Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

What about reports that he's a bitch?
Kevin McCarthy is a female dog?
"I am not a crook..."
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is denying reports that he is expected to step down from Congress before the end of his term – telling reporters on Friday that he still has “work to do,” after sending signals in private conversations that he could step down early from Congress.
Earlier Friday, multiple sources familiar with McCarthy’s thinking told CNN that he was expected to step down at some point after the House speaker’s election.
Pressed on whether he has considered stepping down early, he said, “I look at it every time I have to decide whether I am going to run for reelection or not.”
After the House voted to oust McCarthy, the California Republican did not say whether he would remain in Congress.
Following the vote, McCarthy opted not to run again for the gavel, setting off a race for a new speaker.
On Friday, McCarthy added that he has talked to both Scalise and Jordan but would not endorse anyone when pressed.
The original article contains 322 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 49%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Kevin is dumb and can't do math. Kevin needed democrats to get anything done and keep his job.
He should be forced to walk out of the house nude with everyone yelling "shame!" repeated at him. There needs to be rotten vegetables available to everyone. Maybe this is too much...but he should just leave.
