An article on Emptywheel -- the blog of Marcy Wheeler, an indie journalist writing about national security and civil liberties -- called "On Congress" shares what goes on in the background in the House of Representatives after the midterms and why Jeffries will likely be the Speaker. Excellent explainer. (Not offering opinions, just info.)

@dcdeejay I haven't thought of this in a while. Perfect!
@PamelaBarroway I'm not a person of faith, but this situation reminds me of the first four lines of The Serenity Prayer posted in my house growing up, that always stuck with me:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
