Johnson Rages After Republican Rebellion Humiliates His Lard and Savior Trump [View all]

House Speaker Mike Johnson fumed after Republican s failed to approve a short-term extension of a key spy authority provision, known as FISA, in a blow to President Trump.

The president posted on Truth Social on Wednesday, calling the extension "very important to our Military, and keeping the American People safe," but the vote failed dramatically on Thursday.

The bill did not even get a simple majority, let alone the necessary two-thirds majority, failing 198 to 218. 19 Republicans joined 199 Democrats to vote against the bill. Only seven Democrats voted for it. 15 members did not vote.

Democrats in both the House and Senate have balked at the president's naming Bill Pulte, who has zero national security or intelligence experience, as his acting Director of National Intelligence, upending talks on a bipartisan Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) extension.
