The next task for a divided Congress is to find a way to put the “fun” back in “government funding.”

The upper chamber’s GOP members greeted the new speaker in the House with bemusement—and the need to google him.

Jim Jordan nearly has the votes he needs to become the next speaker of the House. Yikes!

After several weeks of extended chaos, it’s possible the lower chamber will be permanently changed by the GOP’s intraparty fracas.
