I actually was. I'm so exhausted for no apparent reason. Also, state holiday means not a lot of news.

I was tempted to start one but I am VERY, VERY new and felt weird. Also, hi. (Gifted) WaPo article about the guy who took down the Confederate statues in Richmond - wapo.st/3Z2YD6vThe guy is amazing and I was able to see some of it live. It was so awe-inspiring.

Were you all sleeping today? Just trying to postpone the inevitable return to reality.

RVA local here. He did a great job. So glad to see that the risk has paid off for him. And so glad to see all of those hideous monuments gone. Fun fact: for awhile after the initial removal, all of the monuments were stored on the site of the Richmond City water/sewer treatment facility. There was something so poetic to see the monuments, covered by tarps, next to literal shit facilities. I was a bit sad when they got moved sometime in 2022 for storage elsewhere.

Kevin Mccarthy is having a very bad day.
"MORE NEWS —
In a private mtg yesterday, GAETZ, BOEBERT, PERRY told McCarthy they wanted their OWN legal entity in House to wage lawsuits.
The group also told McCarthy that they don’t mind if the speaker vote goes to plurality and @repjeffries is elected bc they’ll fight him."

Oh hi, here for GSIDK101 (government stuff I don’t understand) what does the below mean? “In a private mtg yesterday, GAETZ, BOEBERT, PERRY told McCarthy they wanted their OWN legal entity in House to wage lawsuits.”

If every single elected Democrat votes for Leader Jeffries, he will be at 212. It only takes 218 votes to become Speaker. Jeffries will not be speaker, to be clear. The Freedum Caucus are not that absolutely stupid.

The Freedum Caucus are not that absolutely stupid. Only because of self inoculation from crimes. Otherwise they totally could be that stupid if we just believe hard enough DC! Lol

The McCarthy Trials. I'll be here all week!

It looks like Kevin's current strategy is to name and shame. He just had a temper tantrum in front of reporters.
I'm guessing then he will keep everyone on the floor and yell at them. And nobody can leave bc it lowers the threshold of votes he needs.
The problem is, you can't shame the shameless. I guarantee the HFC members are fundraising off of this.
I would feel sorry for him if he had any principles.

This 118th congress is going to be a trip. Kevin started measuring the drapes in the Speakers office in like April 2021! And he spiked the football on taking the majority (barely) after promising a red tsunami!
