House GOP members are preparing a motion to expel Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., amid his renewed threat to pursue a motion to vacate House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.The House Republican members will seek to expel Gaetz if the ethics committee report comes back with findings of guilt, Fox News has learned. One member told Fox News the report is mostly written but does not know what it contains. Yet following threats to vacate McCarthy, the member said of Gaetz, "No one can stand him at this point. A smart guy without morals."It takes a two-thirds vote to expel. And Republicans are treading on thin ice with their majority. The House is down to 433 members. It’s unclear where things stand with federally indicted Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y. If you were to have members expelled, retire or die, the majority could be right on the edge for the GOP.During an appearance on CNN Sunday morning, Gaetz said he planned "to file a motion to vacate against Speaker McCarthy this week.""I think we need to rip off the Band-Aid. I think we need to move on with new leadership that can be trustworthy. Look, the one thing everybody has in common is that nobody trusts Kevin McCarthy. He lied to Biden. He lied to House conservatives," Gaetz told CNN "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper. "Kevin McCarthy's goal was to make multiple contradictory promises to delay everything back up against shutdown politics and at the end of the day, blow past the spending guardrails he had agreed."GAETZ BLOWS UP AT MCCARTHY IN CLOSED-DOOR HOUSE GOP MEETING: 'FIREWORKS'READ ON THE FOX NEWS APPRep. Matt Gaetz says he'll pursue a motion to vacate House Speaker McCarthy.In response to that motion to vacate, McCarthy said, "I’ll survive.""This is personal with Matt," McCarthy said, according to ABC producer and reporter Ben Siegel. "Let’s get over it, let’s start governing."But on CNN, Gaetz insisted he was not pursuing McCarthy's ouster over personal matters."This isn't personal, Jake. This is about spending," Gaetz said Sunday. "This is about the deal Kevin McCarthy made. If Kevin McCarthy didn't want to keep the deal to return to pre-COVID spending, if he didn't want to keep the deal to have single subject spending bills, not vote for government spending all up or down at once, then he shouldn't have made that deal. So this is about keeping Kevin McCarthy to his word. It's not about any personal animus."REP. BYRON DONALDS SAYS MCCARTHY IS 'IN TROUBLE' AFTER BUDGET DEAL: 'WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING'The House Ethics Committee has been investigating Gaetz since 2021 on allegations, including campaign finance violations as well as claims of taking bribes and using drugs – accusations the congressman has vehemently denied. Gaetz also denies allegations leaked from a Justice Department sex trafficking probe said to have involved an underage girl.In a statement to Fox News Digital earlier this year, Gaetz's office confirmed that "the Department of Justice has confirmed to Congressman Gaetz’s attorneys that their investigation has concluded and that he will not be charged with any crimes.""If Kevin McCarthy is still the speaker of the House, he will be serving at the pleasure of the Democrats. He will be working for the Democrats," Gaetz said Sunday. "The only way Kevin McCarthy is speaker of the House at the end of this coming week is if Democrats bail them out now, they probably will.""I will make no deal with Democrats and concede no terms to them. I actually think Democrats should vote against Speaker McCarthy for free. I don't think I should have to deal with that."Such a gambit to try to bounce a speaker in the middle of a Congress is rare. Former Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., threatened to use the tactic on House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, in the summer of 2015. Boehner saw the writing on the wall and resigned that October. The House last saw a formal effort to remove a speaker in 1910.As the House currently has 433 members, if all members vote for someone by name in a speaker’s race, the successful candidate must receive 217 votes.

It’s unclear how many Republicans may vote against that secondary motion to table or refer. McCarthy’s move on government funding has inflamed many on the hard right. And it’s unclear if Democrats could potentially assist McCarthy. Some McCarthy opponents on the Democratic side of the aisle may vote with Republicans wanting to bounce the speaker. Others may not participate in the vote at all. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., has said Republicans must solve this civil war on their own.Also on CNN's "State of the Union," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said Sunday she would vote to recall McCarthy.Original article source: House GOP members seek to expel Gaetz amid renewed threat to vacate House Speaker McCarthy

AP Prep Post 1: Siddhartha

The following questions range from more comprehensive to more analytic. Obviously the actual AP Test question is the hardest, but the other questions act as building blocks to getting there. 

1. (An actual 2013 AP LIT Question from the test) A bildungsroman, or coming-of-age novel, recounts the psychological or moral development of its protagonist from youth to maturity, when this character recognizes his or her place in the world. Select a single pivotal moment in the psychological or moral development of the protagonist of a bildungsroman. Then write a well-organized essay that analyzes how that single moment shapes the meaning of the work as a whole.

(I did read Siddhartha, but am not that familiar with the text anymore; I only remember the general plot.) Key points I would cover in this would be that Siddhartha was not the "oh so holy man" right from the beginning. He made plenty of mistakes along the way, and there is true, tangible growth in his character. He went from two extremes: self-denial and self-indulgence, before finding enlightenment. One part of the novel I remember most was when he was a rich man, and for years he had believed it was a good thing, until he realized how disgusting he had been. So he gives it up. Instead of sticking to the life he is in, he is always searching for that something. He spends his whole life working, trying, and never giving up as he faces struggles. (Now, I would need many more details to continue answering this question. But unfortunately I do not have the luxury of reading a detailed summary of the book at this time)

2. (Sparknotes) Discuss the ways Siddhartha attempts to attain spiritual enlightenment. Which approaches are successful? Which ones are not successful, and which ones have limited effectiveness? How does Siddhartha progress from one approach to the other? 

I would say each attempt is a "success" in the sense that it teaches him something new, and brings him closer to the ultimate goal. Each one shows him a different reality, and each one shows him that it's not what he is looking for. 

3. (Shmoop) What does enlightenment look like in Siddhartha? Is it a feeling? An attitude?

From my memory, it was a feeling that brought him a sense of contentedness and sudden realization. It was calming because he finally understood and while it was scary, he had finally felt it happen. (Hmm, I could be wrong?) 

4. (Another teaching site) Discuss this quote: “It was the goal of all of them, yearning, desiring, suffering; and the river’s voice was full of longing, full of smarting woe, full of insatiable desire. The river flowed on towards its goal.” (134-35) What is the river’s goal? Again, I could be wrong since I am a bit fuzzy on the details, but I'd say based on the novel it was enlightenment. Like all people, with a range of emotions and feelings but still want enlightenment. 

5. (Shmoop) What purpose does self-denial serve in Siddhartha? What about self-indulgence?

It shows two extremes and how neither will get to to enlightenment, just like how in society there are all kinds of crazy claims that you have to do this to get into heaven and etc. There is a balance, and its more about understanding than doing outrageous things to meet a certain end.
