GAI at Georgetown

How does Congress procedurally get back into regular session earlier than anticipated if they want to consider something like disaster aid but they've aren't scheduled to be here until after the election? It depends on how they got out of session. Quick thread. 1/

Among the forthcoming Supreme Court decisions is one that could have massive repercussions for legislators and executive branch officials. Thrilled to have GU Prof. Mark Richardson discuss the outlook for “Chevron deference” in this month’s newsletter gai.georgetown.edu/delegation-and…

Probably the last day that this Friday podcast of me and ⁦@joshHuder⁩ letting it rip about the Speakership will be worth listening to, come and get it! overcast.fm/+LN4tek2e0

This from @MattGlassman312 and @joshHuder is the smartest thing you'll find on what's happening in the speaker fight, what's not happening, what could happen, and what it all means. Really good stuff. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod…

This could very well be out of date, I mean we did record it 25 minutes ago. overcast.fm/+LN4tek2e0

Harsh but true. The GOP's Speaker drama has a striking lack of negotiation and compromise. Speakers are compromise candidates, never unanimously chosen. Rather, speakers broker, compromise, and negotiate their way to the gavel. As a whole, the House GOP is not doing this.

I wrote a quick piece about the proposed conference rules changes for electing a Speaker nominee that the GOP will be considering this morning. A quick rundown in this tweetstorm. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/mattglassm…

Wrote about how the crisis in Israel is putting pressure on the need to elect a speaker, for @ConversationUS . Who fills the position & how quickly has consequences. theconversation.com/why-the-crisis…

I wrote up an explainer for the motion to vacate, and added some tentative political thoughts. open.substack.com/pub/mattglassm…

A look at what Americans can expect in the looming shutdown, what’s funded and isn’t, and why. Plenty of unknowns, too! While there are things in common, different shutdowns are, well, different! theconversation.com/what-will-this…

Get smart quick on what's about to be the hottest Congressional procedure topic in town...

I really don't feel like I'm any good at TV hits but I thought this shutdown explainer I did on FOXLiveNOW came off pretty well. livenowfox.com/video/1284992

Moderates make their threats public. The article references voting down the PQ to bring up a bipartisan funding bill. The faster route would be voting down the PQ to make in order a motion to concur with the Senate passed CR. axios.com/2023/09/26/rep…

Senior Fellow @MattGlassman312 joined Fox LiveNOW to explain what a looming shutdown means for federal workers, programs, and services corpfox-my.sharepoint.com/personal/joshu…
