Emile, Helen, Micah, and Sohrab discuss the unprecedented move to strip Kevin McCarthy of the Speaker's gavel, and what comes next on a chaotic Capitol Hill for a divided Republican Party. Plus, Gavin Newsom nominates Maryland resident Laphonza Butler to fill the California senate seat of the late Dianne Feinstein, and RFK Jr. looks set to mount an independent presidential bid.
