Which is why the Rules vote is being postponed until Monday. McCarthy needs to find enough Rs to strike the deals he made.
Of course he didn't make those terrible deals because he's a good person. He's desperate for control that he will only actually have if he manages to find the votes to save his well-laid ass.

Elon Musk reinstated Mike Flynn's Twitter account yesterday - clearly a very deliberate and very cynical statement.
Musk also reinstated the account of David Icke yesterday too - a Grade A conspiracy theorist wacko nut job and anti-Semite.
Musk really is a revolting person.

Good thing Musk has nothing better to do than to be on Twitter.

6-year-old in custody after shooting teacher in Virginia, police chief says | CNN
A 6-year-old boy is in police custody after he shot a teacher at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, Friday afternoon, Police Chief Steve Drew said in a news conference.
Drew said the female teacher was shot inside a classroom and added that “this was not an accidental shooting.”
Not too shocking these days

How do you even take a 6-year-old to trial? I know it says he's too young, but something like that can't go unpunished and his parents should probably get the book thrown at them. I mean, how hard is it to secure your guns? Mines are in a locked cabinet with another lock around the gun itself or around the trigger. The ammo is in a separate locked box that's not in the cabinet. If my son wanted to get at them, he'd have to know where the guns were, locate the keys, locate the ammo box, figure out how to load it, and do all this without me knowing.

I don't know. Particular circumstances, especially that the assailant is SIX, make it pretty shocking.6-year-old in custody after shooting teacher in Virginia, police chief says | CNN

Only when transporting your firearm. When you're driving somewhere, the ammo needs to be separate from the weapon. If I'm going to the range and just have one box of ammo, I put it in the glovebox and put my gun case in the cargo area. If I'm taking several boxes of ammo, I use a locking ammo box and put it either on the front passenger side floor or in the back seat.
I keep my ammo and guns separate in the house because it makes the most sense with a kid. In Utah, I had a lock box that was next to my bed, but that was for self-defense, and my son really wasn't curious. Now he loves to get into things and he's smart enough to know how to unlock doors, so it makes sense to put as many layers of security as I can. I don't really need self-defense where I live since the crime rate is super low and I live in woods in a rural area. I'll eventually get one of those bio lock cases that scans your handprint and opens for my handgun, but my rifles will always be secured with the ammo separately.

There are some reports that suggest that the child brought bullets to the school a week before the shooting, which if true would indicate that the child did not merely happen upon a loaded gun and/or a gun and ammo, but that they had regular and unfettered access to it. Couple that with premeditation, and it's quite possible that even a 6-y.o. child could be charged with attempted first degree murder, assuming the poor teacher survives. As for the parents/guardians, they should also face lengthy prison sentences.

Colorado to stop busing migrants after pleas from NYC and Chicago mayors
Colorado will stop sending migrants to New York and Chicago, according to a press release from Colorado Gov. Jared Polis.
Colorado has been busing "migrants" to other cities such as New York and Chicago. The mayors in those cities are complaining, how is this different from what DeSantis did? Well, it's pretty different, and the reason is not because DeSantis is a republican and Polis (governor of Colorado) is a democrat.
The reason it's different is that Colorado has been bussing migrants to their intended destination. I imagine this was a pretty easy call. We could either spend money to shelter them in Denver, or we could spend (probably less) money to just send them to where they wanted to go in the first place - often cities like New York or Chicago. The mayors or New York and Chicago are complaining though because their shelters are overloaded. So how is that different from DeSantis? The people aren't being kidnapped or tricked into being transported to someplace they had no intention of going as a political stunt. This is just helping people get to the city they wanted to get to.
To me, this looks like New York and Chicago's problem rather than Colorado's. If the migrants want to go to another city, and Denver is happy to pay to bus them there, I don't see exactly how the other city can stop this. They have asked the Colorado stop doing this though, and our governor has agreed. I gather it just comes down to the problems they'll be facing the moment they get off the bus. Still, that means sheltering people in Denver that don't even want to be here.

Greene has also purportedly been locked out of her Twitter account for DMCA violation, which is just amazing.
