This was a remarkably crazy response by Mike Johnson's standards. He's going full "stop the steal" and clearly would line up behind any effort Trump makes to rig the midterms and 2028 elections
Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Rs to "nationalize" elections: "We had 3 Republicans who were ahead on election day in last cycle & every time a new tranche of ballots came in they just magically whittled away until their leads were lost. It looks on its face to be fraudulent. Can I prove it? No"

The Secretary of Homeland Security is asserting that the Deputy White House Chief of Staff ultimately bears responsibility for the murder of two American citizens, which is something that would normally generate a dozen congressional inquiries.

The Trump Administration’s ongoing occupations of peaceful American cities are unconstitutional and illegal.

Boston is leading a coalition of cities supporting the lawsuit by the State of Minnesota, Minneapolis, and St. Paul to end their occupation by more than two thousand federal agents.

It’s almost like blanket, uninformed cuts, have negative consequences.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is trying to reverse the firing of some employees who were involved in responding to the nation’s growing bird flu outbreak, officials said this week.

It’s the latest instance of the Trump administration having to reverse course after making sweeping cuts.
