Exposing New GOP Speaker Mike Johnson's Extremism | Alex Sammon | TMR
Alex Sammon, politics writer at Slate, about the new speakership of Rep. Mike Johnson and his recent piece in Harper’s entitled “Forbidden Fruit: The anti-avocado militias of Michoacán.”
Alex Sammon walks through his assessment of the nascent Speakership of Mike Johnson, a nondescript right-wing bigot, first clarifying what distinction the GOP moderates were able to manufacture between him and other extremist candidates, before tackling his generically bigoted, theocratic, and fascistic agenda. Wrapping up, Sammon tackles Johnson’s role in representing the GOP’s extreme evangelical base, what that means for the future of queer people, and how the right-wing media is somehow spinning the election of the mastermind behind Trump’s coup as a success for moderate republicanism.

House Rep. Ilhan Omar questioned Sec. State Anthony Blinken about the US drone strike in Kabul that had initially been reported as having killed an ISIS-K member but since has been revealed to have killed a humanitarian aid worker along with 10 other civilians nearby, according to reporting by the New York Times. Rep. Omar questioned the efficacy of these strikes, which Blinken says the US undertakes with the most caution against terror targets. The Majority Report crew discusses how important it is to have Rep. Omar to have her seat on the House Foreign Relations Committee given her intimate experience with war and violence.

"Today, more than 30 million Americans still don’t have health insurance and even more are underinsured. Even for those with insurance, costs are so high that medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcy in the United States. Incredibly, we spend significantly more of our national GDP on this inadequate health care system—far more per person than any other major country. And despite doing so, Americans have worse health outcomes and a higher infant mortality rate than countries that spend much less on health care. Our people deserve better.
We should be spending money on doctors, nurses, mental health specialists, dentists, and other professionals who provide services to people and improve their lives. We must invest in the development of new drugs and technologies that cure disease and alleviate pain—not wasting hundreds of billions of dollars a year on profiteering, huge executive compensation packages, and outrageous administrative costs."*

"The majority of for-profit colleges are small, but the largest and most notable bear familiar names: the University of Phoenix and ITT Technical Institute, to name two. Historically, for-profit colleges have been local, family-owned operations controlled privately, oftentimes by single proprietors. But in the 1990s, a new age of for-profit college expansion began: The Wall Street era. It is “marked by the new visibility of publicly owned corporate providers” and “defined by Wall Street institutions.” For-profit colleges do not simply participate in revenue-generating activities, as do all institutions of higher education. Instead, for-profit colleges are also defined by their profit-seeking imperative."*

Former Trump Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany claims she “watched” testimony from Hunter Biden’s business associate Devon Archer last week. Unfortunately for McEnany, that testimony happened behind closed doors and she was not present.
