Let’s be clear: Speaker Mike Johnson is keeping the House of Representatives in recess to protect a pedophile. What a deeply sick little toady Johnson is.

Speaker Johnson just declared the House will remain in recess all next week. This will mark a full month off; the chamber has not been in session since September 19.

I still can't understand why the House isn't in session trying to pass the FY26 appropriations bills that were due 10 days ago. Why is this "pass our CR or we recess"? (Answer: Johnson is OK with the shutdown). They'll need to pass approps bills eventually -- a CR just kicks that can down the road.

The longer Johnson stays in recess the more obvious the Republicans are responsible for the shutdown. Are they shooting to reopen AFTER the ACA subsidies have ended?

Now that Speaker Johnson has extended the House recess it is very important to watch whether or not he swears in AZ07 Rep-Elect @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social on the day that her special election win is certified by the state of AZ. I believe Oct. 14 is the date that occurs.

Mother fucker! The House has been in session only 15 days since July.

Its October!

GOP are loser slackers! Imagine if you only showed up to your job 15 days in 4 months.
They get 175k a year in salary.

The Senate is working, but the house is in recess because the newly elected representative from Arizona is the 218th vote needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files and Mike Johnson, Pedo Protector, refuses to swear her in.

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 18h

They don’t want you to realize that the House has been on a weeks-long paid vacation because they’re scared of a vote to release the Epstein Files.

What are they trying to hide?

House Speaker Mike Johnson has formally canceled session in the House again, leaving Congress in recess. Military service members will miss their October 15 paycheck because of this. If troops go without pay, this will be a shameful first in our nation's history.
