First part of two parts of House Speaker Mike Johnson's statement ahead of today's House Speaker vote for the 119th Congress: "The American people have demanded an end to the status quo, and a return to fiscal sanity. That’s why the citizens of our great country gave President Trump the White House and Republican control of both chambers of Congress. If we don’t follow through on our campaign promise for fiscal responsibility, we don’t deserve to hold power. The national debt is a grave threat to America’s economic and national security – and no issue exemplifies the Congress’ failures more. Republicans have a real opportunity in the next two years to make meaningful spending reforms to eliminate trillions in waste, fraud, and abuse, and end the weaponization of government. Along with advancing President Trump’s America First agenda, I will lead the House Republicans to reduce the size and scope of the federal government, hold the bureaucracy accountable, and move the United States to a more sustainable fiscal trajectory. As Speaker, I commit to: 1. Create a working group comprised of independent experts – not corrupted by lobbyists and special interests – to work with DOGE and our committees on implementing recommended government and spending reforms to protect the American taxpayer. 2. Task that working group with reviewing existing audits of federal agencies and entities created by Congress – and issuing a report to my office for public release."

Second part of two parts of House Speaker Mike Johnson's statement ahead of today's House Speaker vote for the 119th Congress: "3. Request House committees undertake aggressive authorizations and appropriations reviews, including providing additional resources where needed, to expose irresponsible or illegal practices and hold agencies/individuals accountable that have weaponized government against the American people. If we want to restore fiscal responsibility, we must start by being transparent about the dollars that are spent, address the issues we find, and then hold those accountable who have misspent funds. Republicans have a mandate to implement the America First Agenda, and as Speaker, this will be my priority."

A win for Mike today will be a big win for the Republican Party, and yet another acknowledgment of our 129 year most consequential Presidential Election!! - A BIG AFFIRMATION, INDEED. MAGA!"

Speaker Mike Johnson: We have a border crisis.

Senate: We have a bipartisan plan to secure the border.

Johnson: I refuse to allow a vote on the very thing I've been demanding Biden do something about so we can bitch about having open borders.

CNN's @haleytalbotcnn.bsky.social is a must-follow for reporting on Congress, especially with tomorrow's #HouseSpeakerVote

I think it’s time for the US House to use an ecclesiastical ballot process to elect a speaker. It works for synod assemblies, so why not the House of Representatives? #HouseSpeaker #HouseSpeakerVote

Gym Jordan lost yet more support on his third vote.

It couldn't happen to a more massive douchebag.
