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.

That's an article dating back to January that talks mostly about Republican officials in Nassau County, NY. How many Republican US House members and US Senate members have called on Santos to resign?

Santos Specifics It is telling how Santos unconscionably, and with no regard for his donor's rights, stole money from his donors by using the credit card info they trusted him with to charge additional amounts to those cards without the donor's knowledge or consent, and he deposited some of...

How much "sausage-making" is needed and for how long? Reports this evening are that the House Republicans are no closer to electing a speaker than they were a week ago when the sausage makers gave McCarthy the boot. They're not making sausage. They're caught up in their self-made dysfunctions...
