1/ How to interpret Qevin McCarthy's rant last night?
First, it has nothing to do with stopping the actual bill. It was a late night C-SPAN circle jerk of de minimis legislative import.
It was sound and fury, signifying nothing, a mouse produced after a prodigious labor.

2/ No, what this was really about is Kevin watching the reality of Speaker Jim Jordan looming over his shoulder.
The House now has a critical mass of MAGA Trumphadis who view Kevin as a dangerous accommodationist, an impure vessel.
That number will increase.

3/ The same redistricting and gerrymandering that ensures about 12-14 seats (for reasons too long and boring to explicate here) will be added to their total will also bring a new cohort of purist lunatics more in line with Gosar, Green, Gaetz, and the rest of the mutant parade.
4/ Qevin is from the Old Order. The Young Guns (Google it lol) era. The avuncular, 9th hole brotastic backslapper who can go to major corporate donors and promise to control the crazy and deliver for them.
He's lying to them, and he knows it. He's not the future.

5/ Kevin never met a spending bill he didn't want to take home to Mom.
This newfound fiscal discipline after the spending he supported during the Trump era is risible.
It's ludicrous kayfabe.

6/ But his ambition is boundless and he'll play the game to cling to the big job.
So endeth.
