Trump privately trashed Johnson to senators, saying the speaker ‘mishandled’ the situation, according to GOP sources…” “As of right now, there’s no clear path forward on how Congress plans to avoid a shutdown in just two days…” “A face plant of this nature could imperil Johnson’s political future.

  • The Christian Nationalist “TheoBros” Have, Uh, Thoughts About Antisemitism
    Mother Jones, Wednesday - 12/18/2024 - 02:19 PM

    For a brief moment in November, the TheoBros, a network of militant Christian nationalist influencers, made news when Donald Trump nominated one of their allies, former Fox News commentator Pete Hegseth, to lead the Department of Defense. Hegseth attends a church that is affiliated with the TheoBro movement, and he has cited TheoBro patriarch Doug Wilson, a pastor in Moscow, Idaho, as someone who has had a major influence on him.

    Democrats went with the old guy with experience over AOC to lead them in the House Oversight Committee after Jamie Raskin went to Judiciary. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez had been Vice Ranking Member, or Raskin's #2. Some Democrats aren't happy about this, but it's more or less how things in Washington work.

    By FARNOUSH AMIRI and LISA MASCARO WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Ethics Committee voted in secret to release the long-awaited ethics report into ex-Rep. Matt Gaetz, raising the possibility that the allegations against the Florida Republican who was President-elect Donald Trump’s first choice for attorney general could be made public in the coming days.
