Speaker Johnson is adding Scott Perry to the House Intel Committee.
Perry sought a pardon for his key role in trying to overturn the 2020 election. People who try to overthrow the U.S gov't don't belong in the House, let alone on the Intel Committee.

Too many, huh? Imposition? Well, now you know how we feel.
A federal appeals court has stopped accepting public complaints against Judge Aileen #Cannon — many seeking her recusal from the classified documents case against #Trump — citing a flood of 1,000 filings in recent weeks that appear to be part of 'an orchestrated campaign.' #legal
Young Progressives: "We won't vote for Genocide Joe no matter what! His opponent may be worse but we're sitting out the election in protest!"

Young Progressives: "Why is Joe Biden adopting conservative policies on the border in order to sway centrist voters?! He's not even trying to court my vote!"
