U.S. President Donald Trump:
"The Radical Left Democrats have kept DHS shut down since February 14th. Our Great Speaker, Mike Johnson, is working hard to end the Democrat Shut Down, and pass the first step of a plan to get FULL FUNDING for our incredible ICE and Border Patrol Agents. We need all Republicans to join together and support this Budget Blueprint, which will allow us to bypass Democrat obstruction in the Senate, and fund Immigration Enforcement with only Republican Votes. The Senate passed this Blueprint last week on Thursday morning, and now, House Republicans must UNIFY, and pass the same Blueprint to get the Bill done. I’ve asked for the final Bill on my desk by June 1st, and we can make that deadline if we keep to the plan, FAST and FOCUSED. Let’s take care of our Great Agents of Law Enforcement. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
House Speaker Mike Johnson weighed in on the dispute between Pope Leo XIV and the Trump Administration over the Iran war, arguing the conflict is justified under the "Just War Doctrine" in Christian theology.
Speaker Mike Johnson says he contacted President Trump over backlash to a now-deleted image critics said depicted him as Jesus Christ, telling him it was not received as intended.
"I talked with the president about it as soon as I saw it. I told him I don't think it was received the same way he intended it. He agreed and pulled it down. It was the right thing to do."
"I don't think he thought it was sacrilegious at all."
House Speaker Mike Johnson told Rep. Anna Paulina Luna she would bear responsibility for "thousands of American deaths" if she votes against reauthorizing FISA, sources tell Axios.
"I was getting a spanking on the floor," Luna tells Axios.

Trump:
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune have been working to pass a clean extension of FISA Section 702, a Law that was passed many years ago by Congress to collect Intelligence on Foreigners and Noncitizens.
When used properly, FISA is an effective tool to keep Americans safe. For these reasons, I have called for a clean 18-month extension, HOWEVER, the Critical and Common Sense Reforms that were made in the last Reauthorization of FISA must remain intact to protect the American People from abuses.
Nobody understands this better than me, as I was a victim of the worst and most illegal abuse of FISA in our Nation’s History, by Radical Left Lunatics who lied to the FISA Court to spy on my 2016 Presidential Campaign in their attempt to RIG the Election in favor of Crooked Hillary Clinton.
That is why, since the first day of my already Historic Second Term, my Administration has worked tirelessly to ensure these Reforms are being aggressively executed at every level of the Executive Branch to keep Americans safe, while protecting their sacred Civil Liberties guaranteed by our Great Constitution.
With the ongoing successful Military activities against the Terrorist Iranian Regime, it is more important than ever that we remain vigilant, PROTECT our Homeland, Troops, and Diplomats stationed abroad, and maintain our ability to quickly stop bad actors seeking to cause
Speaker Johnson on disgraced NCTC Director Joe Kent
“I'm not sure what Joe Kent is reading but it is not the same intel I’m seeing. We had briefings and the intel was exquisite. This was an imminent threat!”
“Joe Kent seemed to understand that until about 24 hours ago. I’m not sure what happened. But he is an outlier!”
“Everyone in the administration and everyone who sees the actual intelligence understands clearly that the president did what he had to do.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson rebukes Joe Kent after his resignation over the Iran war, saying the former NCTC chief was not privy to key intelligence briefings.

House Speaker Mike Johnson rebukes Joe Kent after his resignation over the Iran war, saying the former NCTC chief was not privy to key intelligence briefings.
“I'm on the Gang of Eight. I got all the briefings. We all understood there was clearly an imminent threat that Iran was very close to the enrichment of nuclear capability and they were building missiles at a pace that no one in the region could keep up with. The Commander-in-Chief and his administration had a very difficult decision to make. I don't know where Joe Kent is getting his information, but he wasn't in those briefings, clearly, because the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, and everyone, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Caine, they had exquisite intelligence that we understood that this was a serious moment for us. Had the President waited, I am personally convinced that we would have mass casualties of Americans, servicemembers and others, and our installations would have been dramatically damaged.”
