These are the agencies that investigate THEM; Trump, his cronies, etc.

[sheenafrance]

Harder for Russia to own the US if the alphabet agencies are properly supported and funded...

[DianaECohen]

I still say that if MTG can impeach Mayorkis because they don't like his policies but they claim its a high crime to not do your job. Then why can't someone impeach Mike Johnson, MTG, Jim Jordon, Comer, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert among others for not doing the job we the people sent them to Washington to do???

[alaine]

What about the funding from Russia being reported, towards Johnson?

[kayezbiciak]

Well, if our security system is being defunded, I say those systems should focus on the higher ups committing offenses and leave the small stuff for last. See how MAGA like that!

[brianholloway]

Watching them attempt to defund the police and blame dems at the same time is just WOW

[hattkelley]

This bright, articulate, and dedicated man has the most thankless job in America.. May God protect and support him.

[dougsimmons]

They want to defund the agencies that can put them in jail, imagine that !!!

Moscow Mike Johnson's number 1 donor to his campaign is Konstantin Nikolaev, a Putin operative. That's why aid to Ukraine dried up.

[davidfroemming]

With regard to the MAGA anti-taxation to protect the top 2%, we need to halt thier lobby by ending Citizens United. Then funding will not be a problem. And in such a discussion, corporate subsidies must be placed on the table for the public to see. We have a border problem, but nothing like the fear and hate of MAGA. We must also name the number of immigrants we need for a successful economy.

Rusky Johnson would cut intelligence funding - at the order/payoff of his handlers.

[shaunwalker]

Good morning Morning Joe and Staff. I watch you every morning, I don't care what party you are in. You speak the truth and always get the right people with experience. So thank you for coming in my home EARLY in the morning.

[BlackandBlessed]

America will show republicans better than tell them 😄
Let’s Go🇺🇸
Vote Blue 🩵💙🇺🇸

[johntillotson]

Johnson needs to be removed from congress. Those who were involved or supported the insurrection

[utjjkvs]

The cuts should start with the salaries of the house and senate that are not doing their jobs. How about hold them accountable for the frivolous spending? 😮. Makes sense to me. Start with who is wasting the most money the GOP.

[seymourbutts]

The pettty vindictive nature of conservatives always shines through.

[CalebTrask]

Golly. Why would the GOP want to cut funding for law enforcement?

[terrencekane]

RNC Headquarters should fly the flag of the Russian Federation. 🇷🇺

[gailhorrocks]

Please STOP these Republicans.


I'm so frightened by their rhetoric and positions.
Please help us

Don't give up, Jeffries! We appreciate you!❤
