WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Matt Gaetz said Sunday he will try to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a fellow Republican, from his leadership position this week after McCarthy relied on Democratic support to pass legislation that avoided a government shutdown.Gaetz, a longtime McCarthy nemesis, said McCarthy was in “brazen, material breach” of agreements he made with House Republicans in January when he ran for speaker. As a result, Gaetz said he would be filing a “ motion to vacate the chair,” as House rules permit.No speaker has ever been removed from office through such a move. Procedural votes could be offered to halt the motion or it could trigger a House floor vote on whether McCarthy, R-Calif., should remain speaker.“I think we need to rip off the Band-Aid,” Gaetz, R-Fla., told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I think we need to move on with new leadership that can be trustworthy.”McCarthy has the support of a large majority of House Republicans, but because the GOP hold...Live updates | Homa keeps Americans’ dreams alive at Ryder Cup by beating Fitzpatrick

Time to talk about who should be No. 1.Georgia has held the top spot in 15 straight AP Top 25s, dating to the middle of last season before the Bulldogs won a second straight national title.Georgia (5-0) extended its school-record winning streak to 22 games at Auburn on Saturday, but yet again the Bulldogs didn’t look much like the clear best team in the country.For the second time in two Southeastern Conference games, Georgia trailed at halftime — this time against an Auburn team that simply does not have a functional passing game. Credit coach Hugh Freeze for working the quarterback run to keep the Bulldogs off balance, but again it took coach Kirby Smart’s team a while to find its offense.“I just think there’s a lot more parity in college football. I don’t think there’s a great separation between anybody,” Smart said. “The pro scouts that come to our place — I always trust their opinion — and they’re like, ’Well, we’ve been to this place, that place, that p...El Gobierno de EE.UU. sigue abierto, por ahora: ¿qué sigue?

En el Senado, miembros de ambos partidos también se unieron para trasladar el proyecto de ley a la mesa del presidente Joe Biden, que firmó la medida a última hora de este sábado.El Gobierno seguirá funcionando hasta el 17 de noviembre.
