House Speaker Johnson after he and his wife Kelly were evacuated from the WHCA dinner following the shooting: "We’re thankful no innocent people were harmed and everyone is now safe."
Kelly and I were at the event tonight, and we’re thankful no innocent people were harmed and everyone is now safe. We’re grateful as always for the law enforcement and first responders who acted so quickly to bring the situation under control. Praying for our country tonight.

Congress hasn’t officially declared war since World War II, but presidents have used a string of legal loopholes (and expanding legal opinions citing Article II authority) for military action without going to Congress. Our look at how we got here:

JOHNSON on MTP on govt funding "Well, let's say I'm confident that we'll do it at least by Tuesday. We have a logistical challenge of getting everyone in town and because of the conversation I had with Hakeem Jeffries, I know that we've got to pass a rule and probably do this mostly on our own."

221-205, House passes the “motion to discharge” the @RepJeffries 3-year ACA funding extension. NINE (!) Republicans join unanimous Democrats in voting to advance it. This tees up a final House vote tomorrow; it’s poised to sail through.

30 mins later, just one more vote in favor of moving forward with debate on the NDAA. Speaker Johnson can hold the vote open as long as he wants to try to twist arms and find votes for this. Not much progress happening for now, though.
