McCarthy out as speaker - eviltoast

Rep. Patrick McHenry is now the acting Speaker of the House.

  • The House is such an interesting part of our Democracy; it’s where local issues collide with national interests. While Just under 200k voters isn’t a small number of people, it seems like a tough argument to suggest that this small smidgen of Florida represents the will of ‘the people’. However, what it ought to do is underscore the importance, nationwide, of participating in the electoral process.

    I think the extent to which that will happen largely depends on how the rest of this process plays out, but for the time being, I’m content to sit back and laugh at the absolute shitshow as it develops.
