In Mike Johnson, Far-Right Republicans Find a Speaker They Can Embrace

The new speaker, Mike Johnson, is virtually unknown to most Americans, but he can be expected to press a hard-right social and fiscal agenda.

The Republican free-for-all for speaker reflects a web of overlapping blocs that have made the party nearly ungovernable.

House Republicans have become so factionalized that their leaders cannot speak in one voice.

Republicans and Democrats have sharply divergent approaches to repairing the programs. Any solutions will affect younger workers as much as retirees.

Republicans aren’t hiding what they have in store for us.
