Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the rump leader of the House, has decided to sit on her threat to try to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson—for the time being. She is not, however, relenting on her demands, while Johnson maintains he is not negotiating with her. 

The results on Indiana’s Republican primary on Tuesday evening showed Donald Trump winning with 78% of the vote and taking all of the state’s 58 delegates.

Nikki Haley, officially dropped out of the race over two months ago. 

Transgender activists have flooded a Utah tip line created to alert state officials to possible violations of a new bathroom law with thousands of hoax reports in an effort to shield trans residents and their allies from any legitimate complaints that could lead to an investigation.
