Jeffries re: Mike Johnson telling congress to not deal with threat of govt shutdown:
Jeffries: The government is scheduled to shut down on October 1st. The House was scheduled to vote and be present in Washington, D.C. on Monday, September 29th, and Tuesday, September 30th, in advance of the possible shutdown. And Mike Johnson has said, stay at home. That’s ridiculous.

Congress is in recess this week, and Johnson canceled previously-schedule voting days on Sept. 29 and 30 as he aims to jam Senate Democrats into accepting the House-passed stopgap.
“The House is on district work period right now. We got our work done in the house. We got it done early with regard to the funding. People have a lot to do back in their districts, and so we’re on the ready at any time, but the plan would be to come back when it’s necessary,” Johnson said. “The current plan is to not have session days on September 29 and 30.”
