House Democrats are preparing to pass a resolution Friday that would set up a recess lasting until July 21.

"Even as the American people want to get back to work and for Congress to do its job in Washington, Speaker Pelosi is preparing the House for extended recess — even beyond the initial 45-day proxy voting period,” Mark Bednar, a spokesman for Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, said.

Good. They can’t do any more damage if they’re all home hiding in their Biden Bunkers.

[ptcmama]

i hope they won’t be getting paid, as most folks who aren’t doing their job. but that’s too much to hope, i know.

[Freee-dame]

Members of the House of Representatives should stop taking their pay. It should go to people in businesses that the government has shut down.

[CoastWatcher]

Will anyone notice?

[alstewartfan]

Good bye and good riddance. I’d support double pay for every day they stay away.

[a fool in paradise]

No work
no congressional pay

[a fool in paradise]

Yesterday’s health faggot is too stressed to work but still earning his $280,000 salary.

[Principled]

PDJT can clearly adjourn both houses, make appointments, then call them back.

[Jim Robinson]

Well, bye.

[clearcarbon]

They are “non-essential workers.”

[Segovia]

WONDERFUL opportunity for “recess appointments”..

[DownInFlames]

Its the HOR, not the Senate.

[sevlex]

That was my first thought,too.

[silverleaf]

After all, Nancy is 80 years old and should be self isolating like Biden

[edie1960]

Indeed, PDJT should go ahead as he promised and adjourn congress so that he can FINALLY recess all of his held-up nominees, who’ve been waiting for years for confirmation.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I remember when liberals didn't like shutdowns.

[rktman]

Well at least they’ll be getting paid to stay away. :-) And, will all their staffers also be getting their pay and benefits?

[SmokingJoe]

Pelosi, Schiff and the rest of the Dem criminal gang can recess till the end of the year for all I care. They are of no use.
The US Senate meanwhile can continue conforming Trump’s nominations and judges.

[Brilliant]

They will be campaigning. That is why they are doing this.
