  1. #JimJordan's bid for House speakership faces opposition despite majority support from House Republicans. #DanCrenshaw advises Jordan against aggressive tactics, stressing unity and dialogue. After #KevinMcCarthy's removal, Jordan seeks timely support from hesitant members, but public pressure from Jordan's camp, endorsed by #DonaldTrump, may backfire.

  2. As Axios first reported, #HouseSpeaker #KevinMcCarthy (R-Calif.) has entrusted #FoxNews' #TuckerCarlson with 41,000 hours of #Capitol #surveillance #footage from the #Jan6 #insurrection. McCarthy had faced intense pressure to release the footage from #farright #members whose votes he needed to become #speaker. In years past this would be #shocking, #alarming, #appalling, #egregiouslywrong #immoral #illegal #unfathomable...but T laid the foundation of a #legacy built on #vitriol #hatred #treason

  4. Does anyone know if the House #RulesPackage must pass before Congressional business can resume in the #118thcongress ? Sounds like it may be a tough hurdle for #kevinmccarthy ...

  5. This is priceless.

  6. @demoncat 🤣 🤣 🤣 What a superbly British joke, but #AltText4You - the image shows a desk photo of the new Speaker of the US House of Representatives; photo is on a desk with an iceberg lettuce with two eyes, and the caption "Day one: can Kevin McCarthy outlast this lettuce?" Refers to a series of front pages by UK Daily Star about Prime Minister Liz Truss, who indeed did not outlast the lettuce.

  7. This was the 1st time #McCarthy’s vote total exceeded #Jeffries’.

    Jeffries 211 (1 absent Dem); McCarthy 213.

    Which sucks for those of us who dreamt of a #SpeakerJeffries.

    Even if McCarthy wins, this #118th #HouseOfRepresentatives is going to be a freakin mess due to the numerous concessions he made.

  9. Not only did #KevinMcCarthy just lose a 4th round in voting for #Speaker of the #House, #VictoriaSpartz from #Indiana who formerly voted for #McCarthy voted "Present" this round. So McCarthy actually lost a vote, lol.
