Gaetz Will Try To Oust McCarthy As Speaker This Week For Averting Government Shutdown

My favorite part of the “article” was stating he has $1M in a stock portfolio followed by saying he “owns a small chunk of Tesla”. LOL 😂

And the fact the “article” made it seem surprising a 50+ year old would have a $1M stock portfolio.
 
Seems odd

He owns a 12k square ft home in Baton Rouge

Owns a 5000 acre ranch in Shreveport

Owns a 200 acre private island in the Gulf of Mexico

Totaling $2.9 million in real estate owned in Louisiana

Has a net worth by over $5 million putting him in the top 12% net worth by in the House

I don't know of ANY person that owns a 5000 acre farm and can claim they don't have qualified assets to disclose...must be running that ranch like shi*
He owns a 12k sq ft home, 5000 acre ranch, and a 200 acre island and, according the article, that adds up to only $2.9m in real estate? Absolute trash article. Good grief.

To be fair, it's all in Louisiana, and some of it in Shreveport. $2.9 mil may be a Trumpian self-evaluation.
 
Have the presidency and the senate. But very narrowly the house is in opposition party hands. So it must be the house.


Weak
I think it is hilarious that the Moody's report specifically list "Partisan Politics" as the reason for the downgrade and the parties Immediately blame each other


And Moodys is like ...."this is why"
 
So he proposed and passed a CR bill to get to avoid shutdown with Dem support and help

The same group that kicked McCarthy out are LIVID and now talking about kicking Johnson out too

House abruptly heads home early after conservatives retaliate over Johnson's government funding plan​

WASHINGTON – House lawmakers abruptly went home a day early partially due to a familiar sight for the House Republican conference: a rebellion from the lower chamber’s most conservative lawmakers.

The quick departure came just one day after passing a short-term stopgap measure to avert a government shutdown.

Some 19 Republicans, mostly comprised of members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, tanked a procedural vote Wednesday morning. The procedural vote – referred to as a rule vote – has traditionally passed along party lines regardless of any member’s support or opposition to the bill’s rule.


House conservatives, however, have broken that precedent multiple times this year, illustrating how unwieldy the deeply divided GOP majority is for newly installed House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

Hard-right lawmakers shot down the rule vote this time around partly out of retaliation for Johnson’s funding plan – referred to as a continuing resolution – that cleared the House Tuesday. Those members have clamored for past months that any funding legislation include deep spending cuts, but Johnson’s bill was considered “clean” for retaining government funding at current levels.
