#MikeJohnson vowed to use House oversight powers while cutting funds in the #government appropriations process & taking other unspecified #legislative measures.
“We’re going to do everything we can, everything within our scope of our responsibility in the Congress, to address it appropriately,” Johnson said at his weekly news conference afterward.
One of #Trump’s staunchest allies is readying a more aggressive approach. Rep #MarjorieTaylorGreene (R-Ga.) has threatened to file a resolution before the week’s end to #impeach President #Biden. Greene left a Tues meeting w/ #MikeJohnson demanding “in the loudest most possible way” that he allow the #House a vote on removing Biden or she will force such a vote.
…Several #HouseRepublicans …said their backing of #Trump is based on how their constituents reacted. Some, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that they issued stmnts in #fear of how his base would react if they stayed quiet. Trump has animated his followers by painting himself as a martyr & repeatedly suggesting that if the #Biden admin & judicial sys were not coming after him, they would go after them. #Republicans say that message has been effective.
It was unclear how the #House could seek to cut spending for states through the appropriations process, which funds the federal govt. But it has become a talking point for #FarRightlawmakers that was on display during a House #Judiciary Cmte hearing Tues.
#Trump isn't handling being a 34x #felon very well. In just a few hours, he dropped a DOZEN delusional video screeds on his personal social media platform. Lots of "I DID NOTHING WRONG!" and "I'M A POLITICAL PRISONER!!!" He referred to Allen Weisselberg as an "honest and respected bookkeeper", and went on a tangent about his "perfect NDAs". This is a sick man whose mind is collapsing before our very eyes.
What The? RNC Website Mistakenly Publishes Photo of Vietnamese City Meant to Be Milwaukee
In a statement, DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd mocked, “Maybe if Donald Trump and the RNC actually bothered to have a real campaign operation in Wisconsin, they could tell the difference between Milwaukee and Ho Chi Minh City.”
