#Politics From #CNN: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) says the House will vote today on Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) resolution to oust the speaker.
McCarthy said he won't cut a deal with Democrats to stay in office.

@KGinKS @WordsmithFL As many asked during the Iran Iraq war, can't they somehow both lose? They can.
First, McCarthy removed. First ballot to reappoint him fails. 2-20 fail to elect Gaetz and various others of the loon caucus. Ballots 21-30 fail to elect what passes for moderates in the GOP. Ballot 31 elects Hakeem Jeffries.
@KGinKS To be honest, though, I wouldn't mind seeing Gaetz lose 434-1.
