Kevin McCarthy making clear to Chip Roy that he's willing to give Roy and pals his lunch money every day, and eat a bug.
The House is returning late this Friday night for the granddaddy of all news dumps, electing Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, after 14 tries. Or not, but the math barely favors him. To get there, he only had to ensure that there will be a government shutdown, that the House will vote to cut Social Security and Medicare, and that any member of Congress can call for his removal at any time (including Democrats). So this is going to go well. For Democrats in 2024, that is. After the Speaker vote, the House is expected to stay in to swear in all the member and to pass the rules package, probably ending at around 3:00 AM. That package has a new rule that bill text will be made available to members at least 72 hours before it is voted on. It was released a few hours ago. Who was it that used to rail about Democrats doing that? Oh, yeah.
