      Grinder mike could, he doesn’t have the authority from the shadoodler…

      Trump is crippling the entire economy while giving bailouts to his foreign far-right friends. Then he is selectively giving domestic handouts to make up for the devastation–but only to his supporters while getting blue states.

      You can’t run a united country this way.

    3. FeelingPixely on

      The optics of Democrats continuing to show up every day and Republicans enjoying the shutdown as a vacation is really something.

    4. >as soon as Chuck Schumer allows us to reopen the government

      Sorry Johnson, but you’re the majority leader/speaker of the house. You have vastly more ability to do this than Schumer does right now.

    5. America Sees what the MAGA GOP is doing and it will end poorly during the next election given there is another Free election

    6. So trumps health is failing, Vought and Miller are the real power and vance is doing a media blitz to try to strengthen his hold. These people aren’t negotiating in good faith to begin with. Let them own this and hope the zombie Americans wake up to what is happening. Otherwise you just rubberstamp their fascism.

      Pressuring DEMS to end? MAGA made it happen. THEY should end it. for fuck’s sake at this headline.

    8. More propaganda. It’s a Republican house, senate, executive, and court. They are the government. Fuck’em, if they can’t pass a spending bill it’s on them.

    9. The Republicans have the majority in both houses of Congress, therefore *they* need to end the shutdown. The Democrats don’t have enough votes to pass anything.

    10. We know why he has cancelled the votes. They have an extra yes vote to release the Trump is a child rapist files that could potentially make things thousands of times worse for them.

      >“The House will come back into session and do its work as soon as Chuck Schumer allows us to reopen the government,” Johnson said.

      So, Chuck Schumer is responsible for Mike Johnson sending the House home where a) Republican Reps will have to hide from their voters and b) Republican Reps will not be able to pass more performative, stupid, loathsome, or cruel legislation?

      Good job, Chuck! You finally got something right!

    12. He doesn’t understand that the Democrats are graciously offering him a lifeline for his party by agreeing to extending those healthcare tax credits that mostly HIS constituency relies on.

      Republicans are afraid to go back to their districts and face angry constituents. Democrats should flood at risk districts holding town hall meetings 4 times a day addressing issue like health care, tariffs and inflation and the Epstein files.

    14. Icy_Pass2220 on

      Johnson cancels House votes next week to avoid swearing in a newly elected member. 

      In completely unrelated news, that member is the final signature needed to released Epstein files. 

    15. So the party in control of voting on bills is canceling the vote to blame the party not in control? Said party not in control is being told there will be no negotiations to fairly represent their constituents as best they can with what very little leverage they have? Bold strategy. Dems better not blink, GOP already owns this shutdown.

    16. Impressive-Weird-908 on

      Lol they did it next week because the following week the US military will miss a paycheck. Trump knows it’s bad news for a dictator when the troops stop getting paid.

    17. Don’t forget why he’s doing this.

      He doesn’t want to sweat in the break elected congresswoman.

      That would give them the votes to release the Epstein files

    18. strong_opinion on

      He’s not pressuring Senate Democrats to do anything. He’s delaying the release of the Epstein Files by delaying in the swearing in of Congresswoman Grijalva.

    19. If the Republicans are this hellbent on forcing the Democrats to accept their „clean“ bill, then you can be DAMN SURE they are NOT going to bring up the ACA extension legislation to negotiate on.

      No, keep it shut down till they actually negotiate.
      That’s the only leverage the dems have and at this point it SHOULD be the hill to die on.

      The dems messaging simply needs to be:

      „The Party in Power refuses to negotiate, they are trying to force this bill that they wrote through without any democrat input, so they are not getting our votes till they actually come to the table and negotiate.“

    20. Those Epstein files must be really bad. At this point, I would bet money that Trump is in those files and that he is in fact a pedophile.

    21. Justasillyliltoaster on

      They can’t approve farmer bailouts with the government closed

      Fuck em 

    22. LetMePushTheButton on

      Anything to avoid swearing in the new democratic representative that will vote to release the Epstein files.

    23. >Johnson cancels House votes next week, pressuring Senate Democrats

      How exactly does Johnson refusing to do his job put pressure on the Senate minority?

    24. NOCHILLDYL94 on

      Protest voters and non- voters, how’s your day going? Was virtue signaling for Gaza worth it?
