Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
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.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Walmart and McDonaldβs are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year β over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M β 930x the company's median employee pay.

75% disapproval will be a nice number. I can't see how anyone can approve of a leader who tries to starve 40% of his base, commits murder on the high seas, raises prices on almost everything, makes it almost impossible to stay healthy and threatens to ruin anyone who doesn't like him. IMPEACH!

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?
Does anyone work anymore?"
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβbut in jobs that pay poverty wages

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
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.

Just thought Iβd point out that what LSU will have to pay Brian Kelly to leave Baton Rouge - funds that I presume LSU will raise with the snap of a finger - is about one-third the cost of a new LSU library. Losing football programs get more love and attention than academics in Louisiana.
