Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

There has never been any question about this, it has been Johnson's stated position this whole time, and it's what House rules and precedents unambiguously require. Seating new members takes automatic priority over any other business. They've only been delaying by not doing any business at all.
BREAKING via Punchbowl
“Speaker Mike Johnson plans to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) before the House votes on a government funding package, according to sources familiar with the planning.“

We followed a court order and worked quickly to make sure that nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites who rely on FoodShare, including about 270,000 kids, had food to eat.
Now, President Trump wants to yank that money away from hungry kids, families, and seniors in Wisconsin? Hell no.

It seems crucial (and long overdue) that our national political discourse has finally shifted from an obsession with "the economy" to what actually matters: whether people can afford the basic things they need to live.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.
An important vote in this series: Tammy Baldwin’s proposal to extend ACA expiring funds for 1 year. It’s structured as a motion to table (i.e. scrap it from the amendment tree). But it’ll show the appetite (or lack thereof) in the Senate to address this issue.

This is exactly right. Every word. The idea that BBC "doctored' Trump's speech to "make it look like" Trump encouraged the Jan 6 attack is preposterous. Trump was IMPEACHED for encouraging the attack.
This is part of a strategic effort to move BBC even further to the right.
