Johnson-Massie feud boils over: "Why are we taking days off our calendar?"

The escalating conflict between House Speaker Mike Johnson and Rep. Thomas Massie highlights a growing tension over the speaker's repeated early adjournments, which Massie believes are designed to avoid contentious votes. This situation is particularly significant as it delays key legislative actions, including Massie's push to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The repeated long recesses, including the controversial "Epstein recess," are raising concerns among some lawmakers about the prioritization of political strategy over legislative duties, potentially impacting the midterm elections.
