Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson has moved to block Democrats from using resolutions of inquiry to investigate Trump-era scandals, including “Signalgate.”

On Monday, he advanced a measure in the House Rules Committee halting these privileged resolutions until September 30.

Democrats had been using the tool to seek answers about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of encrypted apps to discuss Yemen airstrikes.

Johnson embedded the pause in resolutions targeting Biden’s environmental policies, effectively shielding Trump and weakening Congressional oversight powers.

    I for one never would trust mail-in ballots from USPS or any other delivery service. Could get lost (or will not get there in time) easily.

    I know some counties had issues, but there should be other ways to get there to vote. Like sending buses at specific places.
