So, #QevinMcCarthy resigns. He probably knows how nastier it will get with #MAGAmikeJohnson running the pseudo-theocratic fascist-wannabe continuing coup.

Will Gavin Newsom now appoint a replacement? I’m not sure what the procedure is.

Former House speaker Kevin McCarthy announces he is leaving Congress

Two months ago, Kevin McCarthy was booted as House speaker. Now, the Republican congressman from California says he's resigning and will leave Congress by year's end. His announcement caps a stunning end of his House career for the onetime deli counter owner from Bakersfield, California. McCarthy has risen through state and national politics to become second in line to the presidency as speaker, until hard-right conservatives engineered his removal in October. McCarthy made his announcement in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday and wrote that he'll “serve America in new ways.” McCarthy had brought Republicans into the majority but found it was much more difficult to lead the GOP’s factions.

Yep. #QevinMcCarthy is the first #UnSpeaker, the very first Speaker of the House to be ousted.

Amazing.

Almost an achievement.

Douchebag MAGAt.

How pathetic and weak is #QevinMcCarthy for blocking the head of a war-torn ally from speaking to the US Congress?

This only belittles Congress.

The speaker plans a private meeting with the Ukrainian president, but his refusal to arrange for rank-and-file lawmakers to hear from him directly reflects Republican resistance to continuing aid to Kyiv.

“Veterans, seniors and government employees: These are just some of the people who stand to be impacted if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling.”

Note: It’s Congress’ responsibility. That means, regardless of MAGA propaganda, #QevinMcCarthy and crew are the obstacles. And, to blame.

These are the people who will be impacted by a U.S. debt default

And you thought optimism reported was a good sign? That #MAGA #GOP might do the right thing? That #QevinMcCarthy saw “a path”? We haven’t even seen the extreme #MAGAliban wing of the ‘party’ — I prefer ‘fascist-wannabe cult’ — throw their hissy-fit yet. There’s probably not enough luck to avoid at least some carnage. It’s who and what they are.

If the speaker cuts a deal that alienates conservatives, some Democrats are willing to help save his gavel.

Big acquisition money (CVS + Amazon are examples) is chasing this “pot of money”. Wonder if #QevinMcCarthy will insist this needs to be cut at the Whitehouse meeting tomorrow. I doubt it. He won’t touch big corporate payouts.

“…more than half (of Medicare’s) 60 million beneficiaries have signed up for policies with private insurers under the Medicare Advantage program. The federal government is now paying those insurers $400 billion a year.”

There is a growing chance Washington “will bumble into the first default in our nation’s history,” the RepubliCON said #QevinMcCarthy on his 100th day as House Speaker (in name only).
