Mike Johnson: "Our calls are leaked every week and we had a conference call with almost everyone yesterday. By our court, there's about 3 to 4 members of the House Republican conference who have only mildly questioned working in the districts as opposed to being here."

Yesterday, I took to the House Floor to ask for Unanimous Consent to swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva.

Speaker Johnson isn’t just silencing one Representative. He’s silencing 800,000 people in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District.

SWEAR HER IN.

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

I still can’t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he “has felt the pain” of the trade war because he is a “soybean farmer.”

And he claims to be a “farmer” not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Despite a very strong wind, I managed to salvage about fifteen minutes of exposure out of an hour and a half of tracking before it set, just enough for a last-minute farewell to Comet Lemmon, capturing it a second time after my first shot in early October. 🔭

ICE is out of control and beyond repair
This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

"Reform of ICE can start with firing every one of the unqualified thugs hired between 2025 and 2028; if you joined during the Trump administration and consider yourself a solid civil servant, you’d be welcome to reapply. And wearing masks should be barred."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

(And yes, Trump is lying when he says this was a win on birthright citizenship. It is nothing of the sort. This was a case about federal civil procedure in equity cases. It was about birthright citizenship in the same way and to the same degree that Major League Baseball is about proper lawn care.)

I'm still working feverishly on a major Iran report I hope to publish tomorrow, but I want to hop back on to say that I generally agree with Norm.

The new hoops are stupid—and there's no reason for jurists to compromise with Trump—but yes, it'll be all class actions (lots of them) from here on out.
