Reason

Reason is the monthly print magazine of "free minds and free markets." It covers politics, culture, and ideas through aprovocative mix of news, analysis, commentary, and reviews. Reason provides a refreshing alternative to right-wing and left-wing opinion magazines by making a principled case for liberty and individual choice in all areas of human activity.

Mike Rogers (R–Ala.) did when Rep. Matt Gaetz (R–Fla.) refused to support Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R–Calif.) for speaker. C-SPAN has asked McCarthy to continue allowing candid cameras going forward.
