@GOPLeader

Overnight @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy's support remained very strong. Anger among the 200 v. the 20 grew and became vocal. The permanent damage to the careers of the 20 begins today. Their legacy media heat shield is melting away and the reasonable few have to find a way out stat 1

I'll play the presser of the score of veterans who seem particularly incensed b/c they know how leadership works. The grandstanding could go on a long time, but it is clear that McCarthy is not quitting and his rock-solid support is not slipping. 2

@HouseGOP

Now it is just a question of how much damage the 20 do to the 200, to themselves, the @HouseGOP and the party. It is already enormous but it is growing. Now the 20 have publicly spurned former President Trump. Quite the plan they put together. 3

@GOPLeader

Legacy media is full of “alternatives to @GOPLeader McCarthy as Speaker.” But there aren’t any. These outlets, unfailingly left wing, love narratives of GOP in chaos, hope that tomorrow’s 1st ballot wounds McCarthy. But there is no alternative, the Crank Caucus notwithstanding 1

A handful of GOP outliers are feeding legacy media as much damaging narrative as they can, and they might delay organizing the House. But it’s just terrible “journalism” to make up alternatives to Speaker McCarthy when there are none. The outliers just want and need attention. 2

Matt Gaetz is the one GOP Conference member who has monetized eccentricity to such an extent that he thinks he is somehow gaining by this suicide bombing of the smooth transition. He’s not of course, though he probably thinks it diverts from his even less flattering coverage. 3

@ijbailey

Been thinking about @ijbailey interview this AM and his subsequent Twitter thread on the burden of a stutter. Lefty-land MSNBC put me on at 7:30 AM on a Sat morning and I had 75K+ watch. Can you imagine the audience for @ijbailey just among people who stutter (3 million in US)? 1

@peacock

It’s a hard thing to imagine, but audience would follow such a show while such a show would also encourage Americans with disabilities of all sorts. It would have an insta-audience. Maybe @peacock first? But I have to think a smart guy like @ijbailey could make it work. 2

And in so doing he’d be educating and informing the audience how to make “it” work —“it” being how the people without disabilities should interact w/ people w/them. It would take some courage by everyone involved, but I think it would be a breakthrough. 3

@donlemon

I'd like to thank @donlemon and @CNN for its rude, unprofessional treatment of @MessageFromLen last week, b/c it led to my booking him for this AM when he can review not only what Don didn't last week, but the new fractures in Iran's regime featured in @WSJ this AM. 1

@mikepompeo

Len of course condemned the dinner at Mar-a-Lago but if Don had any iota of curiosity, he'd have known his back story as a Soviet Jew who came to America as a child w/o any English and came to lead the efforts by @mikepompeo @KeithJKrach to undermine mullahs from State. 2

@donlemon

Of course @donlemon could not be bothered top do a lick of research on @MessageFromLen and was so focused on berating a Jew who worked for Trump rather than finding out who their guest was and why he worked for Trump that they missed the story while injuring CNN Again. 3

@RishiSunak

I’m watching @RishiSunak v. @trussliz closely for what it portends for U.K., Europe and of course U.S. New PM will get a brief honeymoon and has to move quickly to put their stamp on the future as an election is two years off. Almost every senior executive misses one thing: 1

@JoeBiden

How very little time they have to implement their key legislative objectives. @JoeBiden chose to spend billions on an inflationary splurge, but got nothing lasting like immigration reform. Former Presidents Trump and Obama picked tax cuts and Obamacare respectively. 2

Trump also got three #SCOTUS nominations which is his most lasting legacy, and the Abraham Accords, many deregulatory wins and the First Step Act, but not “the Wall,” and not party momentum. In two party systems, party momentum must be achieved. 3

@CapehartJ

I'll be joining @CapehartJ and @Eugene_Robinson on @PostLive this AM, discussing the Nancy Pelosi 1/6 Committee and Justice Thomas' concurrence in Dobbs. On the latter point of what the justice said and didn't say, there is a crucial passage. 1

Do "other constitutional provisions guarantee the myriad rights that our substantive due process cases have generated...[are] any of the rights announced in [the] substantive due process cases...'privileges or immunities of citizens of the U.S. protected by the 14th Amendment"? 2

Justice Thomas' long battle against "substantive due process" is a lonely crusade and w/o allies on #SCOTUS in the Dobbs decision. But he does not telegraph the end of same sex marriage or contraception. Absurd to say there is a "threat" to either. supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf… 3
