In my last dispatch, I described the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson as looking like an overmatched pharmacist. Well, he still looks like a pharmacist-but his mildness of affect has brought forth mighty victories in recent days, not just on aid to Ukraine, but also on surveillance funding (the FISA court) and various other spending bills, including the national security appropriation (which passed thanks to pressure from my friends in the bipartisan military caucus, For Country). So I was wrong to call him overmatched.
A Bipartisan House?
