The Real House Speaker of D.C.
What A Day26 Loka 2023

The Real House Speaker of D.C.

Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana is the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, ending a 22-days of GOP in-fighting since Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s ouster. While he managed to earn the support of both “moderate” and far-right Republicans, Johnson has a history of voting against abortion access and LGBTQ rights.

The war between Israel and Hamas rages on, and people living on both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border are on edge over skirmishes between the IDF and the militant group Hezbollah. We check in with Washington Post correspondent Sarah Dadouch from Beirut about fears that the conflict could spill over.
