Former Florida State Senate President Don Gaetz is running for Senate District 1 again. The official launch follows some speculation that Gaetz would run. It also comes as many wonder whether his son, Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, is positioning himself for a 2026 bid for Florida Governor.
Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz said he will try to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Gaetz, a longtime McCarthy nemesis, said in broadcast interviews that McCarthy was in “brazen, material breach” of agreements he made with House Republicans in January when he ran for speaker. As a result, Gaetz said he would be filing a “ motion to vacate the chair,”

@Dave -- I got a kick out of Pelosi's statement that the new guy's prioritizing seating assignments over doing the people's business. A not so subtle whine about losing her plush office that rightfully should have already been occupied by somebody else.
@ A Skeptic = I like how the new guy filling in, is kicking Pelosi out of her Office so HE can move into it.
As we move past McCarthy's ouster I'm liking it more and more. The timing is damned near perfect. It comes in time to take the Nancy Pelosi budget off the table before we're saddled with it right up to next year's national election.
I'm also wondering if McCarthy is thinking, "there's never a fire alarm when you need one"!
It seems that “the plan” is some version of “run in circles… scream and shout”.
@a skeptic Agree with your assessment 100%.
McCarthy never felt he would be held to his word of honor. But he was.
Its not a let the chips fall where the may situation. That is the assumption that there is no plan for the future after McCarthy's fall from grace. They have a plan for moving forward.
@Pat -- I don't blame Gaetz. He and the members of his coalition endorsed McCarthy under very specific, negotiated terms. McCarthy has reneged on his promise to Gaetz.
Gaetz' position may be a short term loser, but it's the only chance this government has to survive long term.
This million gallon spill of raw sewage calls into question basic competency of the city management. This is the most basic function of local gov, they just raised taxes and force mains, major massive pipes near Canopy are exploding. Not acceptable
Matt Gaetz is why the Republican Party is compared to the Washington Generals. The always loose. The Democrats win because they stick together and speak with one voice.
