As I posted earlier, Johnson said it would pass.

“Speaker #MikeJohnson on Tuesday succeeded in a high-stakes House vote to pass #Trump’s plan to fund the government into the fall, overcoming far-right opposition as the GOP scrambles to avert a government shutdown Friday at midnight.”

You may not know the name Steve Berger, but the archconservative evangelical pastor has influence in Washington, D.C. — so much so that several Republican party lawmakers live at his nonprofit organization’s headquarters. Berger has said his goal is to “disciple” members of Congress so what “they learn is then translated into policy.” Past and present residents of his townhouse — described by @ProPublica as “what amounts to a group house for conservative lawmakers” include Speaker Mike Johnson, Trump ally Rep. Andy Ogles and Dan Bishop, a former Congressman.

In an attempt to avoid a #GovernmentShutdown at the end of next week, #Trump & #House Speaker #MikeJohnson are pitching a #stopgap bill that would keep federal dollars flowing through Sept 30. Trump & Johnson are embracing it as a way to avoid a politically damaging shutdown fight among #Republicans while still giving Trump wide latitude to slash spending on his own in defiance of #Congress & the #law.

Is the GOP avoiding the truth about voter discontent? Recent actions by Republican House members, particularly Mike Johnson, show a shift in focus from constituent needs to blaming perceived leftist threats. Under NRCC Chair Richard Hudson’s guidance, they're advised to skip town halls due to protests, favoring phone and livestream interactions. This strategy highlights a disturbing trend of evasion rather than engagement.

Trump Sets Record for Longest Speech Without Single Fact

“In what is being called a historic performance, on Tuesday night Donald J. #Trump set a new world record for delivering the longest speech that did not include a single fact.

Congressional #Republicans were awestruck by their leader’s ability, at the age of 78, to give such a sustained fact-free oration.

“To stand up there for 99 minutes and not accidentally slip up even once by saying something true?” House Speaker #MikeJohnson said. “He’s still got it.”

"In 2021, Steve Berger, an evangelical pastor who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie” and called multinational institutions “demonic,” set off on an ambitious project. His stated goal: minister to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.” His base of operations would be a six-bedroom, $3.7 million townhouse blocks from the U.S. Capitol."

"Recently, the pastor scored a remarkable coup for a political influence project that has until now managed to avoid public scrutiny. He got a new roommate."

"House Speaker Mike Johnson has been staying at the home since around the beginning of this year, according to interviews and videos obtained by ProPublica."

How Musk destroys the US government, breaking all laws and regulations:
"Mike Johnson on Elon Musk: "We meet late into the night in his office and we've looked at that. What he's finding with his algorithms crawling through the data of Social Security system is enormous amounts of fraud, waste, and abuse.""
