House GOP deadlocks over Trump's demands, sending lawmakers home early
WASHINGTON (AP) — Whither the U.S. House?
As the nation celebrates its 250th birthday this weekend, the legislative branch has momentarily called it quits.
The House leadership on Tuesday abruptly canceled votes and sent lawmakers home early for the holiday recess, Speaker Mike Johnson ’s majority once again ground to a standstill by a Republican revolt over their own party’s agenda.
In this case, it’s a standoff blocking the annual defense bill — with pay raises for the troops and other matters at a time of war — as the renegade Republicans push to include President Donald Trump’s own priority, the SAVE America Act, a strict voter ID bill. Last week, the Senate similarly shuttered after Trump’s demands.

What milquetoast reporter wormed that statement into the article? There is no war declaration. It’s only called a war when it’s convenient to ensure proper management of the masses.
This has become such a regular and predictable tactic of his that I think it deserves to be named in his dishonor!
He acts like such a child every time things aren't going to suit him. Except that instead of threatening to take his ball and bat and go home, he's like "If you won't play by MY rules, I'm gonna take my ball and bat and send YOU home!" 
One of the best parts of regaining control of the House will be kicking that little weasel to the curb and installing an actual adult as speaker!
