Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 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.

"By a whopping two-to-one margin, voters now favor the pre-Brexit immigration system to the one that has taken shape since leaving the EU."

Even among Reform UK voters, more wish they could go back to pre-2021 migration rules! ~AA

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system
The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.

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.

Just to be clear who’s to blame for SNAP cutoff:

1. Trump admin claims that a $5B emergency fund can’t be used for it.

2. Thune said Trump wants to use SNAP cutoff as leverage.

3. 22 Dem states filed a lawsuit about it.

4. Dems willing to join many Rs for SNAP bill but Thune is blocking vote.

Revoke Citizens United. The Supreme Court screwed up that decision big time. I'm tired of people from who knows where helping to decide local elections.

Of course, it would really help if the voters did their homework.

“Let’s be clear. You don’t seek a liability waiver unless you know you’re guilty.”
No industry should be above the law — especially Big Oil.

Congress must protect access to the courts for all communities seeking accountability.
There is draft legislation in Congress that #BigOil has been lobbying on "related to state efforts to impose liability on the oil and gas industry"

Meanwhile, 103 House Republicans filed an amicus brief to #SCOUTS urging it to intervene to stop climate suits
