So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.
The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.
And they get another vacation

No reason for this to be happening in 2025. In my view, those who have helped promote vaccine hesitancy shoulder part of the blame. Measles is not safe for mothers or their babies. The vaccine is safe and it works. Fact.
So tragic: Alberta baby born with congenital #measles (mother contracted measles late in pregnancy) died shortly after birth.
The province, which has had a massive measles outbreak this year, says this is the 7th case of congenital measles in 2025. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Former PBO on Canada's fiscal situation: "If you look at the numbers right now, a baseline deficit of a little over 2%, that's a third of what it is in the US and UK, and it's well below the OECD average. If you look at our debt-to-GDP ratio, it will be the lowest of the G7. ... We're sustainable."

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Trump's incompetence is everywhere.
His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles.
While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.
