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.

Trump: "The person who actually got the Nobel Prize called today, called me, and said 'I'm accepting this in honor of you, because you really deserved it.' A really nice thing to do. I didn't say 'Then give it to me, though.'"

Why I can't sleep: The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 stripped Jews of German citizenship. If one parent was a Jew, they & their children were no longer German citizens, even if the other parent was German. Today SCOTUS basically said they're ok with that rule here! For at least a generation, RIP America.
