Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) took the floor to nominate Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for the eighth time on the House floor to be the Speaker. This time, however, the Democrat nominating him took the opportunity to rebuke the Republican Party.

"The historic dysfunction that we are seeing, in the intra-party fight, that the American people have been drawn into, is imperiling our national security, it will imperil the ability of this government to deliver basic services," Clark warned. "It is imperiling our jobs and our responsibility to serve our constituents."

"Stop the Steal" organizer Ali Alexander threatened to expose some unspecified crime that he claims Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) committed.

The right-wing agitator stepped up his attacks on the Georgia Republican, whose support for Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as House speaker opened a rift with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), with an apparent blackmail threat and a string of misogynist slurs, reported Right Wing Watch.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) went on MSNBC at the 11 o'clock hour with Stephanie Ruhle where she struggled to keep up with the hosts fact-checks. The interview came after Boebert appeared on the Fox network, where Sean Hannity complained that he felt like he was talking to a liberal because Boebert refused to be a Republican team player.

"Uhhh.... okay," Goldberg said after watching the clip of the interview in which Boebert is called out for only having 20 votes on her side. She turned to colleague Alyssa Farah Griffin, who previously served in Donald Trump's White House before abandoning him.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been threatened by Republicans who want to remove him from the House Intelligence Committee because he was an impeachment lawyer for Donald Trump's first trial over the bribery of the president of Ukraine. But speaking to "The View" on Thursday, Schiff made it clear that being kicked off of a committee is the least of his concerns.

"There are much bigger concerns, frankly, about what they will do," Schiff said of the fringe members of the GOP. "McCarthy wanted to overturn the last election even after the violence of that day, and my primary concern is what if we have a truly contested election next time? What if we have one that is very close? We could see McCarthy leading Republicans to try to overturn the result. It was a grave danger to our democracy two years ago. It would be another grave danger to our democracy in the future, but before McCarthy threatens to throw anybody off their committee, you've got to be focused on whether he even gets that job."

Donald Trump delivered a pseudo-presidential address calling for military action against Mexican drug cartels and hinted he should be returned to the White House before the 2024 election.

The former commander in chief issued a video that bore all the trappings of a presidential address, except he's not actually president and he's speaking not from the White House but in a paneled room at his Florida estate.

Over the past several decades, the House Rules Committee has consolidated more power and under the new GOP House, it will likely supersede the power of any speaker. Kevin McCarthy has agreed to even further changes as part of his negotiation and it will make House rules that empower the fringe even more.

The compromise agreed to by McCarthy’s team gave into nearly every demand, including giving them the power to stop bills across the board.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough compared Kevin McCarthy's hardline opponents to terrorists, and called on Republicans to block their attempt to capture control of the House.

A small group of right-wing GOP lawmakers are demanding concessions from McCarthy that would elevate their own power while greatly weakening whoever emerges from the vote as speaker of the House, and the "Morning Joe" host warned that Republicans should not negotiate with those would-be hijackers.

Many of the Republican commentators on MSNBC have been talking about the 20 Republicans that are against Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) becoming the Speaker of the House by calling them "rebels." But host Nicolle Wallace refused to allow that word to be the one used for many of the far right.

"Let's be a little more blunt than that," Wallace began. "They're not rebels. I'm not going to use that word. They're coup plotters, 19 House Republicans were in the Roosevelt Room, which is four steps away from the Oval Office helping Donald Trump plan overturn the results of the 2016 election, which sent all of them back! Their names were on all the ballots there were trying to destroy and denigrate and smear, and call into question."

One of Kevin McCarthy's leading opponents suggested House Republicans have another candidate in mind for speaker.

Rep. Bob Good (R-VA), who's gone on record in opposing McCarthy's bid for speaker of the House, told "Fox & Friends" that the "Never Kevin" faction has a backup candidate who will be revealed during Tuesday's vote.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough bashed Ginni Thomas for trying to help Donald Trump overturn his election loss based on flimsy claims of fraud.

Transcripts of her testimony were released Friday by the House select committee, and the "Morning Joe" host was appalled by her willingness to toss away the votes of millions of Americans to keep the defeated former president in offie.

Donald Trump is losing his grip on the Republican Party because voters are getting tired of his act, according to one conservative.

The twice-impeached former president has been unable to recapture the magic in his recently launched 2024 campaign, and Daily Beast columnist Matt Lewis told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" what was missing from Trump's latest efforts.

An Ohio Republican that dodged the GOP caucus call on Sunday refused to answer questions about incoming Rep. George Santos (R-NY), who has been caught lying about who he is.

Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) dodged questions from CNN host Pamela Brown about the ongoing problems in his party over the Speaker's position. Instead, Davidson pivoted to what he said was what the American people voted for and that was to start holding President Joe Biden accountable. He also argued that he wants to destroy parts of the federal government that he said have no basis in federal law for having been established.

The Republican Party pushed out a video with new Generation Z Congressman, Maxwell Frost, who told ABC News that one of his struggles is he can't get an apartment in Washington, D.C. because he doesn't have good credit. Frost explained that he will likely have to couch surf for a while.

The GOP knocked Frost for getting the salary of $174,000 annually for his new job, but that hasn't started and won't until Feb. 2023. At the same time, that cash doesn't all roll in as a lump sum on the first day a member is inaugurated. It's part of his or her salary distributed over the course of the year. So, when Frost says he can't get an apartment before he's been paid for a job he hasn't started is a problem that many Americans understand.
