This is the only source I have so far. But lets keep this in our back pocket. It is true that Gaetz is extremely unpopular with the House Republicans.

And probably related, Gaetz is going to file a motion to vacate the Speaker position next week.

He'll get unanimous support from the Dems and probably at least MTG on the Republican side

What a mess. Gaetz threatens to oust McCarthy. House GOP might expel Gaetz instead. House GOP took a big loss this week with the failed impeachment hearing and bill. They tried to frame Rep. Bowman as a bad guy/insurrectionist. Shameful.

---
Rep. McCarthy does not have the votes (14 times).

Personally, I don't think anyone in Congress should be able to just file any motion they want.

If the actual justice department files charges against Gaetz for that sex crime stuff then full steam ahead. The GOP having an 'ethics committee' say he may have used illicit drugs in order to kick him out is just obviously politically motivated. The GOP is already devoid of ethics. I'm guessing if Gaetz is out then McCarthy maintains whatever slimmest majority support he needs for speakership?

And yeah, pretty sure if Gaetz is 'expeled' then a more sycophantic Republican is appointed to take his place

Ron DeSantis would be appointing them so that's possible even with how bad Gaetz already is.

This was literally part of the deal McCarthy agreed to in order to get them to cave and let him be speaker.

House members are not appointed when there is a vacancy. It stays vacant until a special election can be held.

Normally, that is the case. But McCarthy made this deal so he could become Speaker.

How many more of those until Democrats can get a majority and actually do some work?

Every republican gone makes it easier to vote the next republican off as that majority gets bigger.

That thought is almost enough to make me need a cigarette.

Literally every successive Republican Speaker of the House has been worse than the last.
Ironically, they always come from the Tea Party / /Freedom Caucus / MAGA crowd, then work w/ Democrats just one little time to keep the country from falling apart, and instantly get labeled a RINO. Every damn time.
But in turn, each new one is more extreme than the last.

Dems should take this golden opportunity to get Gaetz kicked out of Congress and side w/ McCarthy. If his "ethical problems" don't kick him out, nothing ever will.
Meanwhile, McCarthy will be in danger of losing Speaker within the next month anyway.

I just don't buy the "devil you know" argument, it sounds too much like maintaining the typical Dem status quo of never actually pursuing consequences for the GOP. If the GOP can't retain a competent leader, that's a good thing.

It's not just that McCarthy is a less extreme Speaker than whoever would replace him.
It's also again....how many chances will there be to get Gaetz out of Congress? He's in a deep red district. This is basically it.
McCarthy will be head-hunted his entire reign as Speaker. Dems could actually forge some sort of power-share agreement w/ him to at least get nominations and basic spending and Ukraine aid, etc... through so we have a functioning government.

But nah, toss that away to gamble on a few Republicans (which as AOC said, there are no moderates anymore) staying home so Jeffries can become Speaker vs... doing what Republicans always do and circle their wagons around whatever crazy leader emerges rather than cede any power at all to Democrats!

Case in point...

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Republicans will never cooperate to let a Dem become Speaker, which is the only way that happens. That is utterly pointless and just lets the next even crazier Republican slide into Speaker.

Sweet Jesus.

He's willing to investigate (tbf, 'hold ridiculous hearings') at the drop of a hat, so he's probably earned enough brownie points with the House MAGA asshats to make a run for it. Could be a darkhorse candidate for Speaker.

Apparently the far left position is:
