Mike Johnson, swear in Congresswoman Elect Adelita Grijalva. Enough with the BS, "we'll do it when the government opens". You loser, you are the one keeping republicans at home on vacation instead of gaveling in the house for session, which ONLY YOU have power to do.

But sure “everyone’s smiling” as Trump’s occupation tanks D.C.’s small businesses. Sarcasm, of course. If nothing changes, Chicago may soon see the same pattern.

- Tourism is taking a hit, with conference groups canceling or reconsidering D.C. as a venue.
- Hotels report lower occupancy and have slashed rates amid weakening demand.

MAGA says everyone in D.C. is smiling since the Trump invasion. Let’s look at some facts:

- Small retailers and restaurants report much lower foot traffic since the National Guard and federal agents began patrolling.

Secretly deploying Guard from one state into another, for politics, just further damages the trust Americans have had in an apolitical military.

In a stunning development, the Trump administration admits in court that it has moved California National Guard members into Chicago, which to this point has been done in secret. To be clear, there is no security reason to have withheld this information from the American people.

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

Hamilton insists the president's decision is "unreviewable."

A big premium spike can be a political nightmare for the party in charge, as anybody who lived through the Obamacare rollout can attest. That’s the whole reason Republicans seem so uncertain about their current position.

Democrats Are Winning the Shutdown Fight

Turns out Republicans still haven’t figured out the politics of health care.

I’m encouraged by the framework reached to release the remaining hostages, end hostilities, surge humanitarian aid, and bring this war closer to its overdue end.

The success of this deal, and the prospects for peace, rely on its implementation.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I'm talking about the Epstein list. I genuinely don't understand why there's been any effort to hide this & prevent it from coming out. But b/c of the efforts for years now to hide it, it certainly makes you feel afraid when you're one of the ones truly on the frontlines."

A troll on the Other Place asked why the ACA needed to be "fixed".

Here’s how Trump & the GOP tried to kill and sabotage the ACA—making it costlier. Now they want to let the tax credits expire too.

Rep. Madeleine Dean confronted Mike Johnson on Capitol Hill yesterday, demanding accountability for Trump’s latest gross behavior.

Dean said Trump's AI nonsense: “It’s disgraceful. It’s bigoted. It’s racist. You should call it out.”

The fact Johnson refuses to is absolutely deplorable.

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.

The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid

Have compassion.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted “no” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then
