Above, Linda Ronstadt performs You're No Good. Today we look at the ever-shrinking gavel of K-Mac (eww, gross!), you know, now that he has gotten his Precious.

Michael in Norfolk says K-Mac is making America the opposite of great.

Show Me Progress show us some reaction to one member's loyal 15 votes for K-Mac.

No More Mister Nice Blog advises the MAGA cultists in the House to form their own party.

Lawyers, Gun & Money says it's personal, not business.

Bonus Track: Bad Newspaper proves that good editors get the last laugh.

Before we despair about K-Mac grabbing the gavel, may I suggest that what we are witnessing is the birth of a parliamentary system. As long as the Republicans are essentially fractured into some sort of power-sharing deal with the MAGA and with an incredibly weak Speaker, there's opportunity here for a unified Democratic party.

Carry-on, Crooks and Liars. I hope to return soon!
