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.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

I need to say this:

We must keep up the fight.

Take a day or more for yourself. Keep your peace. Whatever it takes.

Know that there are many people fighting on your behalf.

We will get through this but only if we do it together.

No hate.

The difference between MAGA Republicans and the rest of us…

When it comes to the Epstein files, we say let the chips fall where they may. If Trump’s guilty, lock him up. If it’s a Democrat, the same fate.

See how easy that is?

Since there is now a concentration camp on US soil, I felt that it was time for me to read Maus by Art Spiegelman.

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

What the hell is going on at McArthur Park in Los Angeles, CA! Looks like these militarized thugs are doing some kind of federal disappearing operation on street vendors in the park. This is only going to get worse with the new bloated ICE budget. #UnMaskICE

DOOCY: So what happened to the Epstein client list that the attorney general said she had on her desk? 

LEAVITT: I think if you go back and look at what the attorney general said
