Boyle: Mike Johnson and House Republicans have decided to do their own version of quiet quitting — they canceled session three weeks ago, they canceled session two weeks ago, and they’ve now canceled it last week and this week.

There is clearly no strategy there other than pure, sheer laziness

Insane that Congress is totally utterly powerless against the MAGA regime’s destructive actions against the entire country simply because it’s under the complete of control of corrupt immoral cultists instead of people who actually give a shit. Truly disturbing.

Capitol Police are literally protecting the same scumbag assholes who refuse to pay them but are still fighting to give money to January 6 terrorists. That’s another level of evil.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

Supreme Court's reactionary cadre poised to eviscerate Voting Rights Act's Section 2, greenlighting GOP maps that obliterate Black districts under partisan pretexts, cementing autocratic hegemony in Dixie. #VotingRights

California, we need you to get those ballots returned with a YES on Prop 50. A lot is going on. Stay focused. Help others remember to vote too.

DOJ officials viewed the U.S. attorney in the Western District of Virginia, a veteran prosecutor, as a holdover from the Biden administration, even though he’d been hired during the Bush administration. trib.al/VYCgPzq

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

Adelita Grijalva was elected to Congress 3 weeks ago. Republicans are refusing to swear her in because she’ll be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

The cover-up must end. @robertgarcia.house.gov is demanding Speaker Johnson swear-in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social immediately.

I drove up 206 about an hour yesterday and then all around north Jersey and Sherill is even more invisible on the ground up there than she is down here.

I really hope I'm proven wrong, but this campaign seems to be sleepwalking into a disaster.

The TV ad war remains lopsided, with lots of Republican ads with clips of Sherrill that make her look clueless, elitist and/or corrupt. There's an occasional Dem attack about Ciatarelli wanting to raise taxes, but ... meh.

Football and baseball broadcasts are like 5-to-1 GOP ads too.

Still not feeling good about the Democratic campaign for governor here in New Jersey.

Yes, the last polls show Sherrill running between +8 and even, but remember in the last gubernatorial race the last polls had Murphy +8 and he only won by 3. It's already too close as it is and tightening.

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack is now claiming the No kings rally is a "hate" America rally. Well when fascists are calling you names, you are doing the right thing.

One of the most powerful protest is to stop buying crap — as long as corporations are cashing in, the fascists won’t care. I know, it’s easier said than done.

Shop local, spend wisely.

Buy only necessities.

Follow the money. #NoKings 👑
