“The Republican caucus continues to be a complete hellscape. The Republican caucus in Congress is split between a very small group of Republican congresspeople who are clowns and who wish to basically do their clown act on TV for money and notoriety and the vast majority of Republicans who actually would like to pass bills that they believe are the best thing they can get for America.

And in order to be very famous, they’re going to do things like challenge the speakership of the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who is more conservative on policy than any of them.
“The speaker is supposed to be able to do vote counting. The speaker is supposed to be able to negotiate. Mike Johnson should nuke this dumb rule right now. And if he requires Democrats to help him do it, then he should get Democrats to help him do it.
