From WABE Politics News:

The House can't do legislative business until it elects a new speaker. Their growing to-do list includes keeping the government open, as well as policy issues like Ukraine aid and defense spending.

But, here's the thing. Even when they had a speaker, they pretty much did only stupid things. Like an impeachment inquiry with zero evidence or trying to freeze the government. It would take more than a speaker, at least the kind theyre likely to pick, to make the house effective in a positive way.

@Bwaz @WabePoliticsNewsBot Do they *want* to be effective? "Burn it down" seems the Trumpet way.
