Repubs voted against extending the ACA tax credits because it would increase the deficit by $30 billion a year. But the Trump "administration" has blown up the deficit by $167 billion, and they always find ways to cut taxes for the wealthy.
Red states will be hit hardest.

It's a shell game. Trump is taking money from soldiers' housing subsidies to "give" them $1,776 "warrior dividend" checks.
Trump rebrands Congressionally-approved troop housing subsidy as ‘warrior dividend’ bonus
More than $2.9 billion in reconciliation funds was allocated to beef up troop housing allowances. Now it’s being used for $1,776 checks.

This is now the third time this year the Cowardly Speaker has sent the House home early when things weren't going his way.
Deciding when to recess the House to "district work periods" isn't some inherent or longstanding power of the Speaker. It was only added to the rules for the first time in this Congress. Otherwise this would have required the full House to vote on it, which could have been defeated.
As expected, in order to avoid a vote on extension of the ACA, Mike Johnson is gaveling the House into recess.

Susie Trump hasn’t denied making those statements. She’s just claiming they’ve been “taken out of context.”

Exclusive: group behind notorious Florida immigration detention center created bid for reconstruction deal
Trump administration insiders and well-connected Republican businesses have been jostling to dominate pending humanitarian aid and reconstruction logistics in the shattered Gaza Strip, according to sources and documents reviewed by the Guardian.
With three-quarters of Gaza’s structures damaged or destroyed by two years of Israeli strikes, the rebuilding effort to come – estimated at $70bn by the United Nations – could be a rich prize for companies that specialize in construction, demolition, transportation and logistics.

We spend twice as much per capita on health care as almost any nation on Earth. We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. 85 million Americans are uninsured or underinsured.

What Sen Kelly says here is pretty much what was being said by the general and admirals he summoned to Quantico after his juvenile speech.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.
