I’ve been in Congress through divided governments, bitter fights, and historic crises. I’ve never seen anything like the last 24 hours.
Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson killed Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s bipartisan deal to fund the TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA.
It was a deal that had the support of Senate Republicans and Democrats alike, 100-0!
Why?
Because Johnson places his own political survival and fealty to Trump over all else, including long waits at airports or anything else.
We could have passed it in the House easily if only Johnson had allowed the vote to proceed. But instead he blew up the whole thing.
Where this goes next is anyone’s guess, but what’s very clear is that Johnson is the worst and most subservient speaker in modern American history.
