    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    House Republicans had a chaotic October — ousting Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, fighting bitterly about it for weeks, and then electing Mike Johnson to replace him, seemingly because no know knew him well enough to hate him.

    The party is now at odds over Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat whom Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to censure for participating in a Gaza ceasefire protest at the Capitol last month.

    Greene absurdly called the nonviolent demonstration an “insurrection,” both at the time and in her proposed censure, which 23 Republicans joined Democrats in voting to table.

    Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) — who has been criminally indicted for a wide away of alleged fraud — on Wednesday night survived an expulsion attempt brought by members of his own party.

    Santos is a stain on this institution and not fit to serve his constituents in the House of Representatives,” Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.), who brought the resolution, said on the floor.

    The House GOP is paralyzed by petty feuds and clearly has no interest in actually governing, but you wouldn’t know it from listening to Speaker Johnson on Thursday morning.
