“If it were up to me, we would go back immediately,” Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said Tuesday. according to known.
Cole said he respects Johnson's decision, but said it prevents him from sending appropriations bills and trying to plan ahead. The CR passed by the House of Representatives would fund the government until November 21st. But with that deadline less than a month away, Cole now says he would like to pass a CR that would fund the government until mid-January. And the House would need to reconvene to consider such a measure.
Earlier this month, other members of the Republican Party expressed disappointment with Johnson's decision.
“I think everyone is disappointed,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said. “Zero communication. No planning, and we have no idea when we'll be back, if we'll be back. Everyone wants to work, but we can't work.”
Representatives Jay Obernolte (R-CA), Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) and Stephanie Bice (R-OK) also raised concerns about the long absence during a private House GOP call: The Washington Post reported this..
Meanwhile, Democrats have continually criticized Johnson and House Republicans for being “on vacation” while they try to negotiate a way out of the lockdown.

Only 38% of those surveyed said they would vote “no” on the ballot. What's even more interesting is that, according to CBS News, the vast majority of those who support the measure (75%) see it as an opportunity to oppose Donald Trump:
The vast majority of those voting for him say one reason is because they oppose the Trump administration, which they believe has generally treated California worse than other states, and oppose national Republicans.
In general, those who see their vote on Proposition 50 as a national issue support it, and that rationale in turn helps push the “yes” side of the measure forward.

If you needed another reason to distrust Pete Hegseth's official Department of Defense line, the agency just announced the creation of a “new media” press corps made up of the most extreme members of the right-wing media. Part of this project are Gateway Pundit, Tim Poole's Timcast, Frontlines media organization at Turning Point USA, and Jack Posobiek's publication Human Events. according to the Washington Post. Die-hard Trump fan and MyPillow CEO's streaming service, Lindell TV, is also involved, because why not.
The announcement came a week after the Pentagon's longtime press corps left its posts under a blatant new press policy that prevents journalists from “solicitation” even for unclassified information that has not been cleared for publication and prevents them from performing the most basic aspects of their jobs. In a show of solidarity, reporters from major news outlets surrendered their press credentials and walked out of their longtime offices in the building together. Interestingly, as WaPo notes, some Trump-friendly media outlets, including Newsmax and Hegseth's old employer Fox News, have also refused to sign the media policy.

The House has not been in session for more than four weeks, since House Republicans struggled to pass their short-term spending bill.

New CBS News vote found that 68% of those polled in California, a large majority, support Proposition 50, the redistricting proposal that will go before voters this fall during a special election. The measure asks voters to support temporary redistricting in California through 2030 to help the state win five Democratic seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. It is intended to offset the impact of new Texas maps that the Republican state Legislature passed at Trump's direction to help Republicans maintain control of the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.

A district court last month found that the Guard stationed in Los Angeles violated the PCA while engaging in law enforcement activities. But the Trump administration is pushing such a broad definition of the statute that allows the president to federalize the Guard that its lawyers argue there has been no such violation and that the troops are entirely free to act like municipal police.
Paraphrasing California's reasoning, Judge Mark Bennett asked: “Even Guard members called into service are subject to all laws, regulations, etc., including the PCA. So what is your answer to that?”

Since then, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Los Angeles) has refused to bring the House back into session. It's all part of an attempt to get Senate Democrats to vote for the CR GOP.
That, of course, didn't work, and no funding resolutions passed the Senate because Republicans refused to grant Democrats' request to extend Obamacare subsidies that are set to expire at the end of the year. Now, 22 days after the shutdown, some House Republicans are becoming increasingly vocal about their desire to get back to work.
“If it were up to me, we would go back immediately,” Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK), chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said Tuesday. according to known.
Cole said he respects Johnson's decision, but said it prevents him from sending appropriations bills and trying to plan ahead. The CR passed by the House of Representatives would fund the government until November 21st. But with that deadline less than a month away, Cole now says he would like to pass a CR that would fund the government until mid-January. And the House would need to reconvene to consider such a measure.
Earlier this month, other members of the Republican Party expressed disappointment with Johnson's decision.
“I think everyone is disappointed,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said. “Zero communication. No planning, and we have no idea when we'll be back, if we'll be back. Everyone wants to work, but we can't work.”
Representatives Jay Obernolte (R-CA), Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) and Stephanie Bice (R-OK) also raised concerns about the long absence during a private House GOP call: The Washington Post reported this..
Meanwhile, Democrats have continually criticized Johnson and House Republicans for being “on vacation” while they try to negotiate a way out of the lockdown.

But arguments Wednesday before a 9th Circuit panel of two Trump appointees and one Biden appointee showed the division is not so clear-cut.
A district court last month found that the Guard stationed in Los Angeles violated the PCA while engaging in law enforcement activities. But the Trump administration is pushing such a broad definition of the statute that allows the president to federalize the Guard that its lawyers argue there has been no such violation and that the troops are entirely free to act like municipal police.
Paraphrasing California's reasoning, Judge Mark Bennett asked: “Even Guard members called into service are subject to all laws, regulations, etc., including the PCA. So what is your answer to that?”
“I do not think that this language will override section 12406's express authorization to enforce laws,” responded Eric MacArthur of the Justice Department.
Add to this the perfect storm of legally untested presidential powers, ambiguously written laws, and a bloodthirsty president: troops with no clear limits on the force they can use against citizens. To use the correct legal terminology, yes.

New CBS News vote found that 68% of those polled in California, a large majority, support Proposition 50, the redistricting proposal that will go before voters this fall during a special election. The measure asks voters to support temporary redistricting in California through 2030 to help the state win five Democratic seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. It is intended to offset the impact of new Texas maps that the Republican state Legislature passed at Trump's direction to help Republicans maintain control of the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.
Only 38% of those surveyed said they would vote “no” on the ballot. What's even more interesting is that, according to CBS News, the vast majority of those who support the measure (75%) see it as an opportunity to oppose Donald Trump:
The vast majority of those voting for him say one reason is because they oppose the Trump administration, which they believe has generally treated California worse than other states, and oppose national Republicans.
In general, those who see their vote on Proposition 50 as a national issue support it, and that rationale in turn helps push the “yes” side of the measure forward.

If you needed another reason to distrust Pete Hegseth's official Department of Defense line, the agency just announced the creation of a “new media” press corps made up of the most extreme members of the right-wing media. Part of this project are Gateway Pundit, Tim Poole's Timcast, Frontlines media organization at Turning Point USA, and Jack Posobiek's publication Human Events. according to the Washington Post. Die-hard Trump fan and MyPillow CEO's streaming service, Lindell TV, is also involved, because why not.
The announcement came a week after the Pentagon's longtime press corps left its posts under a blatant new press policy that prevents journalists from “solicitation” even for unclassified information that has not been cleared for publication and prevents them from performing the most basic aspects of their jobs. In a show of solidarity, reporters from major news outlets surrendered their press credentials and walked out of their longtime offices in the building together. Interestingly, as WaPo notes, some Trump-friendly media outlets, including Newsmax and Hegseth's old employer Fox News, have also refused to sign the media policy.

The PCA prevents the military from enforcing the law, a bulwark ingrained in American tradition against the military being pitted against its citizens. It is generally accepted that the Guard cannot operate as regular law enforcement unless President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, a clear exception to the PCA.
