From Mastodon (and 1856-the last time it took this long to get a SOH)
Some context: the Republicans, after 3 votes, could not solidify support for anyone for #SpeakerOfTheHouse today. No legislative business can be done until this happens. The last time 3+ votes had to happen was just before the Civil War! This is how fractured the party is. It's foreshadowing how the next 2 years will be with them in charge of the House. There is very little MSM talking about this fracturing & how momentous it is. #catawompouslyChawed

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
