If your House Rep is GOP, today would be an awesome day to send them an email or call their office and ask why they aren’t working and yet getting paid. It’s not about the shutdown. It’s about the Epstein files. So ask them when they plan to vote, and how, on releasing those files.
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.

President Dumbass literally has no idea how this works.
Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”
Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes.
Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

Senate Democrats are the only group of people in America that could look at the election results from *less than a week ago* and conclude, “Ah, what the people want now is for us to roll over and show our bellies to the reactionary creeps”

It’s fucking mind boggling.
The politics of the shutdown:
*GOP had a strong opening position
*Undercut themselves with the RIFs and unnecessary cuts to blue states/SNAP
*Polls showed GOP getting most of the blame, no reason to assume that would change
*Dem centrists then folded on their key issue of ACA subsidies

A leader would not have lost eight colleagues tonight. This happened because you let it happen or because you’ve totally lost control of the caucus in one of the most important moments since you’ve been Democratic leader. Either way, it’s on you. You need to step down. We need someone who can lead.
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis
For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

How the hell is cutting SNAP benefits a positive move for the fuckin’ Nazi in the White House? I really don’t get it. Is it because he knows he won’t suffer politically? It bogles my mind. It’s almost like he’s only doing this to prevent releasing the Epstein files. Why else distract w this?

This is the correct framing. Anyone bitching about canceled flights needs to hear this a zillion times: “Yeah, it’s crazy how Trump did this just to avoid releasing the Epstein files.”
I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

I’m not an expert on negotiations, so I’m not clear why the Dems would scale back their demands in order to get their votes. Seems to me, there’s no need for that until public support begins to crumble. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...
