Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) said Speaker Kevin McCarthy's (R-CA) hold on power in the House will be imperiled if he does not grant the demands of hard-right Republicans in the chamber ahead of a potential government shutdown.
Remember last January? If there’s no Speaker, the only thing the House can do is vote for a Speaker. If the vote fails to gain a majority, they do it again.
Business in the House of Reps cannot take place without a speaker. Their one and only function would be to hold votes until they get a new speaker. Whether that takes hours or months doesn’t matter. The only thing they can do is hold votes until a speaker is elected.

There was a photo from that mess that made my day, where AOC is in the background and has the biggest grin, just watching them eat each other.
So business as usual.
