Remember how he couldn’t get votes from within his own party when running for Speaker?

They don’t like him that much. Will they like this agreement?

“After weeks of negotiations, we have come to an agreement in principle," McCarthy said speaking in the U.S. Capitol. "We still have a lot of work to do …”

Tennessee Speaker appoints conspiracy theorist to develop state social studies standards

#Laurie #Cardoza-#Moore, known for holding extremist views and promoting conspiracy theories, has called "U.S. history #textbooks" currently used in classrooms the "#greatest #national #security #threat to the United States."

Last week, #Tennessee #House #Speaker Cameron #Sexton (R) announced that he had appointed Cardoza-Moore to serve on the Tennessee #Standards #Recommendation Committee to oversee “#Social #Studies materials being reviewed for use in classrooms #statewide.”

With her new appointment, Cardoza-Moore will have the power to “submit final recommendations for [Social Studies] standards to the State Board.”

It's important to understand that, contrary to what the #Speaker said in his interview, he IS allowed to know about the investigation. In fact, he MUST know about it because he decides the fate of the accused. Speaker #Sexton is #gaslighting and #lying to Tennessee citizens.

Here's more details about the actual cover-up, from the very very excellent reporting of @juddlegum.

I got my latest #conference #speaker outfit back from the tailor this week, so on this #ReverseCasualFriday I can share it with you.
Open questions: Where to attach the microphone pack? I'm thinking about a wide white belt but I'm open for suggestions.
Black kitten heels or neon pink high heels? Both are not ideal but getting new shoes won't work out.

I'm old enough to remember (because it was just yesterday) when the House #GOP leadership insisted there would be no 11th hour changes to their #DebtCeiling bill... just before a swarm of 11thhour changes.

I'm not sure "leadership" is the same as "for the love of God, what do we need to give you to get your vote, because the alternative would be really embarrassing for #Speaker #McCarthy ?"

So my DIY jank speaker is a ... booming success, sounds better than I anticipated. It's much less "portable" than I wanted, but what can I want from a 20x20x20cm OSB cube.

Now I need to add the LiFePo4 batteries + BMS, volt+amp meter, figure out the wiring, and also the way to make the volume+freq cutoff control knobs accessible without affecting the air-proofing (which I learned is very important for that deep bass, as I'm going for a sealed design).

Hi Everyone,
(Yeah, you too. This is for you, if you want. Or not, if you're busy.)

This is my #introduction thingy.
I moved to LA because I was trying to be a #comedy writer and/or comedian. I did a lot of #improv and #sketch, and some #standup. It didn't really work out as a career, but I wouldn't trade the experiences for anything. I really got a chance to laugh a lot and make people laugh, and I loved all of it.

I've worked in a few fields and am now a #Trainer, #Speaker, and #CareerCoach. I think I enjoy being a career coach the most because I'm helping people from underserved communities find the right path for them, or just validating that it's OK if you don't know where you want to be, and jobs are just one aspect of life anyway.

I love to #travel and have gone to about 15 - 20 countries. But with COVID and my concerns about climate change, I'm rethinking that.

You'll probably see my posts be edited as I try to get the wording right, or if I'm worried I've upset someone.

I like to retoot silly, kind toots that speak to the #absurdity of life or are just good #puns. I also like #cuteanimals a lot.

I'm married to an amazing woman. We recently put down our 15-year-old schnauzer Patches and I still miss him. And I'm #liberal af.

I guess that's enough to go on, right? If you made it this far, thank you for reading!

In general: McCarthy gets my condolences. He faces a House held hostage for 4 days by a tiny fringe of his own GOP conference.

Specifically: How he will rate in my book depends initially on the final rules package and who ends up on what committees -- versus his supposed concessions to the holdouts during those craven "hostage negotiations."

If he sticks Gaetz in charge of a subcommittee on broom closets, 10 bonus points for finally having some spine.
