By Melanie Zanona, Annie Grayer, Lauren Fox and Manu Raju | CNNWith the clock ticking down toward a government shutdown, Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz approached a Democratic lawmaker on the House floor this week with a surprising pitch.Gaetz, who has been threatening Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s speakership almost daily, explained that his rebellion is motivated by a desire to find new leadership that keeps their word, tells the truth, and adheres to regular order – a message that this Democrat described to CNN as “utterly reasonable.”Gaetz then floated veteran Republican Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma and House GOP Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota as two alternative examples he had in mind, and then attempted to gauge whether this member would be open to supporting an effort to oust McCarthy. The Democrat told CNN there’s been internal discussions about a wide range of potential asks – from power-sharing agreements to policy ideas.“In the last 48 hours, he’s not just talking to Democrats. I’m talk...

DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions are in first place in the NFC North and playing as well as any team in the conference.That’s not a position they’ve been in for a long time.After beating the Packers 34-20 on Thursday — their third prime-time win in five games dating to last season’s finale — coach Dan Campbell was asked how his team would respond to being the hunted instead of doing the hunting.“We’re not the hunted, because we’re going to stay on the hunt,” he said. “We’ve said this since training camp — if you are hunting us, you don’t have to look for us.“We’re going to be on your front porch when you open the doors.”It’s been six years — since Week 2 of the 2017 season — since the Lions were alone in first place.
