  2. #House Minority Leader #HakeemJeffries is using the so-called "magic minute" to speak for as long as he wants during debate.

    Also called the "leadership minute", it is a long-standing custom in the House that permits party leaders extended debate time on the floor.

    The record for the "magic minute" is >8 hours set by then #Republican Min Ldr #KevinMcCarthy in 2021 when he gave a circuitous speech against Biden's $1.75T bill.

    McCarthy broke Democratic congresswoman #NancyPelosi’s 2018 record.

  4. Deficit-minded #Republicans rejected the stopgap spending bill out of hand, since many of them will back only regular full-year appropriations measures.

    And #HouseRepublicans’ personal rivalries surfaced again in a callback to the #funding debacle that a year ago ousted #MikeJohnson’s predecessor, #KevinMcCarthy, from the speakership.

  5. Very awkward moment- Congressman Matt Gaetz tries to interrupt former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s interviews, taunting him “Hey Kevin, what night are you speaking?” via Joe Kahlil #rnc #rnc2024 #mattgaetz #kevinmccarthy #RNCinDisarray #gop #maga what amess .

  6. The #GOP quest to hold #Garland in #contempt of #Congress for refusing to respond to a #subpoena was not dampened by any sense of irony, even though the #Judiciary Cmte is chaired by Rep #GymJordan. Jordan famously refused to comply w/requests from the House cmte investigating the #Jan6 #insurrection, alongside Reps #ScottPerry, #KevinMcCarthy, #AndyBiggs, & #MoBrooks.

  8. Instead of solving the debt ceiling impasse, #House #GOP auctions off used lip balm for $100k

    Amid sputtering #DebtCeiling negotiations & dire warnings of an unprecedented #default, House #Republicans spent time holding a fundraising auction in which lawmakers bid for a tube of #LipBalm supposedly used by House speaker #KevinMcCarthy
    #MarjorieTaylorGreene ultimately won w/a bid of $100k

  9. #KevinMcCarthy’s bid for the #speaker’s #gavel went into a historic third day after #Republicans adjourned Wednesday without a single #defector reversing course.

    The decision came after McCarthy huddled #Wednesday with a mix of his supporters and his most ardent #holdouts as they clawed for any path to break the high-stakes stalemate — which has #humiliatedtheGOP on a national stage.

  10. WAPO—#KevinMcCarthy scrambles to firm up his #speaker bid as vote looms

    McCarthy and #colleagues have spent the weekend working the phones and negotiating with the #holdouts who threaten to keep the #gavel away from him.

    While an overwhelming majority of #Republicans want to elect McCarthy (Calif.) as #speaker, roughly #15 have put the outcome in serious #doubt.
