A federal judge has ruled that five government agencies must release billions in funding for climate and infrastructure projects paused under Trump.

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."
Mike Johnson is now floating eliminating federal courts:
"We do have the authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power of funding over the courts and all these other things."
