| | | | | | Surely, you are aware that Kevin McCarthy became the first Speaker of the House to get booted from the job, a historically unprecedented move initiated by members of his own party. It was a mutiny. No other way to describe it. And it's worth revisiting TPM's Live Blog of the day's events as we documented and preserved for posterity every stupid twist and stupider turn as the day unfolded. In yesterday's Morning Memo, which you should subscribe to if you don't already, David Kurtz explained how this is actually just a symptom of much larger, protracted GOP rot. Josh Marshall and Kate Riga broke down McCarthy's predicament on the latest ep of the Josh Marshall Podcast. | | | | | | | | | | | It's pretty easy to look at all the Young Guns memes and just say, man, these people are all clowns. And you'd be right. But it's also important not to lose sight of the fact this has never happened before. Matt Gaetz—a guy who grew up living in the Truman Show house, and who currently is under multiple House ethics investigations—successfully ousted the Speaker of the House of the United States of America as part of a broader far-right temper tantrum. We're living in unprecedented times. And in these unprecedented times, you need a publication who will just tell you what the hell is happening—not try to score points with their lobbyist or their sources on the Hill. TPM can be that publication. | | | | | | | | | | | This email was sent to trongrau1368.tpmf@blogger.com You received this email because you are registered with TPM | | | | | | | |
