First of all, it's not a "news conference" if he doesn't take any questions. MAGA Mike Johnson is scared.
Secondly, Trump and the GOP lost. They won't admit it, but they did. That's why they are running away rather than taking a victory lap. So stay strong and #VoteBlue.

"...woefully unqualified to be in whatever position he holds in the administration. He's a joke."
This comment by Hakeem Jeffries could be applied to EVERYONE in Trump's cabinet.

Interesting counterpoint to our anger at Dems.
The main point is that millions of kids would starve.
We are angry from privilege in some respects, and I acknowledge that:

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

It shows Schumer no longer has the caucus.
It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
