  1. #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.

  3. 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.

  8. 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 .

  9. 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.

  14. The #FarRight *lawmakers* won their seats on the #RulesCommittee as part of a deal made by fmr speaker #KevinMcCarthy, who haggled w/ #ultraconservatives opposing his leadership & only agreed to back him after he gave them critical leverage. They refused to support the measure to bring up the #aid package bc it wouldn’t allow a vote on #extremism #border security they prioritize over #Ukraine.

    The #Republicans’ rebellion left #Democrats to bail out #MikeJohnson, so they can get something done.

  15. 👀
    The #kevinmccarthy revenge tour seems to be in full swing.

    McCarthy did give himself an out by saying that he didn’t know if Matt Gaetz had sex with a 17 year old girl, but he knew that Gaetz wanted him to get rid of the ethics investigation into whether or not #Gaetz had #sex with a 17 year old girl, and that is why he was #ousted.

  16. I may not agree with everything here, but it makes so much sense I'm having a hard time figuring out my disagreements.

  17. #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.

  18. It’s been 8 yrs since Rep #KevinMcCarthy might have cost himself his first shot at the #House speakership w/ a FoxNews interview. McCarthy committed a then-unpardonable gaffe of linking the #GOP’s Benghazi investigation to #political advantage.

    He said that #HillaryClinton had looked unbeatable, “but we put together a Benghazi special cmte, a select cmte. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping.”
