“Their plan to rent an apartment in Moscow fell through, and the family ended up living on a farm south of Moscow, taking care of chickens, rabbits and horses in exchange for free room and board, all during Russia's notoriously harsh winter.”

This is the biggest win for Democrats (maybe the only one) in this deal, imho.
if the Senate comes up with a shut down deal, the house will have to come back to vote to pass it.
Speaker Johnson will have to swear in Adelita Grijalva.
She will be the 218th signature on a discharge petition for the Epstein files.
