At Texas's Legendary Rose Room, the Party Hasn't Stopped for Almost 40 Years

Standing in the back parking lot of Station 4, a sprawling LGBTQ dance club in Dallas, I realize this is the first time I've been here while the sun is still out, despite countless visits starting in my late teens.At 8:45 p.m., tucked behind the club, the parking lot is full but weirdly quiet, though I can still hear the bustling throng of people on the Strip, a section of Cedar Springs Road in the city's Oak Lawn neighborhood that's served as the heart of Dallas's LGBTQ nightlife scene for more than four decades.

Editorial: A dysfunctional GOP can't even pick a speaker. Bad for Republicans, worse for America.

It's hard to find a better microcosm for today's Republican Party than the self-inflicted debacle that America witnessed this week.The GOP holds a narrow majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, and yet the party has botched in the worst way the selection of a House speaker.Instead of unifying behind California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Republicans displayed on national television the toxic fractiousness that has become their party's most glaring - and burdensome - trait.
