Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

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.

More than 100 former top Justice Dept officials, including dozens of former prosecutors, file court brief opposing James Comey's prosecution:

"not the judgment of an impartial prosecutor, but rather an expression of retributive animus by the President"

Cuomo told New Yorkers “not to overreact” when ICE does things that are “illegal and unconstitutional.”

Today, ICE raided Canal Street. Leaders can’t look away as communities are torn apart. This needs answers tonight. @errollouis.bsky.social @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social @katiehonan.bsky.social

The 60,000 men and women responsible for keeping American skies safe have gone unpaid throughout the government shutdown. Without an agreement soon, many will be forced to dip into savings, rack up credit-card debt, or take on part-time jobs reut.rs/49mvVVw
