In an hour and a half, House Republicans will head to 1100 Longworth to elect a speaker.

I've never seen the House Republican Conference so discombobulated, rudderless and confused in my time covering Congress.

They said they'd spend the fall passing bills using regular order, instead they've booted their speaker and are warring over the next one.

They are rewriting the rules for the election the day of the election after criticizing states for doing that in 2020.

They are taking the cell phones of elected officials when they go into meetings -- these are adults with staffs who are not able to bring their electronics into party meetings.

This speaker election could go a while. Two weeks now on an internal party matter with govt funding expiring in a month and change

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

This fucking maniac likely gave Putin (who gave Iran, who gave Hamas) Israel's national security secrets…

Plus, he divulged highly classified information about our nuclear subs to an Australian cardboard guy.

Why is he still allowed to roam free?

Never thought I'd live to see the day when jurors would need protection from intimidation by a former President of the United States, but Special Counsel Jack Smith CORRECTLY requested that protection from Judge Tanya Chutkan.

WOW.

[Norman Ornstein @NormOrnstein]

Here is some thing for congressional reporters to follow up on. When Patrick McHenry became acting speaker, he took two official actions, vindictively ousting Pelosi and Hoyer from their Capitol spaces. Then he said he has no power as acting speaker. What gives? 1/

How US is “projecting weakness:”
- No House Speaker
- MAGA cutting aid to Ukraine
- Tuberville holds on 300 military leaders
- Paul holds on ambassadors
- Leading GOP candidate indicted on 91 crimes and counting
- MAGA $25M plan to gut US government

It ain’t Joe. It’s the GOP

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

New data shows that 1.4 million wealthy Americans are evading nearly $66 billion in federal taxes.

The 2,000 highest-earning tax dodgers alone owe $923 million.

There’s a very simple reason Republicans want to keep the IRS underfunded: So rich tax cheats get away with it.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Hey Marjorie: You are lying. President Biden is NOT taking a day off. He already met with staff & will speak with allies later. Trump shared Israeli intelligence with Russia & funded Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard. And Biden has NOTHING to do with this. F*ck off, Marjorie.

“Let me say again to anyone — any country, any organization — thinking about taking advantage of this situation: don’t. Don’t. Our hearts may be broken, but our resolve is clear.”

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

The Israeli government has cut off food, water, and fuel to 2 million people inside Gaza. Collective punishment is not only contrary to international law, it is inhumane and illogical. How will this deescalate the violence rather than radicalize many more? It is madness.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

KKK scumbag Tommy Tuberville is a traitor, an embarrassment, an idiot, a coward, a Russian asset and a fucking disgrace. He should be indicted on treason charges, not filing frivolous police reports against a decorated US General who called him out for being a piece of shit.

[Victor Shi @Victorshi2020]

Holy shit. FOUR former Ohio State University wrestlers who accused Jim Jordan of taking no action against a sexual predator just spoke out against his bid for Speaker, asking, “Do you really want a guy in that job who chose not to stand up for his guys?” This is amazing.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

[I Smoked Mitch McConnell's Brain @BlackKnight10k]

Hey guys, remember that time we found out Trump committed espionage by disseminated classified information about our nuclear submarine capabilities to a foreign national?

That was 5 days ago.

Shouldn't the media be looking into that?

[Prez @PrezLives2022]

Want to hear a good conspiracy theory? Suppose Republicans crippled the House by removing McCarthy intentionally because they had good information that Hamas was going to attack Israel… Hamas is a puppet of Putin as is Trump… having an escalation when we have no SOTH means we are constrained from providing any assistance to Israel if we wanted to… so now the House won’t provide funding for Ukraine and they won’t be able to provide funding to Israel… both of these are big wins for MAGA who love Putin and hate Jewish people… the Nazis now control our government… don’t act like you haven’t thought this 😂

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Shouldn't Biden/McConnell/Schumer agree now on a big, year-long Arsenal of Democracy supplemental, with ample funding for Ukraine and Israel as well as for border security? Get it passed ASAP in the Senate, and have a discharge petition ready with 218 signatures in the House.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

There are thousands of PAID fake accounts on Twitter spreading the lie that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will only takes votes from Trump. Listen to me carefully.

That's not true.

He will take votes from Biden and in a very close election a third party candidate could be a spoiler.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Moore v. US is a huge deal.

If SCOTUS strikes down the repatriation tax, massive corporations will get billions in tax giveaways.

Here’s the kicker: Justice John Roberts and Samuel Alito together hold stock in 19 companies who would get over $30 billion in tax breaks.

Unreal.

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

My piece for the LA Times:

"There is a childlike need for many Republicans in what was once “the establishment” to believe that the Trump years were some aberration, that the party was “hijacked” by Donald Trump. The problem with this is that the passengers on the hijacked plane do not cheer for the terrorist. But in the Republican Party, the hijacker is the most popular person on the plane."

Confused about how Hamas might have been able to get the intel needed to carry out such an attack on Israel? I’ll give you one clue:
