Democrats need to study up on using Questions of the Privileges of the House:
https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R44005/12 A question of the privileges of the House is a formal declaration by a Member of the House asserting that a situation has arisen affecting “the rights of the House collectively, its safety, dignity and the integrity of its proceedings.” Once a question of the privileges of the House is raised, the Speaker must, at some point, entertain the question and rule on its validity. The Speaker makes such a ruling with guidance from the House Parliamentarian based on House rule and precedent. If it is ruled to be valid, a question of the privileges of the House will be considered and possibly voted on by the House. Questions recognized as valid comprise several categories, such as: * questions related to the organization of the House and the rights of Members to their seats or leadership positions, * questions related to the House’s constitutional prerogatives, such as their power to originate revenue legislation, * questions related to the conduct of Members, officers, and employees of the House, * questions related to the integrity of the legislative process, both in committee and on the House floor, and * questions related to the comfort, convenience, and safety of Members. |

^ But there is no Speaker, PP, so there are no Questions. We're in no man's land until we have a Speaker.

| The House is just embarrassing. The GOP are garbage people who hate government and don’t want it to work at all. |

This will go on until Fox and Friends decide Beavis and Boebert are more of a problem than entertainment, or until they miss their first paycheck. They are the smaller group and will cave to Kevin, who has no intention of backing down. Christ, he’s already moved into the office. He’s not backing down. He will be a weak Speaker but he was always going to be.
There is NOTHING Dems can or should do. GOP broke it, they buy it. We have a functioning Senate and competent President. The govt is funded till Oct. The Congress has zero intention of governing. |

Beavis is actually supporting McCarthy. It's more like Boebert and Butt-head. https://twitter.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1348828325041434626 |

Why would democrats vote for McCarthy? He was a Trump enabler. I guess they should find a Trumper who came on for better health care, better borders, and the other working-class parts of the Trump platform that were never crazy and who is not nuts, and work with the 20 to elect him/her speaker. |
