Jeffries on GOP fighting: It's "Republicans gone wild"

• Jeffries said the behavior was concerning "because our focus should be on solving problems for hardworking American taxpayers."

Catch up quick: Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) on Tuesday accused former Speaker Kevin McCarthy of elbowing him in the back. Burchett was one of the eight GOP lawmakers who voted to oust McCarthy from the House speakership.

• At a congressional hearing later in the day, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) and Teamsters president Sean O'Brien came close to a physical fight, with each challenging each other to "stand your butt up."
• "I'm still a guy," Mullin, a former mixed martial artist, told a reporter later when asked if senators should be held to a higher standard. Mullin also told Fox News that he was representing "Oklahoma values."
• Tuesday also saw members of Congress sling verbal insults, including House Oversight chair James Comer (R-Ky.) telling Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) that he looked like a "smurf," seemingly on account of his blue suit.
