Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson has moved to block Democrats from using resolutions of inquiry to investigate Trump-era scandals, including “Signalgate.”

On Monday, he advanced a measure in the House Rules Committee halting these privileged resolutions until September 30.

Democrats had been using the tool to seek answers about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of encrypted apps to discuss Yemen airstrikes.

Johnson embedded the pause in resolutions targeting Biden’s environmental policies, effectively shielding Trump and weakening Congressional oversight powers.

    You can only spam the same videos so many times before everyone just assumes they’re garbage.
