Wealthy christian churches need to be out in their communities actively helping those who will be starving. Any church that fails to do so will have proven that they are not charitable orgs, & certsinly not followers of Jesus if they claim to be Christian, & should be reclassified as a corporations.

Re: Air Traffic Control and TSA workers not getting paid, passengers are charged taxes and fees on every airline ticket, so we are still paying for these services! Our money keeps pouring into the treasury, so why is it not used to pay the workers who perform those services??

“...He likes the fact that the government is closed because he thinks he can exercise king like-powers...
He can open up the parts of the government that he wants. He can pay the employees who are loyal to him..
This is part of what happens in totalitarian states.”

Chris Murphy is spot on!

Joined thousands in #CA48 peacefully exercising their right to assemble. What made these demonstrations so powerful was their adherence to nonviolence, American flags proudly waving, every generation. I see you, America, peering through the darkness.

Gotta remember SCOTUS saying anything he does while in office is ‘official’ and he can’t be prosecuted, so he and GOP don’t give rip about laws or constitution.

And who do you think will hold any of them accountable? We no longer have a House of Representatives although can't imagine why state AGs have not gotten together and forced Johnson to bring the House back to session?

If they cave ... or when?

The cult has demonstrated that laws and ethics are mere suggestions that the cult is not bound by.

Democrats (looking at you, @dnc) mostly have demonstrated a willingness to go with that flow ...

Sadly, courts seem the only remaining option.

How about this?

We create a special election standard, we'll name it the Mike Johnson Pause.

However long the gap from election to swearing in for Adelita Grijalva is the new standard for seating Republicans elected in special elections.
