Deep dives
Kevin McCarthy ousted as Speaker of the House
Kevin McCarthy is officially out as the speaker of the House of Representatives, becoming the first speaker in history to be voted out of the job by a rebellion of eight Republicans and unified opposition from Democrats.
The challenging job of being the Speaker of the House
The role of Speaker of the House is considered by many to be the worst job in American politics. Historically, Republican speakers have faced particular challenges due to the split within the party between conservatives and moderates. This internal division often makes it difficult to wrangle support and pass legislation.
The potential candidates to replace Kevin McCarthy
As Kevin McCarthy steps down as Speaker of the House, potential candidates to replace him are being considered. Names floated include Steve Scalise, the House Majority Leader, Tom Emmer, the House Majority Whip, and even the possibility of Donald Trump taking on the role. However, Jim Jordan, a conservative Republican, has repeatedly stated that he has no interest in becoming Speaker.
The controversy surrounding the Pope's remarks
Pope Francis has faced controversy due to his remarks on same-sex blessings and potentially allowing a type of woman pre-s-test within the Catholic Church. These comments have sparked concerns among conservatives and traditionalists who fear a potential restructuring of the Church's constitution. The issue of women's roles within the Church is particularly contentious, as it goes against long-held traditions and beliefs.
Republicans oust their Speaker of the House, antidepressants and contraceptives are linked to all sorts of problems, and liberals get terrorized in major cities.
