Mike Johnson could call vote to protect our healthcare, but he’s sending the house home early. Mark my words: He wants them out of DC so they can’t protect our healthcare AND they won’t be around when the Epstein files AREN’T released tomorrow….
What are we doing here Mike?

At 15, I got involved in politics after Sandy Hook because I didn’t want to get shot in school.
13 years later, kids across the country carry that fear everyday.
If we’re truly the greatest nation on Earth, a bullet shouldn’t be the leading cause of death for kids.

If House Republicans want to “protect the innocence of children,” they should ban assault weapons — not healthcare.

He just can’t get away from trying to defend the president without making it look like he has absolutely no idea what’s going on at any point in time…
