Especially when you consider that the gop already tried to throw the dems under the bus for their voting out McCarthy.

Dems have no reason to dig the gop out of their own mess.
Indeed.

Jeffries should push for immediate DC and PR statehood and see if the GOP is dumb enough to bite on a year of GOP House leadership in exchange for four Dem senators.
PR is full of rich fucks who are there to evade taxes. Won't happen.

Statehood can't pass the Senate so there's no point factoring it into House deals.

Jim Jordan should currently be in a federal supermax facility serving a life sentence.

Instead he is the GOP frontrunner for Speaker of the House.

There's like 15 non voting members of Congress, from various US territories. imo, they should all be given voting abilities. Especially the Cherokee contingent, which was literally part of their treaty, that the US also reneged one.

Hmmm I wonder if there's a way to trick the GOP into giving them voting rights in exchange for a Speaker deal

..wait nevermind. Even they aren't that stupid....are they?

Not all of of them have to not show up in order to screw over Jordan. It would only take about 5 "dealing with bad DC traffic."

Another Republican will reportedly challenge Jim Jordan for the speakership on Tuesday. So I guess they won't be voting Tuesday either. How long will this go on for? I'm starting to picture a world where the government is shut down 3 months from now and the Republicans will still be having internal meetings about who their speaker candidate will be.

Santos says he will resign if there's a speaker deal with the Dems.

To recap, since his superseding indictment: he's been seen with a staffer's baby that he might be trying to adopt, says he's big mad, screaming about a pro-Palestinian heckler, waited for Scalise's call, and watched his co-conspirator apparently flip on him, and his latest FEC filing shows negative balances for the quarter and previously undisclosed debts.

Doesn't Jeffries win if there's that many no-shows? During the Kevin attempts I remember reading it's a majority of those present as long as there's a quorum.
