#MTG: If #Republicans Lose #House #Speakership, It’s Totally #NotMyFault.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says she won’t take the blame if House Republicans lose the speaker’s gavel. She probably should.

The #GOP’s #Fetish for #PoliticalViolence Is Reaching #Dangerous New Heights

The #JimJordan #speakership #fiasco shows that #Republicans have grown so #comfortable with #threats and #intimidation, they’re now turning on each other.

The #Senate is scheduled to hold a vote at today on a bipartisan resolution on “standing with #Israel against #terrorism,” in response to the conflict between Israel & #Hamas. Until the #House resolves its current #speakership issue, it cannot pass its own resolution.

The House votes today on Rep. Jim Jordan’s #speakership hopes. It could be a long day.

Here’s what to watch for 👇

Oh FFS, #HouseRepublicans #dysfunction continues…

#House #speakership stalled as Steve #Scalise announces he’s withdrawing from the race

The Louisiana #Republican, who serves as the House majority leader, announced at a conference meeting Thurs evening that he was pulling out of the battle to become #speaker.

The #House of Representatives remains leaderless due to the #Republican intraparty fight over the #speakership.

With no elected #speaker, the House is effectively paralyzed. It can’t pass emergency military #aid for close U.S. ally #Israel until #HouseRepublicans seat a new speaker.

#Republicans are a #threat to #NationalSecurity.

64) Yesterday's removal of #KevinMcCarthy as #Speaker of the House has reinforced the view that the #GOP caucus is unmangeable given the outsized influence of the #HardRight within the party

McCarthy's decision to forgo contesting the upcoming #Speakership contest testifies to the misery heaped on by the position in a #Republican context. He is now following in the steps of Paul Ryan and John Boehner

As #Politico puts it, the GOP is a "Failed State"

#Gaetz’s Ouster of #McCarthy Draws Attention to His #Ethics Issues

Rep #MattGaetz is facing a #House Cmte inquiry into allegations of #SexualMisconduct & #MisuseOfFunds. Rep #KevinMcCarthy has argued Gaetz’s move against his #speakership is #payback.

#HouseRepublicans are a #mess

It “was personal,” #KevinMcCarthy said of Rep Matt #Gaetz’s move to remove him from the #speakership.

“It had nothing to do about #spending,” he said.

“It all was about getting #attention…. I mean, we’re getting email #fundraisers from him.”

That, he said, “is not #governing. That’s not becoming of a member of #Congress.”

“And regardless of what you think, I’ve seen the texts,” McCarthy said. “It was all about his ethics.”

(referring to the #ethics investigation of Gaetz?)

Kevin McCarthy: ‘I’m Not Going To Provide Anything’ To Dems To Save My Speakership

If the Republicans go with the "present" idea, don't they risk having Jeffries get the #Speakership?

#BrendanBuck on @Msnbc w. #ChrisJansing just now; his framing on the #McCarthy negotiations--what McCarthy giving away to these extremists-- is the correct one. Committee assignments are earned. This is simply extortion by undeserving radicals. #RepublicansInDisarray #speakership

There's growing concern among some #House members who may have to miss the #speakership vote if it keeps dragging out due to various circumstances.

One of them: Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.). He missed the 9th ballot after traveling back to his state for a "planned non-emergency medical procedure," a spokesperson told POLITICO.

Buck's office didn't detail a timeline for when he will return.

Lauren Bobert’s nominating speech for Kevin Hern as Speaker #republicansindisarray #laurenboebert #speakership

Lauren Boebert, who has been consistently voting for people who are not McCarthy, cast her vote for Kevin Hern of Oklahoma. She had folks at the edge of their seats by saying she was voting for a “Kevin,” then read off a long list of Hern’s achievements, before telling us her vote. #nytimes Michael Gold https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/01/05/us/house-speaker-vote/347e70d2-cbb7-5a0c-af6b-f43292e9170e?smid=url-share #boebert #hern #republicansindisarray #speakership

Kevin #McCarthy's #speakership bid fell short for a third day in a row. His proposed concessions failed to move a single #GOP holdout.

McCarthy is getting what he deserves. He made too many deals with the devil. He sucked up to Trump too many times. Now it’s blowing back in his face for the world to see. If he loses this will be the 2nd time that he’s been booted out of the speakership. Don’t forget he tried this before in 2015 & Speaker Boehner blocked that from happening. That’s how Paul Ryan got his job. #kevinmccarthy #votes #chaos #speakership #houseofrepresentatives #housevotes #loser # trump #politics #blackmastodon
