Cooking Culinary Adventure: inspired by Halifax's Seaport Market | SaltWire #cooking #cookingshortsWASHINGTON - Republicans, whose party infighting has paralyzed the U.S. House of Representatives for three weeks, will begin again on Monday to try to pick a new speaker to lead the chamber and address funding needs for Israel, Ukraine and the federal government.

"This is probably one of the most embarrassing things I've seen," House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, a Republican, told ABC's"This Week" on Sunday."We're essentially shut down as a government." "This is not a moment in time to play around with learning on the job," McCarthy told NBC's"Meet the Press", although he added:"It's going to be an uphill battle."

Matt Gaetz, the Republican who initiated McCarthy's ouster, complained to reporters that Jordan was"knifed by secret ballot" after the conference voted late last week to end his bid for speaker. Seven of the nine new candidates for speaker - Jack Bergman, Byron Donalds, Kevin Hern, Mike Johnson, Dan Meuser, Gary Palmer and Pete Sessions - voted to overturn Trump's 2020 loss to President Joe Biden on the day that Trump supporters assaulted Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.
