Still, when Merchan admonished him to sit back down, the former president did so without saying a word. Sign up for The Morning new

A Bipartisan House?

By: Joe Klein， Substack
In my last dispatch, I described the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson as looking like an overmatched pharmacist. Well, he still looks like a pharmacist-but his mildness of affect has brought forth mighty victories in recent days, not just on aid to Ukraine, but also on surveillance funding (the FISA court) and various other spending bills, including the national security appropriation (which passed thanks to pressure from my friends in the bipartisan military caucus, For Country). So I was wrong to call him overmatched.

Bombholing is the practice of publishing wild and unsubstantiated stories in the press, then sending those same stories down the memory hole when they turn out to be false. Then the media hits viewers with a new "bombshell," which makes people forget the old "bombshell." Viewers are led "from mania to mania."
