| McCarthy Proves What He's Made Of with Gritty Budget Win |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) hasn't had an easy path. After painstakingly working through conservatives' gripes with House leadership this January, he finally squeaked out the votes he needed to assume the third most powerful job in Washington. But even after that chaos died down, questions loomed. Was he cut out to be speaker? Would he bring the fractious, competing corners of the GOP together? In a staring contest with Democrats, could he win? The answer, Americans learned from a hard-won victory on the budget bill, is a resounding yes. |

| Montana Lawmakers Censure Member Who Broke Decorum, Peddled Suicide Myth |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| The Montana House of Representatives voted Wednesday to censure Representative Zooey Zephyr, who alleged that lawmakers voting to protect minors from gender transition procedures (in SB 99) had "blood on your hands." At first, House Speaker Matt Regier (R) simply refused to recognize Zephyr until he apologized for breaking the House rules of decorum, but on Monday Zephyr encouraged disruptive protestors in the balcony, refused the sergeant-at-arms' request to settle things down, and visited the arrested disruptors at the county jail. For the remainder of the 2023 session, Zephyr will be allowed to vote remotely, but he will be barred from the House floor. |
