Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
The Golden Bachelor was a huge hit for ABC and Hulu. It was the highest rating debut on ABC for an unscripted series among adults 18-49 since 2022. Just imagine what the numbers for adults 50-79 looked like. It also was the highest-rated premiere of any Bachelor series on Hulu.
Travis Kelce thinks the NFL is overdoing it with the whole Taylor Swift nonsense and the NFL is like, “Shut up and let us count our money.”
Meanwhile, Mr. Injured on the First Play Aaron Rodgers is out here attacking Kelce for being a spokesperson for the COVID vaccine. How about you stay quiet from the sidelines, champ.
Happy 20th year at Saturday Night Live, Kenan Thompson! True fact: Somewhere around 25% of Americans have never known Saturday Night Live without Kenan Thompson.
Here’s an article trying to convince you that the new CW series Sullivan’s Crossing is somehow different from Virgin River. OK. (Sullivan’s Crossing premieres tonight, btw.)
Is Love is Blind keeping an engagement from us?
Also, Love is Blind‘s final episodes for season five will drop on Friday, but there’s a spoiler floating out there.

I don’t want to get too deep into the political weeds here, but basically what happened in the House yesterday was pretty hilarious. After weeks of dicking around and not passing a budget and with the threat of another government shutdown looming, on Friday, Kevin McCarthy worked with the Democrats and managed to pull a last-second temporary deal to keep the government open for 45 more days. Matt Gaetz, who has appointed himself the de facto leader of the ULTRA SUPER CRAZEE wing of the MAGAites, announced that he would punish Kevin McCarthy and the moderates (“moderates”) for having the audacity to not shove millions of federal employees, including border patrol and the military, off the payrolls by forcing a vote on whether or not to keep McCarthy as Speaker of the House. And it should be noted that he was able to force this vote thanks to concessions McCarthy made to Gaetz when he was elected as Speaker, back in January.
Now, there was a moment there when the Democrats were considering helping McCarthy stay Speaker because GOD ONLY KNOWS which crazy would replace him. (Seriously: some nutters are threatening to make Former President Indicted the Speaker.)
I don’t think any of us are close to prepared for just how stupid the next year will be https://t.co/8tBsO7Vinu

But Kevin McCarthy, this stupid little bitch, he went on the Sunday shows and blamed the DEMOCRATS for the near-government shutdown. At this, the House Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, he put out the word that his party wasn’t going to be saving McCarthy’s ass, because fuck you, Kevin.
So, Matt Gaetz filed his motion yesterday to vacate the Speaker seat, and the vote was held, and whaddya know, but all the Democrats voted for it along with eight Republicans. Enough to remove Kevin McCarthy from the Speakership. And now — get this — the Republicans are SO MAD … at the Democrats for not voting to save a Republican Speaker of the House. LOLOLOLOLOLOL, OK.
republican 1: I’m going to take down the speaker!
speaker: no you’re not, bitch
republicans 2-8: yes we are
dems: do you want to talk about how we could save you
speaker: no you fucking commie slut idiot
*LATER THAT DAY*
conservatives: how dare the democrats do this

It’s the Democrats fault that Republicans will be forced to nominate an insane person for Speaker and President now because the party is made up of toddlers who can’t be responsible for themselves. This is the stated position of the old-guard GOP tonight. Roll with that, I guess!

1. Does anyone believe for one minute that McCarthy would help elect a Dem speaker “for the institution”?
2. McCarthy’s hubris is a theme. He loudly stated he wouldn’t negotiate w/Dems, called virtually none, trashed those who helped w/CR, and then expected Dem votes for free? https://t.co/49V0pNTf3N

No. This is precisely the reflexive centrist, both-sides-are-responsible take we have to reject
Trump-era GOP decline into nihilism & unseriousness is why this happened. This has been building for a decade. (Also McCarthy offered no concessions to the Ds to save his speakership) https://t.co/jttkqG17HJ

In fact, this morning I happened to catch Fox News whose chyron read: “8 Republicans Join Democrats to Remove McCarthy.” Except … that’s not really what happened? A more accurate chyron would have read: “Far Right Republicans Remove Republican Speaker.” But lol, that will never happen.
As for what happened next: Close McCarthy ally North Carolina Representative Patrick McHenry was named Speaker pro tempore of the House until a new Speaker can be elected, and he is SO MAD, Y’ALL.
I think he peed a little. https://t.co/0NbnlKDx79

This little bitch also kicked Nancy Pelosi out of one of her office spaces while she was out in California for Dianne Feinstein’s funeral. Which is just tacky.
NBC confirms: Nancy Pelosi was ordered to move out of her office in the Capitol by Patrick McHenry after he became acting speaker.
Pelosi's response: "This eviction is a sharp departure from tradition … Office space doesn't matter to me, but it seems to be important to them."

Finally, the House went on recess (because of course they did) until next Tuesday, at which point the voting for a new Speaker will begin all over again. Good luck, suckers! Hope those leopards aren’t hungry!
Get better soon, Krayzie Bone.
Get better soon, Brandi Glanville!
