The ultra-right-wingers in the U.S. House tried to shut down the federal government and failed … but they have managed to shut down the House of Representatives. As we record this podcast, nobody can muster up the votes to take what’s the worst job in government: Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Also this week:

• A new court filing says Michigan’s fake electors were operating under orders from Donald Trump … and they knew it.
  
• RFK Jr., once the darling of Trump-Loving MAGAs when he was running as a Democrat, is now the enemy because he’s running as an independent.
  
• The field of candidates lining up to run for congress against John James is growing
  
• The first poll in the GOP primary race for U.S. Senate shows James Craig with a sizable lead over Mike Rogers 
  
• The shooting death of a Lansing political activist while canvassing raises the question: is the fear factor a new controlling political dynamic?
