Meeting Over. House Republicans Produce Nothing The 3-hour, closed-door meeting of House Re;publicans is over. They produced nothing. The House remains closed for business, and will remain so until the Republican majority elects a Speaker, or until some Republicans join with Democrats to elect...

Republicans Still Can't Govern Various sources this morning are reporting Scalise does not have and cannot get the votes needed to win the Speaker's chair. No other names are being floated at this point. House Republicans are meeting once again behind closed doors to determine the flavor of...

The government will shut down on Nov 17 if a budget bill is not passed. I'd call that pressing.

Weisselberg Lies Under Oath It would not surprise me to see Latisha James slap Weisselberg with perjury charges. The man flat-out lied on the stand. And there is clear documentary evidence now available to James to prove it...

The House Republicans are Incapacitated This morning's news shows House Republicans are still incapacitated. They fired their House speaker with no replacement in mind. Because of internal bickering, they cannot pull together enough votes to elect a new speaker to allow the House to function...

Scalise won the caucus vote and he still can't get enough votes to secure the Speaker's seat. Kinda crazy, huh? The best the Republicans can do is elect someone they can't elect.

America wants to support Ukraine.

Mind Boggling!

Birds of a feather ....

Jordan just received Trump's endorsement in the all-Republican US House caucus and he lost big. Trump critics did not say this before but they are saying it now, after Trump has been criminally indicted and is the defendant in six trials. The Trump endorsement is not the asset it once was. They...

It's not silly that the Republican House caucus cannot govern. It's sad.

In your dreams.

Previously Planned Vote for House Speaker is Put Off This is no surprise. Only four Republicans need to withhold their vote for Speaker to keep anyone from filling the seat. The Chaos Caucus still rules. The only way out of this is for rational Republicans to say enough is enough, and to...

Highly unlikely

Trump's Endorsed Candidate for Speaker Rejected by House Republicans Trump endorsed Jordan for Speaker and Jordan lost in a two-way race in which the only voters were House Republicans. That's an interesting development. I'm not going to read more into this than is there, but it's a development...

Progress Toward a House Speaker. Is it Enough? On a 113 to 99 vote, House Republicans nominated Steve Scalise to be Speaker. With that level of support, he now goes to the House floor where he will need at least 218 votes to get elected to the Speaker's seat. The "chaos caucus" has more than...

Step in the right direction.

A grand total of six. Six out of 200+ Republicans. Compare to how many Demcorats called for ousters of their own after they were indicted or engaged in inappropriate behavior? Democrats don't tolerate that crap. Republicans do.

A full week of House shutdown, not because it's a regularly scheduled recess, but because the dysfunctional House Republican caucus can't keep a speaker seated and can't agree on a new one.
