Arkansas Secretary of State John Thurston has requested the legislature to double the amount of State Capitol Police officers providing security near the Capitol.
Mike Johnson (R-La.) starts this week looking less like speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and more like a European prime minister. Partisan politics, at least as they’ve been understood in the United States, are flipped on their head. Johnson’s plan to sacrifice American border security to pass $95 billion in foreign aid is on its way to the Senate, powered by a coalition of House Republican and Democrat appropriators, and over the objections of both his voters and the majority of...

That in turn means Johnson, who is already heavily dependent on Democrats to pass any legislation, will grow even more reliant on them. The math—if you’re Johnson—is grim. With Gallagher gone, Republicans hold just 217...
Democrats are considering whether to help Speaker Mike Johnson as several House Republicans call for his removal as speaker. Ashley Etienne, former communicators director for Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi, and Brendan Buck, former aide to Speakers Ryan and Boehner, weigh in on how the House's leadership battle could end.

Democrats, in turn, are not going to make it easy for him.
