Preemptively defending himself against accusations of, yet again, turning a blind eye to an inconvenient news item, Johnson told reporters, “You guys can mock me for not knowing that. I worked about 22 hours the last few days, and I did not get the briefing on that. I will this morning.”

Poor overworked Mike Johnson. Maybe the House of Representatives has a part-time role he can transition to.

I hear “Former Representative” pays pretty well.
