Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s job is in trouble, as many Republicans in Congress are dissatisfied with his lack of leadership and willingness to cozy up to the Democratic opposition.
Matt Kibbe is joined by Rep. Thomas Massie, who explains why he’s calling for the speaker to be replaced and outlines what he calls “the three betrayals of Mike Johnson.” First, Johnson abandoned the regular order budgeting process in favor of a massive omnibus bill. Second, he reauthorized warrantless surveillance of Americans by the FISA courts, and third, he is ushering through a military spending package that would send American taxpayer dollars to fund the wars in Ukraine, Israel, and Palestine. To top it all off, Democratic leaders in the House are openly admitting that they want to keep Johnson in power, which speaks volumes about how firm his conservative bona fides really are.

Agree. And as annoying as FISA, omnibus, new FBI hq and Ukraine were, it’s particularly galling that he didn’t demand something for America in return. Nothing.
He’s he idiot who walks in and pays sticker price.
I think that our Reps and Senators tend to forget that with the internet, all things are researchable and we, the people, know how to do our research. We know and follow what they are doing and how they are voting so we can see their flip flops and their lies. The one thing that riles me is Johnson promised to release the Jan 6th tapes and he hasn’t done that. This should be the one demand that the rest of our Reps should be demanding.
Massie was unable to convince enough of his team to vote with him. Maybe try again. Maybe he can convince them this time.
Our economy is so screwed up that a few years ago you had to negotiate just to get sticker price.
Unfortunately, Johnson has given the dems EVERYTHING they want! He's a better dem than Nanzi Pelousy.
Massie wants us to believe that Johnson did all this by decree, like a Roman Emperor, (or Putin).
Massie’s big problem is that the Emperor isn’t HIM.
