Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

Less significant to whom? A Southeast Asian man elected mayor amidst one of the worst ethnic purges of brown-skinned people this country has seen. On a platform of basic rights. How is that NOT significant?
BTW, it's funny that similar things were said about Obama...

These people will never understand that most voters aren’t voting with some grand political strategy in mind. They just want to afford housing and groceries and have a nice mayor who seems like he actually likes other humans www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/o...
