This is missing the point. The military is apparently being paid regardless of normal process and who authorizes it and whether that’s being withheld due to the government shutdown. Trump has managed to get them paid through private donations. They’re now paid off book. Beholden only to Trump.

There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy.
And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.

Bless his heart, the Speaker must not know how things work around here.
Because she hasn’t been sworn in, she legally CAN’T be doing constituent advocacy with agencies like the VA, the IRS, or the Social Security Administration.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)
