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 Kennedy Center has been in continuous operation for 55 years.
Trump and Ric Grenell destroyed it in one year by making it so toxic that nobody will perform there.
Now they have to shut it down like a Trump casino.
