This is now the third time this year the Cowardly Speaker has sent the House home early when things weren't going his way.
Deciding when to recess the House to "district work periods" isn't some inherent or longstanding power of the Speaker. It was only added to the rules for the first time in this Congress. Otherwise this would have required the full House to vote on it, which could have been defeated.
As expected, in order to avoid a vote on extension of the ACA, Mike Johnson is gaveling the House into recess.

Tonight, Donald Trump tried to sell us all a shit sandwich, desperate to convince the American people that he isn't a complete and utter failure.
He’s lost the economy. He’s lost his mind. And next year, he’s going to lose the midterms.
