more votes if or when he moves to a third ballot,” Politico reports.

  10. FWIW, Patrick McHenry is very right-wing but he is also one of only 72 House Republicans who did not vote against certifying the 2020 election results. Giving him the full powers of the Speakership 4 weeks before the government shuts down may be the best option.

  11. Jordan just went down in the 2nd round of voting, and they were still the Ds of the roll call. #gopindisarray #speaker

  12. There are very few moderates in this very right-wing GOP caucus but FWIW, and everything being relative, Patrick McHenry has a DW-NOMINATE* score that places him pretty close to its center. He's a wingnut for sure, but his voting record is more conservative than 55% of the Republican caucus.

    For perspective, Scalise's record is more conservative than 80% of House Republicans, and Jordan's is further right than 95% of the caucus.

  13. A vote for Jim Jordan is almost certainly a vote for a shutdown in like 30 days. That should probably be mentioned in some of the reporting on this shitshow.

  14. There were more than 5 right-wing wackadoodles actively hoping for a shutdown so unless they empower McHenry to move legislation and a Speaker pro tem could somehow negotiate at least a CR that's reconcilable with the Senate's, they just have to keep voting down every nominee for a few more weeks to get their wish.

    What a shitshow.

  15. Offer 50 Dem votes for a GOP Speaker who voted to certify the election and will bring Ukraine/ Israel aid to the floor, negotiate a budget that can be reconciled w/ the Senate’s and put the impeachment inquiry to a vote. Do it publicly.

    It’s good politics and you never know. There are a lot of GOP reps who are desperately looking for a lifeline.

  16. I'd be enjoying some serious Schadenfreude over the GOP's complete and utter dysfunction if not for a looming shutdown, vital foreign aid being blocked and the fact that it makes this country look ridiculous. It's really quite destructive. #gop #gopindisarray #maga

  17. Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) is trying to hold out on the debt limit now, when he should really be shutting the fuck up.

    He's a traitor who should charged with sedition and to serve the full 20 years in prison.
