Republicans are on full display for their incompetence in running the government... and in delivering insults.
How low can they sink... and sink America?
1. They can't manage the air traffic control work force and there are airport shutdowns across multiple airports in many cities. 2. Federal workers (including military) are not getting paid while Congress take home pay is not affected. 3. Republicans can't get the Epstein Files released. Possibly they don't want to. Perhaps they want to provide cover for pedophiles. 4. Farmers are reeling from losing the China market for soybeans as China switches to Argentina and other countries because of tariff policy. 5. Republicans refuse to submit to Congressional oversight and instead choose to read insults from an insult book. 6. Social unrest across major cities as clergy and other American citizens praying in the street is pepper bombed by ICE goons. 7. Homeland Security claims they arrested the "girlfriend of ANTIFA."

It's not that the Republicans can't get the Epstein files released; they don't want to release them. Thomas Massie (R-KY) has submitted a discharge petition that if passed would force Congress to go on record and vote whether or not to release the files. All Democrats are voting for the petition along with a few Republicans, while most Republicans are voting against it. The petition needs one more vote to pass. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) was just elected in a special election to fill her deceased father's seat, but Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in until Congress is in official session in a few weeks. Grijalva could be sworn in during a pro forma session (and Johnson did this for two Republicans a few months ago). There's no explanation for this other than giving Johnson more time to lean on the Republicans who are voting with the Democrats on the discharge petition. One of these is Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has said that the pressure she is getting now from Johnson to change her vote (she is voting with the Democrats) is more intense than any other pressure she's experienced since her election to Congress.
