I think there’s no time like the present for Special Council Jack Smith to initiate recusal proceedings against Judge Aileen Cannon.

For all intents and purposes, I believe so. But one of the points that actually got a laugh in the oral arguments was how divided (ineffective) the Congress is.

I’ve applied for half-a-dozen private trackers, but they’ve all turned me down. Definitely seems counter to the entire idea of piracy IMO.

Jordan says House will hold next speaker vote at noon ET Thursday

House Republican supporters of a resolution to temporarily empower interim Speaker Patrick McHenry are working to maximize GOP votes and educate members about the effort. Florida Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a chief Republican opponent of Jim Jordan’s speakership bid, said on Wednesday that the speaker designee would lose a “bigger chunk” of GOP floor votes on a third ballot. The 11-term South Florida congressman said he would “never” back Jordan for speaker.

No more votes expected in the House today, with lawmakers set to reconvene at 11 a.m. Wednesday

No additional votes are expected in the House on Tuesday, closing out another day without a permanent House speaker. The House will meet at 11 a.m. (EST) Wednesday and proceed to a second ballot in an attempt to elect a speaker.

It may not be the Jan 6th indictment birthday present I was hoping for, but further obstruction counts is fine I suppose!
