Rep. Matt Gaetz files resolution to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:49:30 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz filed a resolution late Monday to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker, setting up a likely showdown vote in the House in the days ahead.The far-right Republican from Florida has for months threatened to use the procedural tool — called a motion to vacate — to try to strip McCarthy of his office. Those threats escalated over the weekend after McCarthy relied on Democrats to provide the necessary votes to fund the government.In an earlier speech on the House floor, Gaetz demanded McCarthy disclose the details of a supposed deal the speaker made with the White House to bring forward legislation to help fund the war in Ukraine during funding negotiations.“It is becoming increasingly clear who the speaker of the House already works for and it’s not the Republican Conference,” Gaetz said in his speech, hours before he filed the resolution.Brushing off the threat, McCarthy told reporters earlier at the Capitol, “I’m focused on doing the work that has...

Robbins: GOP ‘impeachment inquiry’ lays an egg

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:49:30 GMT

The tip-off that House Republicans’ cobbled-together opening of their “impeachment inquiry” into President Joe Biden was going to flop came last Wednesday, the day before the first hearing. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R.-MO), whose unfortunate lot it was to hold a press conference announcing new “evidence” that Biden had used his public office to help his son Hunter, was utterly unable to explain how there was evidence of any such thing.Asked by NBC’s Ryan Nobles how a document dated August 2017 could suggest that Biden had used public office to benefit his son when Biden held no office at the time, Congressman Smith sounded a very great deal like Jackie Gleason’s iconic Ralph Kramden character failing miserably at answering basic questions from his wife Alice. “I’m not an expert on the timeline,” Smith blathered. “I would love to have President Biden and his family to tell us all about the timelines.”“But if he’s not the president or the vice-president at t...

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:49:30 GMT

There wasn’t much for Lonzo Ball to say at his third media day as a Chicago Bull.The updates were basic. Ball said he is “about halfway” through rehabilitation from his third knee surgery and has experienced “no setbacks” since the cartilage transplant procedure in March.For Ball, no news is good news — or at least better than he’s used to receiving.Ball is not expected to play for the Bulls this season. It will mark his second consecutive season without recording a single minute on the court. But if all goes according to plan, Ball and the Bulls are hopeful the point guard’s years-long ordeal will conclude in time for the 2024-25 season.“It’s not really a set timeline, but I pretty much have this whole year to get as healthy as possible and be ready to go next season,” Ball said. “I’m taking each week just trying to stay positive.”A lack of setbacks is a best-case scenario for Ball, wh...

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 14:49:30 GMT

Brad Stevens and the rest of the Celtics front office were monitoring the Damian Lillard situation all summer. Not necessarily because they wanted to land Lillard. But the C’s knew a domino effect would follow once the former Blazers star was traded, that another player they would be attracted to would come available.The Celtics did their homework.

And when Jrue Holiday became available as a result, they were ready to pounce.The Celtics have long coveted Holiday, the All-Defensive guard with an edge and toughness they lost earlier this summer when they traded Marcus Smart. A proven champion. Stevens didn’t waste the opportunity.“There’s a list of guys in the league that you always think you’ll never h...
