I'm trying to figure out what time House Speaker Lollapalooza is today. Morning Joe said 12 PM EDT but I haven't found anything to confirm that.

Is it just me, or does the Republican House Speaker lollapalooza remind anyone else of Toonces the Driving Cat?

"Hey, Mike Johnson can drive the House!"

Right before they go over the cliff ...

reports that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy is the one floating the idea of a unity ticket with Jim Jordan as "Assistant Speaker."

"Amid the impasse, McCarthy is floating a plan that would reinstall him as speaker and make Jordan, a conservative Trump ally, the assistant speaker, according to three sources familiar with McCarthy’s pitch."

From :

After granted immunity, Mark Meadows told special counsel team that was repeatedly told his election fraud claims were baseless and that he was being "dishonest" with the public.

(I'm predicting that Trump will now claim he barely knows Meadows, who never worked for him ...)

If Emmer withdraws, then quite possibly there's no other Speaker candidate.

I've seen people in social media bashing because today's initial relief convoy wasn't more.

Biden covered all this in a press conference:

* The road was "in bad shape." It needed to be graded and paved. Asphalt needs time to dry.

* The initial run of 20 was a test -- (1) of the road, (2) to assure Hamas didn't loot the trucks, and (3) to give international monitors time to test their inspections that assure no Hamas weapons are smuggled in.

People need to chill. 🙄

Only 25 House Republicans publicly voted against Jim Jordan today.

When they conducted a secret ballot in a closed meeting, Republicans rejected him 86-112.

Which means that 87 House Republicans didn't have the courage to publicly vote against him (112 minus 25).
