After a long week of bitter infighting among House Republicans — with the rabid Marjorie Taylor Greene nipping at Speaker Mike Johnson's heels — Johnson flew to Mar-a-Lago today to hide behind Donald Trump. And amusingly, after the speaker and Trump met in private, Trump played the part of peacemaker. — Read the rest
