Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 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.

We just wanted to say thank you to everyone! ICE agents keep lying under oath, and you’re the reason the truth is coming out.

Your videos and documentation have been crucial in revealing the truth behind those claims.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

Donald Trump incites a lot of grievances,
BUT offers relatively NO SOLUTIONS.
"A builder" who has bankrupted six times, including a CASINO (house money) has demolished an iconic symbol of American excellence, democracy and hope.
Something even Osama bin Laden was unable to do.
In 2026, a family of four in Chapel Hill could face a $4,000 increase to their health care costs compared to 2025.

That's why @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to extend the Obamacare tax credits.

Shifting to Medicare for All could save $650B annually.

Improving healthcare affordability for Americans isn’t just the moral choice, it’s the smart economic choice.

The government is shut down because the big bad bill takes health care away from many and will raise the cost of health care for many more. We need those elements removed. We also oppose the policies...

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

"Do something!"
Remove Donald Trump from the Presidency of the United States for criminal behavior and for mental incompetency.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.

Donald Trump - lifelong "vexatious litigant" - intentionally trying to attack and silence those telling the TRUTH about him.
Stand up against bullies. Do not obey in advance.
That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.
