Mike Johnson & other Rs argue that Dems should open the government first and then negotiate over extending the Obamacare premium subsidies later this year.
But with open enrollment starting soon, some states say it's *already* too late to add back the enhanced subsidies

Yesterday, Speaker Johnson announced that the House would have another week off, in the middle of a shutdown.
Why? Because coming into session means seating Rep.-elect Grijalva, who won special election in Arizona…and would be the 218th signature on the Epstein discharge petition.

Portrait of a psychopath.
The year is 2003.
17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."
Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

Just amazing that the right-wing brain embraces the objectively-false premise that "more police means less crime".
The number of police officers has little to no relationship to crime rates.
