Deep dives

Kevin McCarthy and Matt Gaetz in a Battle for House Speaker

Kevin McCarthy is facing a motion to vacate his position as House Speaker, led by Matt Gaetz. McCarthy has shown a willingness to compromise and avoid a government shutdown or debt default, which has frustrated some Republicans. However, it is unlikely that Democrats will support removing McCarthy from his position, as he has been willing to work with them in order to keep the government functioning. While McCarthy may face opposition within his own party, it is uncertain if there is anyone willing or able to take his place as Speaker.

I’ve been using Snipd for about a year and this app has been life changing. I listen to about 17 hours of podcasts a week and I want to take notes on 95% of them. Snipd makes it so easy to do. I can triple click my headphones and record a snip. The app also improves rapidly which is welcomed. It’s an easy subscription for me to pay.
