I asked Mike Johnson last year when he campaigned for Joe Kent about warnings by former Trump admin figures that Trump would ignore constitutional limits & slide U.S. toward autocracy. He said: “I do not have any concern about that at all.”

A noun, a verb, and "illegals" - the GOP's shutdown strategy. www.semafor.com/article/10/0...

Republicans’ shutdown strategy: All ‘illegals,’ all the time

It’s a plain attempt to fight on friendly turf for the president’s party — where the details are arcane enough to leave Democrats with little response but protest.

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"
