Today, Mike Johnson will continue to keep the House adjourned for the 71st day out of the last 83, with Republicans refusing to show up to work again to avoid having to vote on the Epstein files or negotiate with Democrats.

Unbeknownst to most or long forgotten is that on October 8 and October 10, 2023; Hamas offered the same deal that’s being pitched as Trump’s “Gaza Peace Deal” which would have handed all hostages over to Israel in exchange for Israeli troops not entering the strip, Netanyahu refused the proposal.

It’s OFFICIAL: there are more marble statues of old guys over in the House of Representatives than there are actual Republican House members!

If those statues could talk: What are the Epstein files? What are they so afraid of? They haven’t been to work for how many days? 20. Did you say 20? 20.

I think Trump would rather Congress never vote to reopen the government than let Adelrita Grijalva trigger the Epstein Files discharge. And I bet he doesn’t have a plan other than the Insurrection Act.

Glad to be working with UMedics on a protester health and safety training tomorrow. We need more of these around the city. We’ve got great street medics in Chicago, but we’ve learned lately that we need more people to know the basics of how to care for each other in protest scenarios.
