    And a special cheers to the Reuters photog Jonathan Ernst who captured all of the frustration, regret, and failure of the moment in one sour expression: a sweet, sweet nectar!

    Pulitzer material right there.

        I have a vehicle with normal gibberish for a license number. I bought a plate frame that says, “That’s Numberwang!!”

        I know it’s only one in a thousand that someone will actually recognize the joke and get it, but that it is non-zero makes it all worth it to me.

        I’m telling you just so that one other person who knows the glorious game of Numberwang is aware. I live for these jokes.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The loss means that for now the House remains leaderless, as it has been since a handful of Republican hardliners engineered Kevin McCarthy’s ouster as speaker two weeks ago.

    Many of them are moderates who represent politically competitive districts, while others specialize in negotiating the complex spending bills that keep the U.S. government running, deals that typically require a willingness to compromise.

    Four Republicans from the New York City area said they voted against Jordan because he opposed benefits for survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, as well as tax policies and disaster aid that would help their residents.

    “He is a patriot, an America First warrior who wins the toughest of fights,” Republican Representative Elise Stefanik said as she nominated Jordan for speaker on the House floor.

    Democratic Representative Pete Aguilar said on the House floor that Jordan’s election would show the U.S.’ enemies that "the very people who seek to undermine democracy are rewarded with positions of immense power.

    A fixture on conservative media outlets, Jordan has used his perch as chair of the House Judiciary Committee to help lead an impeachment inquiry into Biden that Democrats decry as baseless.


    The original article contains 781 words, the summary contains 193 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    He should try declaring the vote illegitimate and inciting a mob to take over the House—that’s a good trick!
