Johnson said Wednesday morning that he had been texting overnight with Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy about the bill.

What in the fuck. The new administration hasn’t taken office yet and these two aren’t even elected or appointed to government positions. Why are they telling the speaker what to do? \rhetorical question

If a bill has to be passed before Trump is president, he doesn’t get a say just because he’ll be in office in a month.

I honestly don't think they give a shit who takes the blame.

I think they're operating as if they can do whatever they want at this point, and I don't think they're wrong. They appear to basically never suffer any consequences for their actions.
