Mike Johnson cuts risky deal as hardliners threaten shutdown



House Speaker Mike Johnson barely muscled the annual defense bill through the chamber after caving to GOP hardliners — and now they’re openly warning they’ll blow up the next government funding measure if he wavers. Axios reports Johnson promised votes on banning congressional stock trades, blocking a Federal Reserve digital currency, and advancing a far-right bill restricting gender-affirming care, along with a separate pledge from Secretary of State Marco Rubio to target NGO funds in Afghanistan.
