As the Democrat Party and its quasi-official state media continue to melt into puddles of histrionic goo because of the stark reality that Donald J. Trump might very well again be elected president of the United States in November, articles about their hysterics get more and more fun to write.
The Republican Speaker of the House and Donald Trump are teaming up in Florida. The two leaders will make a joint announcement about election security.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) unveiled a gambit to burst a legislative logjam and unleash a four-vote flood including a standalone vote on tens of billions in American taxpayer aid to Ukraine.
Donald Trump has made House Speaker Mike Johnson’s job impossible, but Johnson keeps going back for more. The embattled speaker is at Mar-a-Lago Friday to announce a big “election integrity” initiative. The announcement is the pretense, anyway; Johnson’s real goal is likely to try to get Trump to call off Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and her efforts to oust him from the speaker’s seat. Making it all the more demeaning for Johnson, this ring-kissing exercise is happening the day after Trump...

Former President Donald Trump sent a very clear message on Friday when he held an "election integrity" press conference with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) at Mar-a-Lago: the speaker has Trump's confidence. It was in some ways a jab at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), who has led the push in recent weeks to call for a motion to vacate Johnson from the speakership.Greene is undaunted by Trump's support for Johnson, however — and responded with a post to social media shortly after, doubling...
In the midst of one of his early morning social media snits, Donald Trump thumped out an all-caps “KILL FISA” insisting that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was used to spy on his campaign. Trump’s timing wasn’t coincidental, as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson had scheduled a rule vote on Wednesday to bring the FISA bill up for reauthorization.
