Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I think the hardest thing for liberals to come to terms with is that our political opponents do not believe in democracy at all and actively desire a world of cruelty and subjugation.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

I am interested in starting to hear from care workers on SNAP about your concerns. I'm @motherjones.com's disability reporter. Please be in touch. My email is jmetraux@motherjones.com and my Signal is juliametraux.49. Reposts are appreciated.

it's jarring to think about how much federal funding used to go to stuff like cancer research, food safety, public health, science grants, and USAID and now it's private planes for ICE, $40 billion to Argentina and a ballroom where the East Wing of the White House used to be

A short term deal to extend ACA subsidies one year isn’t ideal but it would instantly make another extension a central issue in the midterms which wouldn’t be the worst thing for Dems.

welcome to America, where the idea that kids should have food gets you labeled some kind of communist

With the midterm elections coming up next year, just remember, #TheConvictedFelon couldn't have done all the damage to our country without a servile and complicit Congress enabling him the whole way.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Wow. Based on the comments, a lot of people saw me on Maddow tonight!

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California.

California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Bout time somebody did!

20 STILL MISSING IN ALASKA 🚨

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

But they won't. They are all licking his boots even as we speak.

And how many people died or children were mutilated between then and now. They are monsters.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

This Reuters headline. Oof.
