Local journalism’s loss; she’s a fantastic reporter.

 

When I was a (sensationally awful) high school wrestler, my teammates and I used to joke about "wrestler head syndrome," where years of cutting weight had burned all the fat out of a guy's face and, combined with a cauliflower ear, showed that the wrestler in question was either really good, really dedicated, or both.

No one in the GOP who wants to be speaker can win the votes to be speaker.

Again: this is easy. Want to be speaker? Get with the dems and hash out a funding bill right now in exchange for their support, but understand that you'll be primaried by someone MAGA.

 

Wow. The Deep State goes deeper than I thought possible.
