One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

👀 “Hey Matt, Aftyn says Speaker Johnson’s plan is to stall seating @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social until you cancel out her vote to the release the Epstein files. Is that true?”

We bumped into Matt Van Epps at BNA ✈️- He again stayed silent 🤐when we asked about what @aftynbehn.bsky.social told us🤷🏼‍♀️

I don't like it when releasing the Epstein files isn't trending.

It's a good thing to keep that trending. Forever until we see justice, quite frankly.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says ‘yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I voted to fund the government on September 18. Here we are on November 6. And the House has not been in session since then. I truly believe that's an utter failure. You can't expect people to show up and be passionate about voting for you when you're not even going to work"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 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.

Democratic Rep. Yassamin Ansari was outside Mike Johnson's office today holding up a sign that read: "Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND."

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.*

Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.
