Gaetz said and CR that Democrats supported would be "shot chaser" where the chaser is a motion to vacate McCarthy. So here we go I guess. Punishment for doing the bare minimum of governing.

Let the Republicans tear each other apart. Not something I'm going to cry about.
Ehh there's a pretty decent chance that was a bluff by Gaetz. Reps have no other options for speaker right now; nobody else wants the job, and the very few who do have zero chance of being elected to the position.
Ha! You expected sanity from Gaetz https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/01/us/politics/mccarthy-speaker-gaetz.html?smid=nytcore-android-share
A day after the Republican speaker turned to Democrats for help passing a stopgap spending bill to avert a shutdown, the far-right congressman promised to try to remove him from his post.
Do you know if there's a way to access a non-paywalled version of that article?
Go to any news site. They all have a similar article
I wonder how we got screwed this time.
Congress gave themselves a raise.
Until after the election, this is a 45 day CR.
Not any meaningful federal election. Elections are in 2024.
He may be referring to the upcoming Virginia elections on November 7th. The polls favor the GOP, and a shutdown would have angered Democrats to slaughter the GOP. This CR avoids a doomsday scenario for the Governor's party.
