    According to NBC News, "the procedural vote was rejected, 206 to 220, stunning longtime lawmakers and reporters who have not seen a rule vote — a procedural measure typically widely supported by the majority party — go down in more than two decades."

    ...

    Tuesday, 11 Republican McCarthy haters formed a holy alliance, I guess, with Democrats and blocked a pair of Republican bills to "protect" gas stoves from socialist tyranny. The bills would prevent any gas stove bans in the future, as well as stopping regulators from imposing energy conservation and health standards for new models. It's a little childish and stupid, but, then, so is the Republican Party.

    ....



    “Today we took down the rule because we’re frustrated at the way this place is operating. We took a stand in January to end the era of the imperial speakership,” Gaetz said, surrounded by people willing to let him speak for them. "We’re concerned that the fundamental commitments that allowed Kevin McCarthy to assume the speakership have been violated as a consequence of the debt limit deal. The answer for us is to reassert House conservatives as the appropriate coalition partner for our leadership, instead of them making common cause with Democrats.”

    But ... these geniuses just made common cause with Democrats when they blocked the dumbass gas stove bill. Yes, the debt-ceiling bill passed with more Democratic votes than Republican, but it was hardly a liberal bill. The only "common cause" was avoiding a global economic catastrophe, but the MAGA goons are pissed that they held the nation for ransom and only got work requirements and some spending caps. Boo-hoo.

    It is culture war BS. My guess is that outrage was bought and paid for by fossil fuel lobbyists.
