Elon Musk's slash-and-burn approach is giving the White House genuine street cred with House conservatives. But it might not be enough to compensate for the outrage he's provoked among House Democrats.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday he “wholeheartedly” agrees with Vice President JD Vance that courts shouldn’t try to control the president’s power as Elon Musk's DOGE program slashes through the federal government.

Johnson has made a habit of appearing with Trump at sporting events — a UFC fight in November, a college football game in December, and, on Sunday, the Super Bowl — since his reelection to the White House. He’s also made repeated trips to Florida, most recently hosting a House retreat at Trump’s Doral resort.
