Mike Johnson is keeping the House closed, instead of swearing in the newest House member who can discharge the Epstein files.
Oh, and he's keeping the government shutdown.
Really not looking forward to a few SCOTUS term. They proved that they will bend to whatever Trump wants, and doesn't want to exercise their checks.

"Surveys show widespread opposition to the Israeli government because of its genocide in Gaza.
But the results also show that support for Israel rebounded by 20 points when the pollster stoked fears of βRadical Islamβ and βJihadism.β
Cue the sudden surge in anti-Muslim rhetoric"

MAGA Republicans have officially shut down the government.
The harm and chaos this is causing was completely avoidable.
Republicans must end their government shutdown now by passing a budget that protects health care and affirms Congress's power of the purse.
In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked β what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers β what would we say?
Authoritarianism β letβs not pretend itβs something else when it happens in our American cities.
People of Illinois, we need your help.
Get your cell phones out β record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.
We need to let the world know this is happening β and that we wonβt stand for it.
"Iβm optimistic, not because things are better than they look, but because things have reached the point where we will have to fashion something entirely new."
I agree with this statement by @petebuttigieg.bsky.social. We aren't going back, we can only imagine a way forward.
Yet again, the American people are dealing with the consequences of Trump believing something that he saw on TV.

Trump is ordering a 50% tariff on kitchen cabinets, but in apparent deference to JD Vance, only a 30% tariff on upholstered furniture.

The IRS only spent $3.5 billion before the billionaire-bought shills in Congress ripped it all away.
They only have $300 million left.
Great stuff.
Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.
