Mike Johnson views his primary role as Speaker to prevent as many votes as possible on things that would easily pass because a bipartisan majority favors them. That is exactly what he has done his entire tenure. He blocks things majorities want and keeps the House out of session for long stretches.

The Fed just cut rates by a quarter of a percentage point.
The revised statement is remarkably buttoned down, probably due to the shutdown-inflicted data blackout.
And we are now up to three dissents - one for lower rates, and two for no change. But the committee is more deeply divided than that.

Our sundowning president is starting a war with a country to distract from his shitty economy, his involvement in the world's most notorious sex-trafficking ring, his lack of any kind of policy plan, and the war crimes that he's committing in real time.

(Reuters) - Chinese firms are expanding in Vietnam, leading investment inflows and sending record shipments to Hanoi in defiance of U.S. calls for decoupling, as the Communist neighbours beef up ties.

The research so far has shown this is is NOT TRUE. Autism seems to be significantly genetic and there is some evidence pointing to inflammatory illness during pregnancy, e.g. Covid, increasing autism rates. But Tylenol has been widely shown to be safe during pregnancy.
WSJ reports RFK Jr has instructed HHS to link autism with Tylenol use during pregnancy and folate deficiency.
