I loved how Pelosi let Jeffries give Kevin the gravel. He thought he would have a picture of him taking the gravel from her. Jeffries speech was wonderful. Her shade to Kevin was glorious.

They will try, but there are 15-20 Republicans who are in districts that President Biden won. The Democrats need to be on them and not let up.
7-8 months from now Freedom Caucus and really just the GOP will plunge the country into a historic economic and political crisis by forcing the country to default on the federal debt.

Kevin McCarthy worked for 4 years and sold his soul to the devil to get to this very moment. His moment of glory. And poor McCarthy had to stand here next to Hakeem Jeffries and watch him deliver this smoke! 🤣 #HouseSpeaker #SpeakerVote pic.twitter.com/yubOzZUvIv

What's our plan for this Congress?
House Democrats will use Republicans' own rules against them to fulfill the basic functions of government while standing up for our values and forcing Republicans to go on the record with their extreme positions. pic.twitter.com/TR77ckF4wp

It took 15 votes—the longest in 164 years—for McCarthy to finally secure the 55th speakership. He is already the weakest Speaker in U.S. history who will likely get no bills passed over the next two years. Have a great weekend everyone!

No one can deny Harry was financially abused by his relatives. That man admired Tyler Perry’s mansion like I look at million dollar mansions I can’t afford on real estate apps. Turns out Harry was the one living like Cinderella. Not Meghan.

1.) The funding has already been provided. It cannot be “repealed” nor rescinded
2.) The IRS did not “hire 87,000 new agents.” The funding enables them to hire that many agents over the course of TEN YEARS; including agents who retire or leave in that time

This is was part of Kevin McCarthy’s agreement with MAGA to win the speakership.
