Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), who chairs the Armed Services Committee, told reporters Thursday after a closed-door House GOP meeting that he wants Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) to tell Republicans what concessions they’ll have to make for Democrats to help them elect a speaker—underscoring the chaotic race to find a new House leader as Republican options grow short to overcome an intraparty impasse.

    I had started to rhapsodize about the need to change the U.S. elections/governance rules to one that accommodates coalitions, and realized that by the time I got to the end of that thought, that I’d have a very long, nigh unreadable comment that the powers that be would never help facilitate, anyway.
    So I left all that off, because the void is already full of similar screams.

    But, yeah…. Meanwhile, the circus continues.
