it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.
I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.
It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.
Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

Trump negotiated a supposed deal with drug companies for people on Medicaid who already pay lower prices & another for the uninsured called TrumpRx. We already have something like that, it is called GoodRx which anybody can use. You can always count on Trump to tout something he stole from others.
