I love that this is "mostly" all out in the open... As it should be.
Watch our constitutional republic's processes in action 🌶

Number of votes cast = 432. McCarthy received 216. One shy of a majority 👀 There are 435 members of congress but apparently only 432 voted.

Will democrats abstain from voting to get it over with?

They now are voting to adjourn ... UNTIL MONDAY! Let's see if they are done or not. Round 15 will be next.

How epic would it be if Gaetz or Boebart were the final winning vote when McCarthy eventually wins this?

Some of you are frustrated with this process, but I find it fascinating. I love to see that negotiations are happening instead of just assuming the chosen one will be selected. Folks are leveraging their vote to improve what will happen over the next two years, and I'm frankly proud of them for that.

hahaha adjournment is tied at 217/217

UPDATE: republicans changed they votes to NO to adjourn... looks like McCarthy might have gotten his deal? On to round 15. Dang, I wanted 17 rounds LOL

they are chanting "ONE MORE TIME"

hahaha tensions were a tad high tonight

Interesting that the vote actually took place on January 7th because it was after midnight Eastern time.

Everyone who was bashing MTG this week, was wrong.
Everyone who was bashing Gaetz & co. (incl. me), was wrong.
Everyone who was bashing this showdown (incl. me) was wrong.

Everyone who was bashing Trump, was wrong.

Everyone who was praising MTG, was right.
Everyone who was praising Gaetz & co, was right.

It's crimes against children that will unite us all. Remember that.

The principal of Madison East HS is inviting students and their families to attend a “family-friendly” drag show at school. They claim the show will celebrate and affirm LGBTQ+ students and staff and praise the work of the “Gender and Sexuality Alliance” club.
