Want a 7 1/2 week paid vacation?
Join Congress. Speaker just sent House home until mid-November to avoid votes he didn't want to have.
(one on P.Hegseth and one on Epstein)
House members 2 choices--
1. Vote what's best for the American people, and what they know is right
----or-----
2. Vote how Trump wants them to vote.
Guess they didn't want to do either, so just went home. How nice for them!
