"Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy tells reporters that breaking for the weekend should be good for Republicans and Jordan as he tries to shore up support. I think given the time, they probably have some more questions, things moving fast, it so gives Speaker Dez at any time to sit down and talk to them, learn their vote. But for now there's a serious question about whether any Republican can get the votes needed to become the next House Speaker. On Capitol Hill, Mike Miller, WTOP News. It's 2 -34. CBS News Congressional Correspondent Scott McFarland says the position, however, is not a guarantee for the hardline chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Got 124 votes.

He wanted to have an alternative on the ballot and 81 people decided to vote for anybody besides Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan's got to run the table among Republicans to win this thing.

WTOP It's 2 -15, I'm Rich Hunter, thanks for being with us. A bottomless brunch has long been a popular way to make the most of the weekend, but it seems more and more patrons are tossing their cookies instead of eating them. restaurants Several in California have now introduced a $50 vomit fee for customers who have one most of too many. Washington Post food reporter Emily Heil joined our Sean and Ann earlier to talk about this diner's dilemma. So apparently this has become enough of a problem that a couple restaurants have decided to institute these fees that if anyone pukes in their restaurant in a public area, I should say, you know, I don't know, we're not going to know what happens in the bathroom with the door closed. That's their, you know, their customer's business. But if a customer pukes in a public area, they get charged this dollar fee and that covers, you know, the cleanup and the inconvenience to the staff. I guess it's been enough of a problem that they've actually found that this is like necessary and apparently a deterrent. Well, Washington is definitely one of the brunch capitals of the world. Have you heard of anybody around here trying the same thing? We do love our brunch here, don't we? Yeah, no, I haven't seen this locally, but it's one of these things California, right, set does a lot of trends for the nation. So could we see this kind of start to spread? We absolutely could. it's You know, interesting. Many states actually ban bottomless brunches or their alcohol laws are such that a bottomless brunch would actually be illegal and Virginia is one of them. You'll still see specials offering bottomless brunches, but I think that these laws are, at least that was according to federal data, that these laws are kind of misunderstood often and not enforced for sure. Emily, so what's going on with the folks that are imbibing too much and having too much and are we talking about like 20 year olds who and the younger 20 somethings who try to just, you know, get a little crazy when they go out and find these bottomless things or is it actually across all pages? You know, I don't know specifically who these patrons are, but you know, you kind of ends get a of sense who, who is your, you know, your typical brunch patron who maybe doesn't kind of get how many, doesn't pace know how to themselves maybe, you know, they're really trying to cram as much value as they can into their bottomless price and they're the ones who are typically going to over imbibe. That's Washington reporter Emily Heil. A quick look at the top stories we're working on at UTOP.

She owns Northside 10, a bar and grill in Alexandria by the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and East Glebe Road. That's a spot that floods repeatedly every summer. It happens so fast. The rain hits and then it just floods. It's like that. Alexandria Mayor Justin Wilson says the city is paying attention. We are investing several hundred million dollars in sewer infrastructure, sewer infrastructure storm over the next several years. He says that should help.
