Mike Johnson's DHS nightmare just got a shooting, a gala, and a pay freeze all at once
Heather Cox Richardson!
"The Republican majority in the House is so slim that attendance issues have forced Johnson to delay votes to prevent Democrats from defeating bills. Now that members don’t want to go on the record either against Trump or for him, the ability of the House to get through the work it needs to is in jeopardy."

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman told Bloomberg on a Washington visit that he has no intention of contributing financially to the 2026 U.S. elections, despite pressure on Silicon Valley billionaires to fund mid‑term races; he expressed a desire to see “money out of politics” and noted that, while competitors may use money to target the industry, OpenAI itself will not. Altman met with Senator Bernie Sanders and other lawmakers, discussed the need for uniform regulations, and emphasized that OpenAI is not affiliated with the “Leading the Future” super‑PAC, which has received $25 million from OpenAI President Greg Brockman.

📰 Original title: 'My god': Mike Johnson ridiculed mercilessly after new 'embarrassing' omission

House Speaker Mike Johnson faced widespread criticism after he posted a statement on social media praising former President Donald Trump’s role in international diplomacy with Iran. In his post on X, Johnson claimed that Trump was the “ONLY” leader capable of bringing Iran, described as the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, to the negotiating table. He further suggested that a new peace deal involving Iran was underway and expressed optimism about learning more details. The remarks quickly drew pushback from political commentators, journalists, and online critics who pointed out that diplomatic engagement with Iran had occurred under previous administrations. Critics specifically referenced the Obama administration’s role in negotiating the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, which included limits on uranium enrichment and monitoring measures enforced by international inspectors. Opponents of Johnson’s statement argued that his characterization overlooked prior diplomatic efforts and misrepresented recent history. Social media users and political commentators accused him of repeating an inaccurate narrative, with some calling the post misleading and embarrassing for a high-ranking congressional leader. Others highlighted that regardless of opinions on the effectiveness of past agreements, formal negotiations with Iran had already taken place before the Trump administration. The controversy quickly spread online, with Johnson’s remarks becoming a focal point in broader partisan debates about U.S. foreign policy and Iran. The incident underscores ongoing tensions in American political discourse surrounding Middle East diplomacy, legacy agreements, and competing interpretations of recent diplomatic history.
