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 and making nothing at all ... except maybe the chaos the nihilists in the Republican caucus are successfully creating. Every day the House is unable to function is a win for them, and a loss for America.

Progress Toward a House Speaker. Is it Enough?
On a 113 to 99 vote, House Republicans nominated Steve Scalise to be Speaker.
