That Congress is so corrupted & beholden to lobbyists and special interests that it took this kind of showdown to all “the people” to actually be heard indicates the depths of its malfeasance
It means nothing. Anything, IF anything, that gets done in the House still has to pass the Senate, which it won't. McCarthy took over speaker's office days ago. Wheeled in $10K worth of champagne last night--on our dime. Deal was done weeks ago; this was all theatrics to ensure re-election.

not so fast: look up "motion to vacate", a founding principle of America’s representative democracy and legislative process that holds the Speaker of the House accountable and makes the position a fireable one, because Pelosi’s totalitarian version of the "motion to vacate" is struck - https://ussanews.com/2023/01/08/here-are-kevin-mccarthys-house-rules-the-new-118th-congress-will-vote-up-or-down-on-monday/
This was primarily about abortion? Disgusting! Why are "Evangelicals" (Calvinist slavers) permitted to be the dictators?
