That said, I don’t have any sympathy for McCarthy. He had no business changing the law put in place to prevent this kind of thing from ever happening in the first place. 

And this should be the first thing the next Republican House Speaker should reverse. It’s just ridiculous to me.☀️🌬️🧂✨🗳️🇺🇸💖

“And, crucially—as this moment illuminates—he made it much, much easier to oust the speaker: Under the deal he cut to assume the position in January, only one Republican needed to call a vote to oust him. Previously, motions to remove the speaker could only be brought by the leader of either party: Now any yahoo could do it, and Matt Gaetz, every bit that yahoo, gleefully pulled the trigger on Monday.”

“McCarthy gave the most ungovernable members of his caucus a veto over everything the Republican majority aspired to do, something they have gleefully employed to the detriment of nearly everything. He appointed members of the House Freedom Caucus to the enormously influential House Rules Committee, which can rewrite bills and, by definition, set the rules of the House. He made it easier for the House to block spending increases.” https://image.nostr.build/a8108808a0c4da791df8f7ab9e77e516cd55cec31888f592809fb78af8a1785f.jpg
