The government is shutdown, but the House refuses to go back in session. Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. @SpeakerJohnson doesn’t want that to be the news.

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

Compelling talks on the FCC and Kimmel on NPR this morning. A free speech lawyer says the FCC lacks legal authority to police speech or arbitrarily cancel licenses. As for companies caving in, the lawyer says: “A spine is a terrible thing to waste.” https://t.co/kMcdYhaT1j

So sorry for your loss @KirkHerbstreit 💔 it’s the worst feeling in the world
