Mike Johnson as a Christian I advise you to spend a little more of time that God gives you, to be in that favorite prayer room with our Lord .❤

I hope that Donald Trump keeps his eye on these people and makes sure that they do what they say telling us right now. I remember how many Republicans in his last term said the same things and then stabed him in the back. People in this country need to understand that a politician is a scratch my back and I will scratch yours policy. All politicians are corrupt and will take money to help themselves. Donald Trump needs to pay attention this time and make sure that they are doing what he stands for.

Yep... toxic career politicians have destroyed America. But business minded people who are leaders in their respective fields will make America great once again.

Does Speaker Johnson know what E-Verify is and how it could help control illegal immigration?

It's not just about hard working Families...Seniors are having a very desperate time making it on SS. The raise this year 2025 is 2.5 percent about 40. To 50. Which will be taken by health insurance and utility increases. They are behind for years....they need a huge increase not poverty level . No taxes only helps the rich seniors!!! The low income Seniors already do not have taxes. Many cannot find affordable senior housing.
Don't forget the Seniors they are not Invisible they deserve a dignified life also.

Many Americans have had enough of Gov. But now have a hope that Gov. Will soon start doing their jobs .

[daviddebraellis]

Why did we get more money to Ucrain without anything for our problem at the Border .? Did you get paid and caved ?
