Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

When you have to threaten news organizations to try to prevent them from publishing the truth, you may not be the good guys. I just made a tax-deductible contribution to ProPublica. I encourage anyone who can afford it to do the same.

An important part of all Republican presidencies is when they destroy everything, everyone hates them, so they start invading non-white countries, hoping that racism lifts them a bit.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

John Carl Baker @johncarlbaker.bsky.social · 3d

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

Trump & Republicans are CHOOSING to literally let millions of Americans starve, lose health insurance, and be forced to work with zero pay. Inflation and unemployment are starting to spiral. Overt racism, misogyny, and corruption are praised and rewarded. Republicans are the biggest threat we face.

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.
