Rep. Matt Gaetz is planning to attempt to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy from the role this week after the House leader worked with Democrats to avoid a government shutdown on Saturday.

    For real. The only option aside from McCarthy is someone moderate who can pull votes from Dems. These extremist nut jobs only have power because McCarthy is totally beholden to them. A bipartisan, moderate speaker just consigns them to the back row. If they're smart, no way they outst him, just sit back, shut up, and keep collecting those Russian paychecks. But you know, they're stupid.
