The alliance between Speaker Mike Johnson and President-elect Donald Trump may prove to be the most important relationship in Washington.

Critics said the removal erodes congressional oversight and advances the interests of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Johnson sent shockwaves around Capitol Hill when he decided to oust Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio — a staunch NATO supporter who has aggressively pushed for U.S. aid to Ukraine — as chair of the House Intelligence Committee and replace him with Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., a conservative who voted against the most recent Ukraine aid package.

House Speaker Mike Johnson laid out the timeline for a reconciliation bill during an appearance on a Sunday morning news show.

Norman had just voted against Mike Johnson when Nancy Mace handed him the phone and said that Trump wanted to speak with him.

Donald Trump had hinted he didn’t want flags at half-staff on his inauguration day. Johnson’s granted his wish, at least for the U.S. Capitol.

Representative Rick Crawford will be the next House Intelligence Committee chair, following his colleague Mike Turner’s unceremonious removal by Speaker Mike Johnson Wednesday.

The House speaker has reportedly bowed to Donald Trump in deciding to remove Mike Turner from his committee leadership spot.

There are still two weeks to go in the mourning period for former president Jimmy Carter, when American flags are directed to be flown at half-staff.

Trump has complained about the flags being at half-staff "for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President."

Unlike past incoming presidents, Trump knows how to get his agenda done because he already had one term sitting in the Oval Office.
