Tuesday is the first day of the 118th Congress, with “Speaker-Elect” Kevin McCarthy’s situation so fucked up we’ve no choice but to cover it live as the full magnitude of his long list failures as a public servant and a man come to grief. Stick around for real-time updates on that and other storylines as we begin this new era of a divided government within a divided government.
We’ll keep this going as late as we can and be back at it dark and early on Wednesday morning if the House can’t elect a Speaker before then. It ought to be entertaining, whatever ends up happening.
