Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), who chairs the Armed Services Committee, told reporters Thursday after a closed-door House GOP meeting that he wants Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to tell Republicans what concessions they’ll have to make for Democrats to help them elect a speaker—underscoring the chaotic race to find a new House leader as Republican options grow short to overcome an intraparty impasse.

    Or how almost all of this is predicated on not working with Democrats as their default. Bipartisanship is a sin for them. It’s one of the worst things they could possibly consider doing.

    McCarthy nullifies those maga clowns months ago by making a deal with the Dems: I won’t bring an impeachment inquiry we all know is fucking dumb, if you vote for me when they try to oust me.

    All.he had to do, during the shutdown fiasco, is work with the Dems and make that same deal.
