Mike Johnson's official bio says he has "two decades of previous experience in Constitutional law." Yet, when Trump threatens to execute Democratic members of Congress, he suddenly has no opinion.
This is what shameful cowardice does to someone like Johnson and it is how he will be remembered.

Mike Johnson on Trump calling for Democrats to be executed: "Attorneys have to parse the language and determine all that."

The Comey Hearing: This Would Be Hilarious If It Weren’t So Scandalous
Before Wednesday, Trump’s handpicked Comey prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, had egg on her face. Now it’s an entire omelet.

DOG THAT HASN’T BARKED
A Sherlock Holmes story where a dog's silence reveals the criminal,
implies the culprit was someone the dog knew.
By analogy,
it can also mean that a lack of response or protest from a person, group, or institution suggests their complicity or a hidden truth.
LIKE TRUMP KNEW.

I thought perhaps I was getting a little too angry with Schumer. Then I read @billscher.bsky.social’s latest. Now I feel like I was not angry enough.
If he’s right, Schumer caved to *protect the filibuster.*

![I tend to disagree with the presumption that “timid” Democrats always bring a spork to a gunfight. But that’s what this looks like. Matthew Yglesias spills that “a lot of the people I’ve spoken to, both in Congress and in the policy community, were genuinely very stressed out about the harm the shutdown was doing to the country, including lost wages and disrupted air travel,” and “lots of them didn’t really believe their own spin. The public blamed Trump, but [Democrats] blamed themselves and felt bad.” They shouldn’t have. Trump was purposefully making the shutdown hurt as many people as possible. And little in this deal is going to prevent him from inflicting further harm.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:h3ki44q6c2jrhhphbwfr7yaf/bafkreiddkgfwnaxdkecc4isqnd2kq3olflb47uj2skb5dyeoqe5lroj5hi@jpeg)

"Democrats are falling on a grenade for the Republicans, and telling themselves they had no choice."
Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it.

Democrats Should Have Let Republicans Kill the Filibuster
Instead of caving on the shutdown, Democrats should have waited for the GOP to cave on Trump’s demand to scotch this antidemocratic tactic.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
