Here's the House roll call vote on whether to impose a warrant requirement on domestic spying (yes, the Constitution does that).

The vote was tied 212-212. Speaker Johnson -- despite years of claiming he favored warrants -- cast the decisive NO vote.

I have not seen the US Security State or war machine not get what it wants in Washington.

In the face of mass abuse of surveillance power, they just got renewed warrantless spying power on Americans.

They now have Mike Johnson working to get them the $60b to send to Ukraine.

Someone really needs to a study on the speed with which they turned out Mike Johnson, just instantly converting him into a completely different human being after just a few months of being made Speaker.

You almost have to find it impressive.
