@JenniferSlack @msignorile Mike Rogers’ toupee is very dignified, though indignant. 🤡🎪🔥 #USHouse #FightClub #GOPdisarray

Katie Porter reading "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" during the GOP shit-show is primo trolling.
Porter's a legend.

Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) issues a ‘warm invitation’ to six members across the aisle to join Democrats to ‘end this nonsense’. #USPOL #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

Disorder on the floor as McCarthy pleads with Gaetz and Boebert for votes. Garret Graves has to physically pull Mike Rogers off of Gaetz. #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray #14thBallot

#PeteAguilar: “The same individuals who fanned the flames of January 6th, told their followers that they needed to fight back, and challenged the swearing in of members based on a bogus claim of fake electors, may well be in charge of the people's House..." He appeals to his colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote for #HakeemJeffries who denounced the Big Lie. Boos from the Right. Voting underway, with Boebert voting “present”. #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

The House is back in session and nomination speeches have begun, as members launch a 14th attempt to break free of the time loop in which they’re currently held hostage by extremists. #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GopDisarray #14thBallot

Before the next round of voting begins (#14 for those of you keeping track):
David Frum: “If reports are accurate, #McCarthy is on verge of selling out the country to a nihilist faction so he can briefly occupy a now-powerless office - then cash in for whatever he can get after this fiasco.” #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray #Insurrectionists #Extremists

13 is not #KevinMcCarthy’s lucky number. He loses again on the #13thBallot with six Republicans voting for someone else. Congress has adjourned until 10 p.m. EST. https://youtu.be/Xb6F6kIqlxw #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

The Lincoln Project:
“If GOPLeader #KevinMcCarthy had forced #Gaetz to step down after the sex scandals or had the guts to expel #Boebert when she put lives of her colleagues in danger on #Jan6th, he'd be Speaker by now.
The problem with sacrificing principles for power: you end up with neither.” #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray #Extremism #Fascism

#DonaldTrump says he won. He didn't. And today, he got 1. Which proves he's a loser yet again.

#KevinMcCarthy has lost the 11th ballot in his bid for Speaker. Only 122 more to go to beat the 1856 record. Kevin Hern received 7 votes, Donald Trump received one vote, and #HakeemJeffries won this round, as he has won all other rounds, with the full support of Democrats: 212 to McCarthy’s 200. The threshold is 218, so still no Speaker. House currently voting on whether to adjourn until noon tomorrow. #USPol #HouseSpeaker #GOPDisarray

Thinking of all the Americans who pooh-poohed #RankedChoice and PR systems for taking too long to come to a conclusion
#HouseSpeaker is now on count 11 in a single-seat constituency and they are now adding in the joke candidates that would have been eliminated in the 1st round under #PRSTV
