Only reason to stop would be if all they had was an AED which you have to stop to get it to analyze but its a paramedic unit with a lifepack that can read all day on the move so who knows why they stopped.

It appears that the Freedom Caucus's price is basically social security/medicare cuts in a sequester-like fashion, a huge clusterfuck on the debt ceiling, and forcing the Senate to do independent funding bills instead of omnibuses (lol).

If McCarthy finally makes his number, he's gone before the first controversial bill gets passed.

looking like McCarthy gets it tonight when three of his members come back, probably by 1-2 votes. Then comes a massive fight on the rules, which could be even more difficult! And then he's fuckin gone during the leadup to the first controversial bill.

Why is this about the hardest I've ever seen someone from NPR push up against a guest?

Seeing Andrew do the press junket for his HBO docu (which i absolutely need to watch today) has been pretty entertaining.

Man's entire career has been letting people be themselves in interviews and the entirety of their ridiculousness being shown on his format is what drives the point home, but CNN, NPR et al are constantly asking him "WHY ARE YOU HUMANIZING ALEX JONES?!?".

Who the gently caress watches a clip of Alex Jones pretending to go super-sayan in his home-gym while misting himself with baby oil and thinks "hmm yes, what an entirely normal human being, i guess he was right about Sandy Hook all along"?

Andrew was on Hasan Pikers podcast a couple of days ago and talked about how all these big-time journalists apparently did zero research on his format (or didn't get any of his all gas no brakes/Channel 5 stuff), and were just out for meaty sound bites and whatnot.

Yep. Votes go on and on and on until the House selects a Speaker. Only "deadline" is that on the 13th, apparently the staffers that make things run don't get paid anymore because... there's no House to pay them.

It's just one party, post-trump. For 100 years, a party knows they'll get the House and decide on a Speaker beforehand, easy peasy. Pelosi was easily re-elected with the same margin. But Mccarthy's permafucked a few of his caucus, plus there are another few super hard-righties, nobody's listening to trump anymore, and nobody trusts anyone. In this recent vote, someone appears to have lied to McCarthy's people (and the easy lie wasn't detected) - and so:

Gaetz wants Armed Services Committee chair. Mike Rogers, the current minority ranking member, was the one that lunged at Gaetz earlier. Apparently the hiccup was that Rosendale said he was going to vote present (giving McCarthy the majority) and he instead voted no.

They don't care about that half of the party. The half they care about thinks they're loving heroes. And that Gaetz' investigation was dropped a long time ago because there was nothing there.
