BREAKING: The details of Donald Trump's scheming phone call to MAGA Speaker Mike Johnson right after his felony conviction leak — and they're absolutely damning.
Trump used "frequent F-bombs" as he begged Johnson to "overturn" his guilty verdict. And it gets so much worse...
"We have to overturn this," Trump told Johnson. Politico reports that Johnson "didn’t really need to be convinced" according to at least one person familiar with the conversation.
The two of them have spoken several times since to discuss how the Republican-controlled House might be able to help Trump exact revenge on Democrats.
One option Johnson is considering is granting presidents the power to move state cases to federal court — allowing Trump to slither off the hook.
Let's be clear about what this is. The Republican Speaker of the House is secretly conspiring with a convicted felon to undermine justice and bring about a fascist White House.
Johnson should be immediately investigated and ousted from the speakership. This is a grave betrayal of the public trust and a shameless assault on democracy.

Republicans ran on lowering inflation, but voted against the Inflation Reduction Act, they ran on bringing down gas prices, but voted against a bill combating price gauging, they voted against infrastructure, against baby formula, against our veterans AND our police, they’ve already voted against border funding once and they won’t even bring the new border bill THEY demanded up for a vote.
What are they doing instead?
They’re letting women nearly die of sepsis before giving them an abortion, they’re forcing a 10-year victim of incest to carry the by-product of her rape to term, they’re prosecuting women for having miscarriages, rolling back child labor laws, they’re whitewashing history, banning books, targeting trans kids, showing dick pics in Committee rooms, plotting a federal abortion ban, worshipping a traitor, excusing a rapist, defending treason & trashing a pop star all while making it easier to get guns but harder to vote.
The only rights they’re interested in expanding include the right to carry an AR-15 in a grocery store, a teacher’s right to lead prayer in school, a governor’s right to kill migrants, an employer’s right to overwork a 14 year old, and a hospital’s right to let you die.
That’s it. That’s what they want. They don’t have plans for IMPROVING life for all of us.
They don’t care about that.
They want control.
They want power.
They want to break the rules until they can make the rules.
They want us dumb, poor, overwhelmed and afraid.
They want us to think America is “failing.” That government is “broken.” That we “need” a dictator. That we are “under invasion.”
And all of it is designed to benefit themselves. Not you. Not me. Them.
But you don’t have to take my word for it, just look at what they’ve done and what they haven’t.
What they’ve complained about and yet voted against.
Who they’re willing to protect and who they’ll abuse.
And that will tell you what they care about and what they don’t.
So the question every single Democrat should be asking of every American right now, is… what do YOU want? What do you want for yourself? For your kids?
Because if you want your bridges fixed, your water clean, and your schools safe, if you want good paying jobs, bodily autonomy, a more secure border and a functioning democracy then you aren’t gonna find any of that in a Republican.
Cuz they don’t give a shit.
And they never will.
