As I understand it, Mike Johnson has halted all proceedings, effectively performing a coup.

No Epstein investigation (or any other), no government reopening, no accountability for ICE...

This is bad.

Here's a FB post (sorry) with some disturbing, and I fear accurate, analysis of the situation: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14Kw1FCe5dC/

The extended recess stands to delay the swearing-in of Rep-elect. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who is expected to be the final required signature on a discharge petition for a bill forcing Justice Department disclosure of files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The recess decision is also likely to delay a planned Tuesday hearing in the Judiciary Committee with Attorney General Pam Bondi, with Democrats and at least one Republican planning to grill her on the administration’s handling of the Epstein case.

No taxation without representation. Burn it down.

That is the Republican Party's goal

Worth noting is that this is a story from three weeks ago, so "next week" is historical documentation.
