Both Republican and Democratic senators emphasize that any successor to Kevin McCarthy will inherit the divided government that befell him — with another shutdown looming.

    I’d love to see it but the republicans have to do it themselves and they’ve shown that there’s next to nothing they won’t tolerate to keep a voting body.

    Now what’s interesting to me is Madison Cawthorn going down pretty much immediately. And what did he do that bought him such a quick exit? While they’ll claim x or y, to me it was him talking about republican cocaine orgies. Which sounds outlandish. But there was an immediate concentrated effort to oust him. He had that picture get dropped and whatnot. What spooked them? Odd that such an outlandish thing would get them worked up. Unless of course it’s true. Hrmmmm.
