After shutting down the federal government and voting to do nothing about an imminent health insurance premium spike, House Republicans have now gone on a multi-week vacation.
Donald Trump and the GOP just aren't for the American people.

JD Vance is blaming Democrats for Trumpโs government shutdown. Thatโs BS.
What he didnโt tell you? Senate Republicans voted against our bill to reopen the government and prevent a health care crisis FOUR TIMES.
The truth: Theyโd rather keep it shut than lower health care costs.
Iโm glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.
But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gazaโincluding 20K+ kidsโis Iranian fake news.
Itโs not the students and young people who are fooled. Itโs Van Jones.
My law firm is currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states. While the legacy media focuses on other things, Trump and the GOP have launched a wholesale attack on free and fair elections.

Letโs talk about the people in Mike Johnson's district who'll have to pay $16,000 more a year for health care if he gets his way.

Ambassador Huckabee says his highest duty is to protect Americans abroad but has done virtually nothing to return them. He needs to do his job.
Traditionally authoritarians whose violence against an outgroup makes the outgroup too small to sustain just expand their definition of the outgroup to include new people
