on how much the U.S. government can borrow to pay its bills. The ceiling is expected to be hit this summer or fall. If it isn’t raised, the country will default on its debt, which many economists fear would set off a global fiscal calamity.White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Sunday that “Congress is going to need to raise the debt limit without, without conditions.”

Rep. James Comer , who supported McCarthy in every round of voting, said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he expects a hard-right Republican to eventually challenge McCarthy with such a motion. “I’m not convinced we can go the entire Congress without having it,” Comer said.Other Republicans signaled uneasiness about the deal McCarthy struck. Rep. Tony Gonzales said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that “you can’t let the insurgency caucus take hold and dictate.

Roy defended even such chaotic scenes, saying the American people got to see pushback against power brokers. “Matt Gaetz is a fraud,” Rep. Nancy Mace said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “Every time he voted against Kevin McCarthy last week, he sent out a fundraising email,” she added.

Don’t agree with most of their policies but much better than Pelosi lead House where Dems voted like robots for things their constituents didn’t want like 87,000 IRS agents

Only you fascist lefties would call genuine, sincere disagreement and the use of democratic process to express them “divisive.” You’re literally traumatized when people act in Congress like they’re SUPPOSED TO ACT.

The House of Representatives is supposed to be divisive you absolute knobs.

Deep rifts, also known as Democracy. The hold outs were representing the views of their constituency which is what they were sent to Washington to do.

Propagandistic WaPo reporters keep up biased and 'divisive (story framing) tactics' would be a much more honest characterization of the Post's reporting on this and virtually every other article it churns out.

Raise your hand if you are shocked that the obstructionist insurrectionist party of anti-democracy is gonna attempt to keep the government from functioning.

🗑️ RepublicansCanNotGovern

Just wait until they show how dirty the FBI is

Look forward to all the positive legislation.

You & I just paid the US House of Representatives $2 million dollars to spend 4 days doing absolutely nothing but electing a Speaker. May not be a lot to you but it is to me. You know how many people we could feed with that money? GOP no longer gets to bitch about spending.

Lol Wapo talking about being divisive. Zero self awareness

Because they are not in it for we the people they are in it for themselves! Unbelievable!

Whatever. Are these the guys who predicted a red tide?

URGENT! MohammadGhobadlou & MohammadBoroughani have been transferred to solitary confinement & are at serious risk of being executed in the coming hours. We must do everything in our power to prevent these executions! IranRevoIution mahsaami̇ni̇

Imagine 🗑️ WaPo defending a 'you need to pass it to find out what's in it.' congress and shredding a limited Congress as 'divisive.' Truly, the enemy of the people. 🤡🗑️

if mccarthy really wanted to be like trump he'd backstab the insurgents and make a deal with the majority of his caucus to pass rules that neuter their dumb asses but i'm not holding my breath.

REDUMBLIKKKANS R BAD END ARE MORE WORSTER THEN HITLER!

If it prevents Congress from spending another $1.7 trillion on pork and handouts without reading or debating the bill, then good, glad to hear this news.

I always laugh seeing Dems complain about Republicans being divisive. You wrote the book on it!!

The only ones with a set of balls in all of Congress.

The clown show will continue

How about report on this: “Newly released documents show that the WH has played a major role in censoring Americans on social media. The emails emerged in the discovery phase of Missouri v. Biden, a free-speech case brought by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana”

It's telling that the American media is offended by differing ideas.

I love divisive tactics.

some call it divisive tactics, others call it debate potato potato

These are domestic terrorists that want to hurt people. Clearly state that. They hate this country.

I hear this type of chat and wonder if the people paying them really want the representation being provided…

In other news, water is wet.

An objective news source

Their enemy is fellow Americans. It’s Pathetic and unAmerican

Insurrectionists, short the U.S. Dollar and the markets.

In other words, Republicans will keep acting like Republicans, an idea-less lot of conspiracy-minded dullards singularly uninterested in governing.

Stop voting for clowns.

Mohammad Broghani and Mohammad Ghobadlou have been moved to solitary confinement . Their lives are in serious danger. MohammadBroghani MohammadGhobadlou

MohammadGhobadlou and MohammadBroghani were transfered to solitary confinement in RajaeiShahr prison an hour ago to execute the death sentence
