I’m not sure if we should start a new thread or continue here. The shutdown has been temporarily averted, but a direct consequence will be an attempt to dismiss Kevin as Speaker.

I did that, with full credit to you:

The Impending Attempt to Oust Speaker McCarthy {10/1/2023}; Patrick McHenry is now Speaker Pro Tempore {2023-10-03}

As sorta-started over here, but I think it deserves it’s own thread. https://boards.straightdope.com/t/government-shutdown-watch-fall-2023-edition/989657/194?u=lslguy
