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.

Reminder that Trump isn’t carrying out an autocratic coup d’etat in the US by himself.
He has the active support and assistance of the Republican party and their politicians at every step of the way.
Trump is Pol Pot. The Republican party is the Khmer Rouge.
Anybody really think they won’t just rig 2026 elections to prevent Democrats from ever regaining control of either branch of Congress?
they rigged the 2024 election, why not the 26 too.
I think it’s definitely possible, but since elections are run by each individual state, it’s not as easy as it sounds.
Hard to take every seat in Congress, but if they just steal a couple dozen Democratic seats in red states that’s enough to secure control of the House and the only recourse for that is likely open insurrection.
There is continually-mounting evidence that 2024 was rigged. We’re already done, our last fair election was in 2022, and it being even that recent is debatable.
There’s not. I’m sorry, I’ve read every link put forth arguing exactly that, and all the “irregularities” are easily explained. There have been hand recounts that validated the results. He won; it’s awful, but he won.
Two million mail-in ballots were trashed because of irregularities. If you’re black, your mail-in ballot was nine times more likely to be trashed than a white person’s. There’s other proof. Search bullet ballot discrepancy. A bullet ballot is when only the presidency is voted on and nothing else. They aren’t unheard of, but they’re relatively rare. There were twenty times more bullet ballots in swing states than in the last election or in non-swing states.

I would love to see some irrefutable evidence produced to convince people of that. I am inclined to think so. We already know he lied about almost everything except becoming a dictator and ejecting immigrants. He also had the disinformation apparatus and full machinations of foreign influence behind him. Can’t embody everything here but that combined with the DNC being complicit to some degree leading to a laisse faire voter block spelled disaster for non-fascist ilk. I just haven’t seen anything about voter irregularities that were supportable yet. Maybe some are just barely irregular enough to align all of it into a win. I’m not an electionologist so what the hell do I know?
