1. Has Speaker Johnson commented publicly on the situation other than to say they are working on it?

If he let's this interference stand, he has ZERO chance of getting anything accomplished thru normal House order. Maybe that is the new reality but given possible affect on the US credit rating, constituents impacted, economy dinged, debt increased, etc., the blowback that will land at the Repug doorstep could be a real bad way to start a new administration and Congress. While I am sure Trump couldn't reason thru this on his own, I have to believe a few advisors might be pointing out the downsides.
