  1. “I refuse to be a thespian in the Speaker’s failure theater,” Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky said in a Monday post on X ahead of the vote. “The 6 month continuing resolution with the SAVE Act attached is an insult to Americans’ intelligence. The CR doesn’t cut spending, and the shiny object attached to it will be dropped like a hot potato before passage.”

    The “shiny object” in question is the SAVE Act, an election integrity measure Johnson attached that would require proof of citizenship for voter registration. The SAVE Act, which was spearheaded by Republican Rep. Chip Roy, passed the House in July with five Democrats defecting and voting alongside 216 Republicans in support of the bill.

    Johnson wouldn’t have brought it to a vote if he didn’t know it was going to fail. Let’s not forget that this is the man that fully bought into BLM.
