There was the $1.2 trillion March 2024 spending package and the $60 billion April 2024 Ukraine "aid" spending package. For both packages, Johnson broke the Hastert rule.
Both packages are engendered by ignorance, corruption, cowardice, and hyper inflationary spending that is utterly destroying our currency, our savings and our country.
And that doesn't include Johnson's suspension of the rules to circumvent regular order to pass other big spending bills, nor does it include Johnson casting the tie breaking vote that endangers US citizens to unconstitutional searches.
