Squeaker McCarthy faces removal by his own "Confederates". Popcorn! --
House Democrats will continue to put people over politics.
— Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) October 3, 2023
We are ready to find bipartisan common ground.
Our extreme colleagues have shown no willingness to do the same.
They must find a way to end the House Republican Civil War.
“We are not voting in any way that would help save Speaker McCarthy … Nobody trusts Kevin McCarthy, and why should we?”

How can any Democrat vote for House speaker a man who launched a baseless impeachment inquiry against their president, who supports a demagogue who tried to mount a coup and incited violence, and who attempted to blame them for the near- shutdown of the USG?

"Only the Best," Trump lawyers edition, part infinity --
Trump’s lawyers FAILED to ask for a jury.
— Tristan Snell (@TristanSnell) October 3, 2023
NY AG Letitia James asked for a “Trial without jury” — a bench trial, with the judge deciding.
After the AG filed this form, Trump needed to file one of his own.
He never did. pic.twitter.com/5qmdxonchK
When the judge just informed your client that the only reason he doesn’t get a jury trial is because you forgot to check the box to ask for one. pic.twitter.com/YHtGmJavoe

Not even in a 1.8 million dollar property --
I'm sorry, but a "1.8 billion dollar property" would not have that springloaded shower curtain rod. Or that plastic trash bin. Or that chandelier from Home Depot. pic.twitter.com/U6NXuPmaI1

What's that Musk-y smell? He's reportedly on a Ketamine kick --
ICYMI (DAILY BEAST): “Musk has long touted ketamine as an alternative to antidepressants—but some of his associates suggested to The New Yorker that his personal use of the drug has been on the rise recently, perhaps contributing to his erratic behavior.” https://t.co/nSrvafabxZ
