Today, I make the case that it’s better to get rid of Speaker Johnson (R-La.) even if that paralyzes the House for the remainder of the year. Johnson has already destroyed our leverage on any issue, so now the only thing he can do is pass bad bills. Unless we pressure Trump to change his mind, Johnson is about to pass a Ukraine funding bill with Trump’s blessing. Where are the MAGA influencers and Tucker speaking out against this? I explain why a second term of Trump will not change anything, precisely because his biggest supporters refuse to use their ties to him to move him to the right. Next, I go through the momentum of the Freedom Caucuses in states like Wyoming to show that if we only focused on state issues and local primaries, we could change the party in one election cycle.
