It was very fun watching Kevin McCarthy trip and fall today in the House as he couldn't convince 20 of his own Republicans to censure Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA). It was equally fun to watch the Senate confirm progressive voting rights activist Dale Ho as a judge for the Southern District of New York — thanks to the absence of Tim Scott, who was fruitlessly campaigning for President in Iowa.
You'd think Mitch McConnell would have better control of his caucus, right? But for McCarthy, the Schiff failure is just the latest rebuke from the people he cannot lead. It was just last week that the far-right knuckleheads of the "Freedom Caucus" ground the chamber to a halt by voting against procedural rules — in a normal House, a big no-no. (Poor Kevin! How simply frightful. How humiliating. How delightful!)
But maybe the best news is that another January 6 insurrectionist has been found guilty. If you've watched any documentaries about that day, you've no doubt seen video of Richard Harris of Happy Valley, Oregon, picking up a phone in the Rotunda and saying, "Can I speak to Pelosi? We're coming, bitch!" — among other niceties.
Can't wait for this particular dude to be sentenced. As the saying goes, lock him up. We cats PURR.
