Chapter 1: Why has MAGA Mike Johnson gone missing during critical congressional hearings?
maga mike johnson the republican speaker of the house has gone missing during a very critical moment as i'm sure you're aware by now maga mike johnson has shut down the house of representatives for about two weeks now and this is a very critical time given that when donald trump claims he's removing sanctions against Iran. That requires congressional approval.
There's a 2015 law which specifies that the only way to remove these types of sanctions is by an act of Congress. But of course, MAGA Mike Johnson knows that. That's why he's shut down the House of Representatives so Donald Trump can reign like the failed dictator that he is. You take a look at MAGA Mike Johnson's activity over the past 48 hours.
He's not in Washington, D.C., not clear if he's in his home district in Louisiana. He is posting about the UFC fight and he's posting photos of men being fighting with each other on the White House lawn with their shirts off. That's one of the things that Maga Mike's posting. He's also posting about how the FBI foiled the fifth assassination plot against Donald Trump.
They were so close to doing a drone swarm against Donald Trump, but Kash Patel saved the day. And now we need a golden ballroom when we return to Washington D.C. to make the taxpayers pay hundreds of millions of dollars that we promised that they weren't going to pay when Donald Trump tore to shreds the east wing of the White House unlawfully.
MAGA Mike is also attacking former President Biden with conspiracies. instead of doing his damn job and being in Washington DC to pass a war powers resolution to strip Donald Trump of this unlawful authority that he's been using that he does not have to engage in this catastrophic and unlawful war, which has now also ended in surrender.
MAGA Mike's like, did you know that over 450,000 migrant children went missing under former President Biden and now 300,000 still haven't been accounted for? And we in the Trump regime are the good guys, yeah. ICE and Border Patrol are out there trying to just help reunite the migrant children with their family.
No, MAGA Mike spreading deranged and heinous conspiracies to attack former President Biden while Donald Trump has destroyed the American economy, destroyed our standing abroad. And while Donald Trump can't even walk or talk in coherent thoughts while he's been in France for the most disastrous G7 in American history.
Also, you want to see what's going on in Congress as MAGA Mike Johnson has shut down the House of Representatives. You take a look at what's going on the Senate side right now. You've got MAGA Republican Senator Kennedy from Louisiana. holding up pitchforks and he's waving around pitchforks. Folks, there's serious business that needs to be done right now.
You have, as I noted, a 2015 law requiring the president of the United States to submit any Iran nuclear deal to Congress. The president may not waive Iran sanctions during a 30-day congressional review period. You see over here, period for review by Congress of nuclear agreements with Iran, subsection B, sub 2, and then another sub 2 right here.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Congress shutting down during Trump's actions?
We remember that. Section 8, powers of Congress to regulate commerce with foreign nations. Yes, that includes sanctions. Now, you could potentially delegate authority to the executive branch, but as I just noted, that delegation is limited by this 2015 law that I just read to you. But Mac and Mike knew that. That's
That's why Maga Mike has shut down Congress and why he's MIA and they just want us to, oh no, let's talk about Donald Trump's fifth assassination attempt. This one involving drones and now we need to build his golden ballroom all of a sudden. You have MAGA Republican senators on Capitol Hill who are pissed and Republican senator like Bill Cassidy. Here's what he writes about the Iran deal.
Reagan is rolling over in his grave.
Chapter 3: How is MAGA Mike Johnson using social media amidst congressional chaos?
Iran's nuclear ambitions were not curbed and they have learned that threatening the Strait of Hormuz works and will undoubtedly leverage it in the future. Now Iran gets to build brand new infrastructure under this deal. Before the war, the Strait was open. Iran was being crushed by sanctions and 13 service members were still alive. Now, 13 Americans are dead.
Families have paid billions at the pump. Sanctions will be lifted and the bombing has stopped. This is the worst foreign policy blunder in decades. So what else was Donald Trump doing in the past 24 hours? Well, Donald Trump picked a guy by the name of Trump.
Jay Clayton, who's the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to become the Director of National Intelligence, the DNI. Remember, Donald Trump picked Bill Pulte, that hack who's running the mortgage agency, who's also running Fannie and Freddie, with no national intelligence experience whatsoever.
Remember, Donald Trump picked him to be the acting DNI, the Acting Director of National Intelligence. And Democrats and Republicans said, uh-uh, we're not going to have Bill Pulte in this position. The law, remember laws? They require that the DNI, the Director of National Intelligence, actually have national intelligence experience.
And Bill Pulte doesn't even have a security clearance, yet alone intelligence. actual experience in national intelligence. Also, he's proven just to be a Trump hack, and he goes through people's mortgage documents, and he's the guy who works with Donald Trump to leak private information of people who Trump despises and have the DOJ go after them. That's who Bill Pulte is, right?
So Democrats and Republicans then are like, we're not going to reauthorize FISA, which is Foreign Intelligence Service Act. unless and until Bill Pulte is gone and you move in Jay Clayton. And Democrats and Republicans on the Senate are like, we'll fast track Jay Clayton. And Democrats are like, we don't like Jay Clayton, but he's better than Bill Pulte.
We at least trust Jay Clayton with this type of information. We don't trust Bill Pulte. So 24 hours ago yesterday, there was supposed to be a hearing involving Jay Clayton, who's already an approved Southern District of New York prosecutor. And then Donald Trump said, nope, I'm canceling that. I want Bill Pulte to be in that position.
So then Democrats and Republicans are like, all right, then we're not reauthorizing FISA. And Democrats have been very clear. We're not reauthorizing FISA.
