I have the feeling that the House Repubilcans are going to demand all funding be redirected to , otherwise government shutdown.

Of course, they need to elect a speaker first ...

"Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) triggered audible gasps on the House floor when she joined seven hardliners in torpedoing McCarthy during Tuesday’s historic ouster vote.

"He runs up to me and he goes, I'm so-and-so β€” I don't remember his name β€” with the Goyim Defense League," Fine told FLORIDA TODAY. "He then proceeds to unleash a stream of invective about Jews and wanted to know why I wouldn't debate him, or whatever."
