Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

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.

As debate goes on about the future of ACA premium tax credits, I wonder how many people realize that the federal government spent $384 billion last year providing a tax subsidy for employer-provided health benefits, with higher income people getting bigger subsidies.

YES!!! Arizona isn’t playing.
Mike Johnson thinks he can hold democracy hostage, but Adelita Grijalva is done waiting for permission to get to work for her constituents.

Also: RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Thousands in Michigan join mass "No Kings" protests across the U.S. against Trump administration Dozens of "No Kings" protests against the Trump administration took place in Michigan on Saturday, with a couple thousand more events happening across the U.S. and abroad.

Call out to Bay City and the 1,200 who stood strong and peacefully as #Anti-ProFa.

Kenzie Colton is with Bay City Resistance,“Both groups were expressing themselves which we both have the right to do."

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Minneapolis is showing up and showing out. #NoKings

We have a president that hates the main principles that the United States was founded upon.

We have a president that hates the majority of the citizens of the U.S.

We have a president that is waging war against me and against you!

Huge crowd at #NoKings Charlottesville

AFT MA members show up every day in service of their community: from classrooms, to local libraries, to hospitals, and more. We BUILD community, not division.

Unions fight for justice, for fairness, for working people. We bow to no kings.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?
