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.

Any Democrats who agree to open the government had better be prepared to be primaried and lose their next election. This is a betrayal of the American people, and it breaks my heart that these weak Democrats would even contemplate breaking with the party.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Nothing works these days since tRump took charge. Even the NYRR Marathon app isn't working properly. 💩 #NYCMarathon #NYMarathon #ETTD

I would like nothing more than to have the Dodgers tell tRump "thanks, but no thanks" on the visit to the WH. Unfortunately, the rich owners wld likely never allow that to happen. 😟 #worldseries #Dodgers #LADodgers

President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

Breaking: Trump just banned states from being able to wipe medical debt from Americans’ credit reports.

The Biden-Harris administration had moved to wipe medical debt from credit reports. Now this new rule will keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’ records.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Inflation is inching higher partly due to the Trump's tariffs, according to economists. US businesses are eating some of the costs, which blunted the impact of import duties on consumers

Decrease in job openings and a cooling of the labor market also put downward pressure on inflation

Inflation Remains Low as
Democrat Shutdown Threatens
Progress
"Inflation came in below market expectations in September thanks to President Trump's economic agenda. This is good news for American families, and it's a shame the Democrats are using them as 'leverage' to fund health care for illegal aliens. Democrats choosing to keep the government closed will likely result in no October inflation report, which will leave businesses, markets, families, and the Federal Reserve in disarray." - White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt
