Talk about robbing the future from a generation.
The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.
Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.
12 days of work in 107 days.
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.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Mitch McConnell reportedly fell again today in the Russell Senate Office Building basement. It’s the latest in a series of falls this year, raising fresh questions about fitness and accountability in a Senate led by politicians well into their 80s. How long can this go on?

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.
Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
