None of the House staff get paid until there's a Speaker, which is also something to consider.

I'm assuming they'll get backpay, similar to federal employees if no budget is passed? Of course, I know those folks don't make much and may be living paycheck to paycheck in one of the most expensive cities in the country - but at least they won't be working for free. I hope.

Can we turn this into a drinking game?

Every time someone votes with a sentence instead of just the name, take a drink
Every time a Republican votes against McCarthy, take a drink
Every time the camera cuts to McCarthy, take a drink
Every time McCarthy loses the vote, finish your drink

I knew I should've opened that wholesale account with my liquor store.

I didn't have CSPAN on, please someone tell me there's a transcript of this available.

Someone's going to mess around just long enough for Liz Truss to be named the next Speaker.

As a nation, we might even deserve that.

Chaos nomination for next speaker: Mitch McConnell

I'm morbidly curious to know how Fox/OANN/Truth Social/etc. are somehow claiming this is the Democrats' fault. Not curious to go look, but still.

I just remembered that guy that stole the Speaker's lectern at J6 and am laughing like an idiot.

Someone put Gaetz's face on that guy with McCarthy chasing him.
