The House of Representatives is doing its best impression of a ghost ship. Speaker Mike Johnson sent lawmakers home three weeks ago after passing a partisan funding bill, and they haven’t returned since. This week he quietly canceled yet another session, ensuring that the House remains dark while the country’s lights flicker. The government has shut down, federal workers are being purged, and yet the nation’s legislative branch is literally out of office. - Mary Geddry
