Watch Julie Tsirkin speak with Chris Jansing on MSNBC about the 'monumental' bipartisan legislation led by Senator Jacky Rosen to counter antisemitism across the U.S. 📺👀

'I'll just say that it's never helpful for the majority party to take down its own rules,' Speaker Mike Johnson says to reporters per Julie Tsirkin. 'And what it does ultimately, of course, is it weakens our hand in negotiations with the Senate and the White House.'

Speaker Johnson tells us GOP members will meet at 4PM to “regroup and reformulate another plan” after the FISA rule goes down.

He said “it’s never helpful” when majority party takes down its own rule. “It weakens our hand in negotiations with the Senate and the White House.”

Just asked Speaker Mike Johnson what the focus of this will be. “You’ll have to see,” he said. “I look forward to going down there.”

Asked to elaborate on the election integrity theme, he said it has to do with “free and fair elections.”

Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, after a “passionate” meeting with Speaker Johnson, says she’s watching two items as she weighs whether to act on a motion to vacate:

1) FISA bill without warrant requirement
2) aid to Ukraine without HR2

Speaker Johnson says definitively: “This week we will be reauthorizing FISA.”

Speaker Johnson says President Biden “has transformed into an anti-Israel President” since the October 7 Hamas attack.

House GOP meeting this morning was all FISA - Ukraine aid, for example, did not come up.

Speaker Johnson spoke in defense of the House FISA bill, warning Republicans that if they don’t come together the Dem-led Senate could jam them with a clean extension.

Rule vote is today.
