No more voting for Speaker today. They’ll be at it again tomorrow, with the same outcome.

This is why the entire GOP needs to be razed. They know this stops work in Congress and the CR is set to run out in a few weeks. No speaker means no one to negotiate a new CR. No speaker means key legislation doesn’t get passed. No speaker means the extremist GOP intent on shutting down govt and defunding key programs gets to do it by other means.

That’s why they’re doing a vote a day. And they’ll still fail to pick a speaker. Because that’s the outcome they want.

Colleague Liz Elkind rpts no more votes for Speaker today. Another round tomorrow
