The Home is returning late this Friday night time for the granddaddy of all information dumps, electing Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the Home, after 14 tries. Or not, however the math barely favors him. To get there, he solely had to make sure that there might be a authorities shutdown, that the Home will vote to chop Social Safety and Medicare, and that any member of Congress can name for his removing at any time (together with Democrats). So that is going to go effectively. For Democrats in 2024, that’s. After the Speaker vote, the Home is predicted to remain in to swear in all of the member and to cross the principles bundle, in all probability ending at round 3:00 AM. That bundle has a brand new rule that invoice textual content might be made obtainable to members a minimum of 72 hours earlier than it’s voted on. It was launched a couple of hours in the past. Who was it that used to rail about Democrats doing that? Oh, yeah.
