Trump ha preso la decisione di schierare la Guardia Nazionale a Los Angeles, una mossa che Johnson considera essenziale e tempestiva, secondo la sua dichiarazione.
Rumors: The uproar over immigration protests in L.A. has reached a new peak with the President sending 2,000 National Guard troops to the city. House Speaker Mike Johnson seems less than thrilled about it. Here's how the situation unfolded:
California's Reaction: California's Governor, Gavin Newsom, isn't playing nice with the feds on this one. He's fighting them in court, claiming their military move is illegal and threatens democracy. In a scathing online post, he called the federal government's actions "chaotic" and "inflammatory." L.A.'s police chief isn't too keen on the Guard's presence either, fearing it could cause more trouble.
Quick Google Scoop: The L.A. Mayor imposed a curfew in the city center, leading to numerous arrests. Protests have been rowdy, resulting in clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement.
House Speaker's Take: Speaker Johnson isn't saying much about L.A., but he did praise the President for sticking to his guns on federal law. He also had a heart-to-heart with Elon Musk, who stirred things up by criticizing the President's policies. Johnson says Musk was worried about spending, but the speaker reassured him that the proposed bill was focused on budgeting for border security and defense.
Bonus Fact: Musk suggested his supporters call Congress to "kill" the bill. Johnson said they're not getting many calls about that - maybe Musk should stick to saving the world with his Tesla.
Future Fears: Johnson plans to smooth things over with Musk and hopes the dust will settle. He believes Musk will realize the importance of Republicans keeping the House majority to support the President fully for four years. The speaker thinks it'd be a big mistake for Musk to go after Republicans supporting the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Side Note: This is all happening while the National Guard is patrolling L.A., with 1,600 more soldiers on standby. There's talk that the Marines might be mobilized too, if the violence continues. This isn't going to be a smooth ride for anyone.
