I had it during the beta. Not bad, though it’s pretty heavy handed with the Jetbrains sales pitches after almost every answer.
Their integration with the Git interface was nice though, having auto-generated commit messages based on its evaluation of the changeset is so convenient.
Just before the vote was about to begin, Rep. Max Miller of Ohio, one of Santos’ Republican colleagues, sent an email to the full Republican conference, writing that he and his mother were victims of credit card fraud tied to Santos’ campaign and that he would be voting to remove Santos.

It’s literally because it was starting to affect them personally.

I’m surprised Dems decided to join in ousting him instead of voting present and letting him stay. But I guess watching GOP flail in another month-long speaker election can only help contrast them.
This stopgap bill would absolutely have enough votes to pass in the House and the only reason McCarthy won’t bring it to a vote is because the hard liners would motion to vacate the speakership. So the US will be plunged into chaos all because one guy doesn’t want to lose his title. Cool democracy.
