"Speaker Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House may have more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records."

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

I get why people are frustrated about our health care system. It’s broken in many ways.

But the claim that undocumented immigrants are getting free health care is simply untrue.

Republicans use this lie to distract from the harsh reality: Families are struggling because of their terrible policies.

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Pope Leo met with US bishops at the Vatican, telling them to firmly address inhumane treatment of migrants. He’s received dozens of letters expressing fears, and the pontiff “is very personally concerned about these matters,” said El Paso Bishop Mark Seitz.
