Meanwhile, Congressional staffers went without pay today.
Every member should answer whether they took the paycheck while their staff got nothing.
It's been 39 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.
Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Horrific details emerging from El Fasher, Sudan: pools of blood so large they’re visible by satellite, people being killed systematically. Last week, MSF teams assessed 165 children under 5 fleeing the area and found 75% were acutely malnourished. An accelerating genocide before our eyes.

Climate change is all to real.
Hurricane Melissa is now packing 175 mph winds over a 60 mile wide path and moving at just 2 mph, which means parts of Jamaica and Cuba could see 30 hrs of total destruction.
In a rational world the USA would be prepared to lend aid, instead, crickets.

Text from CNN article overlayed a picture of produce in a grocery store. Headline reads, “Trump administration won’t use contingency fund to pay November food stamp benefits.” Additional text reads: “The US Department of Agriculture says it will not tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits next month if the shutdown continues, according to an agency memo obtained by CNN. That means that roughly 42 million Americans will not receive critical food assistance from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, in November, unless the agency shifts its position.”
As prices rise and Republicans cut anti-hunger programs, SNAP benefits are being stopped on November 1.
We can’t let this happen. The Trump Administration must use available funds to continue benefits for hungry kids and seniors.
"A majority of western Alaska’s weather balloon network was not operating during the landfall of the storm last weekend due to staffing constraints inflicted by the Trump administration..."

He's doubling premiums for 20 million Americans.
Now, he's refusing to use a $5 billion emergency SNAP fund to keep 16 million kids from going hungry.
But the 1% keep $1 trillion in tax breaks.
Oligarchy in action.
Surprised? Nah...

Gallego: "How can I negotiate? The president is in Asia for 5 days. Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with right now?"
This is untenable.
If you’re attacking people who think this is wrong, you’re doing the bidding of the ultra rich while they laugh at you behind your back.

Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.
