House At Standstill As Trump Arraignment Looms.
“The House returns on Monday amid an unprecedented stalemate set off by a conservative revolt last week, though most of the focus will likely be fixed on the historic federal indictment of former President Trump.
The House descended into a standstill last week after a coalition of 11 conservatives rebelled against Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), refusing to advance legislation to the floor and bringing the chamber to a pause. The group is protesting the debt limit deal that McCarthy struck with President Biden, which was signed into law earlier this month.”
The Nation will be heading into the Summer months with much intrigue taking place in the political World. An unprecedented Presidential indictment and arraignment will consume most of the media attention this week but a brewing Right wing revolt in the House has the potential to bring Washington to a grinding halt. Speaker McCarthy was caught off guard by the dissenters in his own party but the staying power of this small gang of 11 or so has yet to be tested. Many serious challenges lie ahead for the Nation as a whole with foreign adversaries taking aim at our discord and seemingly intractable divisions.
