It was a day of "chaos" as #Republicans failed to elect a Speaker in U.S. House of Representatives. Even the only two Native Republicans are on opposite sides of #KevinMcCarthy debate. Drama comes amid historic advance funding for Indian Health Service.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-California), fails spectacularly in bid for Speaker of US House of Representatives in the 118th Congress. 19 #Republicans defected. Another round of balloting is expected for McCarthy, whose wife is famously part of "Northern Cherokee Nation." #Pretendians
