House Republicans are struggling with the same battles over government funding that led to the chaotic unseating of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), seemingly cutting any honeymoon short for new Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.). GOP leadership this week yanked two spending bills from the floor amid disputes on spending and other controversial policy items. With a government funding deadline less than a week away, the conference seems hopelessly divided on how to avert a shutdown.
They didn’t have the votes so they pulled the bills. Then Johnson called an early recess and jetted off to Paris. 6 days to shutdown.
About that time for a vote of no confidence
is that rule still in place that allows any single member to call for a motion to vacate the chair?

Probably for the best actually. With the beating Republicans took this week, moderates might be receptive to a compromise Democrat speaker. Otherwise, the extremist wing will utterly ruin them.

if Jesus can’t manage your own House
This line is so pointed and literal. I love that even the Christians are reading the writing on the wall that their group is more akin to satanic than godly, even if they don’t realize it

Jesus left some fairly straightforward and unambiguous instructions for his followers. The trouble is that conservatives only want the clout of associating with Christ and the power that comes with the authority of speaking on behalf of God.
