To recap: Trump said Zohran isn’t a jihadist and is going to do a good job, even as Zohran still maintained Trump is a fascist.

Mike Johnson is asked about the delay in swearing in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva: "Bless her heart. She's a representative elect. She doesn't know how it works around here."

This was Machado on Don Jr’s podcast in February:
Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado appeared on Donald Trump Jr.’s podcast.
She touted the oil reserves in Venezuela (the largest in the world) and vowed to privatize the oil industry to enable American corporations to exploit and profit from the country’s resources if she gains power.

Someone needs to ask Trump specifically if there is a possibility of American boots on the ground in Venezuela (other than CIA operatives).
Q: "Are you considering strikes on land in Venezuela?"
Trump: "Well, I don't want to tell you exactly, but we are certainly looking at land now because we have the sea very well under control."

Some people got upset with me a few days ago for saying I thought Machado and Trump were working together toward regime change in Venezuela, and now there are B-52 bombers in the sky off the coast of the country and the CIA engaging in covert ops within it.
BREAKING
“The Trump administration has secretly authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in Venezuela, according to U.S. officials, stepping up a campaign against Nicolás Maduro, the country’s authoritarian leader.”

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?
MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

"California, the whole nation is counting on you."
"Democracy is on the ballot Nov. 4. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years."

Remember when Republicans got mad that the federal government might be CENSORING political content on social media? Remember when they spent three years holding hearings trying to prove it happened? And threatened to jail anyone involved?
