WATCH: Speaker Johnson says he’s “deeply disappointed” the senate passed a bill he voted for 🤔

@rokhanna.bsky.social : “Johnson looks frazzled. He’s lost it, attacking a bill the survivors wanted without talking to them… that he voted for. He has lost the confidence of half his caucus.”

Pence rebukes Trump for his comments on Khashoggi's murder:

"I would not have made that statement... I think it's very important that we never cast aside our deep commitment to freedom, to freedom of the press. Had I been given the opportunity... that meeting would have gone a little different."

📌 The Trump administration is suing California over its new laws banning ICE from hiding behind masks and forcing them to show IDs while they run operations in the state.

Whoa, this is wild.

Either Thune played Johnson or Johnson tried to play us and failed. Either way, Johnson looks like a fool and Trump has lost his grip on Congress.
