  6. Show cancelled!?

    🍿 Wasted...

    Empty Greene - MTG FILED a MOTION to remove speaker Johnson, BUT she WON'T FORCE a VOTE on the motion.

    So what's the point!? #SpeakerVote

  7. Speaker-elect Mike Johnson's proposed agenda - looks like a continuing resolution until April 2024. No mention of Ukraine/Israel/disaster appropriations.

  8. GOP caucus appears to have consolidated around Trumpist climate denier Mike Johnson (R-LA). The political opportunist Elise Stefanik (R-NY): "American energy production has been crushed!" weird, it's literally at its highest levels ever.

  9. CW: USpol, House Speaker race and Republican insurrectionism

    The Republicans must not choose a Speaker who supported Donald Trump's failed 2021 insurrection. This includes anyone who voted against certifying the 2020 election results — that's still insurrection, just not *violent*.

    Republicans are already the pro-insurrection party, but at least they could try not to make it even worse.

  10. CW: USPol, Republican violence, threats against lawmakers

    Republicans have been stoking violence amongst their followers for years now, and they officially embraced it when they defended the #January6th insurrectionists. Is it any wonder that now, those same violent tactics are being turned against the #Republican lawmakers who refused to vote for #JimJordan?

    The whole party is reaping what it's sown.

  11. What's that definition of stupidity? Doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results? #JimJordan loses the #SpeakerVote again. I guess he did get different results, though - 25 voted against him this time, instead of 20 on Tuesday and 22 on Wednesday.

  12. The enthusiasm gap between Republicans and Democrats remains palpable.

  17. #JimJordan’s likely demise,possible interim solution so #USHouse can do business, damage to #RepublicanParty from its civil war — and ever-present threat to the US system from the extremists and #Trumpists

  18. @uspolitics #jimjordan #Speakervote #Politics #rolling_stone .... i'll say what I know you are thinking.... glad to see that some Republicans have finally grown a pair.....

  19. Just for fun here's the list of the House GOP in Biden districts.

  20. After Democrats ironically applaud the ballot cast for John Boehner, Speaker pro tem Patrick McHenry announces: "A speaker has not been elected."

    McHenry calls the House into recess. Again.

  21. Bloodbath for Gym Jordan continues - he picked up Doug LaMalfa's and Victoria Spartz's votes, but lost Vern Buchanan, Drew Ferguson, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, and Pete Stauber.

  22. With 12 Republicans voting against Jim Jordan, including 2 who backed him on the 1st ballot (and we're only into the Gs), Jordan has lost the second ballot to be Speaker of the House
    #uspol #speakervote

  23. It's getting to the point that I can't stand the sight of many Republicans as they walk the halls of the Capitol desecrating it with every step with that smug grin on their faces .
    Dozens should be facing incitement or sedition charges .

  24. "Here we are again, Mr. Speaker." - Pete Aguilar re-nominates Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House.

  25. “For a long time we’ve seen politicians who have vied for media attention in order to raise their profile and raise money,” said Kathryn Brownell, who teaches history at Purdue University. “It elevates a slash-and-burn style and it changes the party to something more about viral moments and less about governance.” (Gift link below.)

  26. By the way, in case anybody is interested in seeing who votes for whom, the New York Times has an interactive tracker and it doesn’t appear to be behind a paywall.

    EDIT: It looks like there might be a paywall for some people after all ☹️

  27. Okay I might have hallucinated it, but did I hear Elise Stefanik compare #GymJordan to MOSES in her nomination speech??!

    *blinks*

    …perhaps I misheard?

  28. First time through the roll call, Jim Jordan far short of the 217 votes he needs to be elected speaker. All Ds voting for Hakeem Jeffries.
    199 Jordan
    211 Jeffries
    16 Others

  29. It floors me that Greg Pence has voted in favor of the guy who supports (and is supported by) the guy who wanted to hang his brother. That’s got to make for awkward family get-togethers? 😬

  30. Jeffries votes for himself and Democrats rise in applause. #SpeakerVote

  31. #JimJordan faces opposition from 10-20 House #Republicans in his bid for House Speaker, largely due to frustrations over the treatment of #SteveScalise and the ouster of former Speaker #KevinMcCarthy. If Jordan fails, #PatrickMcHenry may emerge as an alternative, possibly assuming a bigger role or even the speakership.
