Hitler made Göring president of the Reichstag, so at least there is some precedent for this
I’m not the first to observe this, but: Mike Johnson functions as a staffer to Donald Trump, not as a speaker of the House. He has made this august, important role teeny-tiny. He is smaller than Stephen Miller and the like. It would be pitiable if it weren’t so consequential.

In every post since 2016, Trump always refers to the NYT as “the failing NYT” even though it remains highly profitable 10 years later. They made $1.4 billion profit over the last 12 months. But they are still “failing” in MAGA World.

I strongly disagree with my friend Steve here. I think a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility—the most modern and secure one, because our president deserves the best—should be named after Trump.

If elected to Congress, I pledge to do my best to enact this into law.
“There will be no buildings named for Trump, no rest stops, not even a plastic urinal in a national park latrine. Nothing. All that will linger is disgrace and shame.”

It happened so fast it made everyone's head spin in the legal profession—and no doubt caused the panic that led other firms to capitulate.

It never really made sense.
Paul Weiss was one of the first major law firms to bend the knee to Trump.

And, yup, connected to Epstein.

donald trump wants congressional republicans to “nationalize” elections.

Of course like most things trump wants and does goes against constitutional grain, but we’re all getting used to that.

But nationalized, elections will be easier for the GOP to rig, and to allow trump to survive #USDemocracy

it's grim, but the reality is that Trump wants more innocent people to die here in the Twin Cities and the GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress are either ambivalent about more lives being taken or outright support it

Q: You're a constitutional lawyer. Can you detail the 4th Amendment protections someone has if ICE approaches their home w/an administrative warrant?

MIKE JOHNSON: When ICE goes to execute a warrant, it's issued by an immigration judge, & that is a sufficient legal authority to go apprehend someone

Q: We've seen ICE draw guns on Americans who are not protesters. We're seen people pulled out of their houses. Do you think ICE & CBP needs to change their tactics?

JOHNSON: I have great trust in the leadership of DHS. You need a steady hand at the wheel. I think Tom Homan is a great guy to do that
