What a relief! I have zero connections to AZ and I think about this a few times a month. Can only imagine how those who live there feel.

The depositions in the E Jean Carroll case were so incriminating! I am amazed they are going forward with this! He can't help but incriminate himself. Likely he is demanding to testify. I don't see this going well for his legal team. I'm just flabbergasted that anyone still agrees to be on his legal team at this point. Have none of them learned the lesson here yet? My gosh.

'Speaker Kevin McCarthy plans to call a vote on Tuesday on the right-wing move to oust him from the speakership. He said he had no intention of giving Democrats any concessions for help to keep the job.'

Insert "I love mess" gif here I hope the Dems are stocking up on popcorn. (Also, I am joking about all of this but I really hate that everything is this dysfunctional.)

One could say McCarthy is finding himself in Dire Straights today. 🤭
Sorry, couldn't help myself. 😆

Kevin seems mighty cocky. He knows something we don't. I suppose it's possible he is granting YET MORE concessions to hard right lawmakers to keep his job. Ever since January, I have learned to assume that the opposite of whatever Jake Sherman predicts is what will transpire where Kevin Mccarthy is concerned.

I'm busy and can't watch it and that makes me a little sad.

It's be one thing to defend a blatant criminal if said criminal paid his bills. Money is money and everyone, criminal or not, has the constitutional right to a fair trial.* TFG, though, is a losing bet on getting paid. ETA: * I know not everyone gets a fair one. They should.

While I understand why the Dems wouldn't support McCarthy, I also worry about who could take his place. I also worry that if this stretches out a while they could claim the Dems are holding things up from getting a budget passed. (But maybe I'm just being paranoid.)

Am I the only one silently hoping that a small handful of lame duck R’a who are about to retire or just don’t care anymore throw their vote behind Jeffries just to be done with this and get back to the business of running the country?

Motion to table fails, so now the House will vote on whether to vacate the chair

Kevin went on the Sunday show’s blaming dems for almost causing the shutdown. I’m really hoping they just sit back and the the gop disarray itself and refuse to help Kevin

I was really hoping if Kevin was going to cave and pass a budget it would be for the full year. If they remove him I'm afraid for what happens when the CR ends

Gaetz is at a podium on the dem side. And I’m pretty sure Jim himes (tiny screen) is restraining himself from smacking Matt upside the head.
