"I had Republican colleagues in the House that told me about how they fear for their lives or the safety of their families with the threats that they're getting."

"From their own political base, I want to emphasize that."

If you put your ear against the Capitol, you can hear the sound of a man who will do nothing to challenge—and anything to justify—presidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

The Speaker of the House Is Abetting Authoritarianism

Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

BREAKING: Live munitions from a Trump-Vance “military demo” flew over I-5 and struck a CHP vehicle. The White House wanted the highway open—but Gov. Newsom shut it down for safety. That decision likely prevented injuries or worse.

Mike Johnson sputtering that it's no big deal that he hasn't sworn in Grivalja yet, it's such a small stupid thing, why are you people still asking about it, I can do it anytime, but no, I'm not going to do it now, or later, or anytime soon, there's no big deal here, shut up, stop asking about it

Watch how the media reports yesterday’s march.

Outlets that don’t report it, or dramatically downplay it are showing you precisely who they are.

When it matters.

Q: "Trump authorized military strikes...in the Caribbean. 20 people have been killed in six different strikes. Do you believe these strikes are legal?"

Sen. Rand Paul:" "No...These people have been blown up without us knowing their name or any evidence of a crime."

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."
