OK, McCarthy has finally been elected as speaker of Congress and a lot of media reported about it and lots of things happening in the (lengthy) process, as did Politico. But the reason I linked this specific article is this one paragraph:

Throughout the whole evening, Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) was reading the “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” while waiting on votes.

And again Katie Porter wins the day...

Two lawmakers nearly come to blows — and other crazy moments from McCarthy’s final speaker votes

Friday night on the House floor was a spectacle to behold.

Megabanks @jpmorgan and @GoldmanSachs are exploiting a loophole to evade our sanctions and profit off the war in Ukraine—in turn helping Russia fund its human rights abuses.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are being pressed to hand over extensive information on clients trading Russian debt, as US Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative Katie Porter expand efforts to pry into whether Wall Street is profiting on the invasion of Ukraine.

The Democrats sent JPMorgan Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon and Goldman CEO David Solomon letters Tuesday demanding lists of clients betting on Russian government and corporate debt since the war broke out in February, as well as the types and sizes of wagers and any gains. The lawmakers also want information on the banks themselves, including tallies of any trades they’ve handled and revenue generated.

Katie Porter asks 2 questions

Taxpayers subsidize oil and gas drilling to the tune of $660 billion per year. Meanwhile, weather-related disasters intensified by climate change cost us billions each year to clean up.

It doesn't seem like propping up polluters is the wisest use of taxpayer dollars to me
