Chapter 1: What led to MAGA Mike Johnson shutting down the House of Representatives?
Valvomme, kun muut nukkuvat. Eläinsairaala Mevet päivystää Helsingin pitäjänmäessä vuoden jokaisena päivänä ja yönä. Tervetuloa Mevetiin. Evidenssia.fi kautta Mevet. Korvatunturilla pukkipuhelimessa. Kukapa se luurin toisessa päässä on? Annelihan se täällä päässä. No mitä se Anneli pukinkonttiin toivoo? Sähköhammasharjaahan minä.
Jaa, justiinsa semmoista ei kyllä nyt taida pukilta löytyä. Kävisikö vessaharia? Ei käy. Käyn prismassa. Tämä on selvä. Kaikki jouluun prismasta. Kaikkea on. Kaikkea on. Hei, kuka ajaa? Mä oon juonut vain neljä. Niin me nyt sit mennään.
Mitäs täällä arvotaan? Bussilla, taksilla tai selvällä kyydillä tietty. No tottakai, obviously näin. Vaikea tilanne. Helppo ratkaisu. Rattiin vain selvänä. Liikenneturva.
On jälleen se aika vuodesta, jota kaikki ovat odottaneet, eli kulkuset kilisee ja kiirettä pitää. Ensin lahja, sitten ruokaostoksille, jossain välissä siivoamaan ja paketoidakin pitää. Kinkkuuniin, laatikot vuokaan, kohta se alkaa. Ruoat pöytään, lökit huiviin ja syömään. Sitten jaetaan lahjat, toistetaan sama seuraavana päivänä, mutta ilman lahjoja. Unnestaa panipäivänä, vihdoin ja viimein koittaa paras aika vuodesta, kun kiekko tippuu jäähän. Jääkiekon nuorten MM-kisat. 26. joulukuuta alkaen TV5 ja HBO Maxilla.
Oof, MAGA-Mike Johnson has shut down the House of Representatives. He's sending all of the members home. He's saying it's time to go on an early vacation. This as he's totally lost control of the House of Representatives. Four MAGA Republicans joined forces with the Democrats to put forward a discharge petition that would force a vote
for a three-year extension on the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Certain so-called moderate Republicans, who are not all that moderate, were trying to propose different solutions in order to extend the Affordable Care Act

Chapter 2: How did four Republicans team up with Democrats regarding the Affordable Care Act?
the Affordable Care Act subsidies via discharge petitions. They ended up getting into a fight with each other so they could actually propose nothing. And you had Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries hold his ground and say, that's not what the American people want. They want a clean three-year extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies. Meanwhile, MAGA Mike and other MAGA leadership was telling those so-called moderate Republicans that we will absolutely kill
Any bill, any discharge petition that has any extension at all of the Affordable Care Act subsidies. So what went down yesterday was that those four Republicans joined forces with the Democrats. They effectuated the discharge petition. And rather than allow it to ripen now, MAGA Mike calls a vacation.
He says, we're all leaving. This way he can avoid a vote on the discharge petition to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies. And he wants to push it until later in January. And this assures that the Affordable Care Act subsidy extension will expire when it expires on December 31st. Folks, this is as cruel as it gets.
Republican base support another healthcare plan that had nothing to do with extending the Affordable Care Act subsidies. But what it actually did is in Section 202, it limited women's reproductive rights and basically stopped funding for any plans that would provide women's reproductive rights in blue states as well.
So it would effectively kill women's reproductive rights in blue states or severely harm them if you were on an existing plan. So not only did Maga Mike refuse to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies, he took the lack of extended Affordable Care Act subsidies and said, let's screw women's reproductive rights. So Maga Mike is running through the halls of Congress and he's saying,
I haven't lost control. I haven't lost control. This as he's lost control of the house, as those four Republicans were like, okay, well, if we can't support an extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies, because MAGA Mike, you're killing it, we're going to join forces with the Democrats. And Hakeem Jeffries held his ground, and those Republicans sided with Jeffries. Watch MAGA Mike run away right after he shuts down the house and says, everybody's going home. Here, play this clip.
Oletko oltu hallituksella? En ole oltu hallituksella. Koska tämä on kolmas kerta. Meillä on suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin suurin
before MAGA Mike shut it down and you see him running in the hallways there saying, I haven't lost control, I haven't lost control. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote, urgent update, our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately. Mike Johnson's response, vacation.
We're all going home. We're shutting it down. Just how irresponsible, how immature and how dangerous that is, right? And just think about it, though. In the past three weeks, there's been like three separate discharge petitions. Maybe you go back slightly longer than that. You have the Epstein discharge petition.

Chapter 3: What strategies did Hakeem Jeffries use to maintain Democratic unity?
Sen jälkeen oli järjestelmäkysymys Donald Trumpin vahvistamisen järjestelmäkysymyksille. Sen jälkeen oli järjestelmäkysymys järjestelmäkysymyksiin, jossa järjestelmäkysymyksiä voidaan lisätä, mutta Maga-Mikein jälkeen, kun hän ja Trumpi vahvistavat sen, hän lopettaa kongressia. Silloin ei saa olla enemmän huolimatta.
despicable than that. Well, you can. Donald Trump then held that deranged national address, if you even want to call it that, last night. And what was Donald Trump saying? Donald Trump said, it's the Unaffordable Care Act and Democrats
are the ones raising your premiums. They're the ones fighting to raise it. When it's the exact opposite. Donald Trump's tactics are the Putin tactics. Like when Putin goes, denazification, right? And makes those vicious lies as pretext to invade Ukraine. Donald Trump goes, it's the Democrats who are raising your premiums. We need to go attack Venezuela because they stole our land. They stole our oil. They're bringing in fentanyl. When they're
Mitä sinä puhutte? Ei ole Fentanilla Venäjällä. Mikä maa he ostivat? Mitä sinä puhutte? Tässä on, mitä Donald Trump sanoo. Tulee tämä klipi. Nyt vahvistuneet suhteet demokraattilaisille, ja he haluavat niitä suhteita, ja se on heidän oloa. Se ei ole republikanin olo. Se on demokraattilaisen olo.
It's the Unaffordable Care Act and everybody knew it. And by the way, it shouldn't be lost on us that MAGA Mike Johnson is shutting down the House of Representatives before the day when the Epstein files are set to be released. That's when he's sending all of the members home on a vacation before they're supposed to actually go home in the first place.
Silloin, kun Maga Mike jatkaa vahvistamista, kun hän on sopimassa siitä, että hän vaikuttaa 22-24 miljoonaan amerikkalaisille vahvistamaan terveydenhuoltoa, koska hän ei pysty vahvistamaan tämän vahvistamisen terveydenhuoltojen lisääminen, niin Maga Mike sanoo, että se on vain 7%.
7% of 330 million is 23 million people, as Jonathan Reiner points out. That's a lot of freaking people! And they just poo-poo 23 million people losing their healthcare and dying? That's why these MAGAs are a death cult, right? I mean, who does this? Play this clip of MAGA Mike, let's play it right here.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of MAGA Mike's actions on women's reproductive rights?
Mutta tässä on väärä tekijä. Demokraatit ymmärtävät, että tämä vaikuttaa kaikille maailmalle. Se vaikuttaa 7 prosenttiin amerikkoihin. Ja niiden osalta, vaikka se olisi ymmärretty ilman mitään reformeja, se voisi vain vähentää sitä pieniä amerikkalaisuutta 5,7 prosenttiin. Olemme puhuneet 22-24 miljoonaa amerikkalaisia.
Ymmärrän, että tämä ei ole kaikille, mutta se on 22-24 miljoonaa amerikkoa, ja siellä on joitain republikaaneja, joiden alueet ovat käyneet todella vaikeita asioita. Olemme puhuneet joitain niistä. Ymmärrän, että Mike Lawler New Yorkista oli erityisen yllättynyt eilen.
Hän sanoi, että se on idiotinen ja poliittinen huolto. He sanoivat, että he voisivat kuulla hänet rauhoittamassa.
No, no, no. I was in that room with him, and Mike Lawler is one of my close friends. In fact, I was with him in his district in New York City just two weeks ago, campaigning for a couple of days, raising him money and helping him get re-elected. He's an essential member of our conference and a really smart guy. And what he was arguing for is this 7% of Americans. But here's the point. What we're going to do today is the first of multiple steps to help not just 7% of Americans, but 100% of Americans reduce their premiums.
actually reduce their premiums, not subsidize insurance companies to raise the premiums, but reduce them. And the first of those votes is today. This is the Lower Premiums for All Americans Act we're going to have on the floor.

Chapter 5: How did Democratic leaders respond to the challenges posed by MAGA Mike?
Täytyy kertoa, mitä on valitettava. Demokraattinen johtaja Hakeem Jeffreys. Hän pysyivät yrityksessä. Hän pysyivät asukkaansa. Katsokaa, miten Axios kertoo sitä. Hakeem Jeffreys käsittelee yhdellä perinteellä, että Maga-Mike Johnsonin käsitteleminen tarjoaa tarjouksia.
Don't give an inch to Republican moderates looking for an escape hatch. Jeffrey's got everything he wanted. Frankly, the people got everything they wanted because Jeffrey stood on business.
Democrats will get a House vote on a three-year extension on these subsidies without any income caps or offsets. One senior House Democrat told Axios of the leadership's thinking, we're going to have to negotiate with the Senate, but you don't start from a place of weakness. You start from a place of strength.
You have Democrat Jared Huffman say, Jefferies has been validated completely after Democrats started 2025 with a lot of angst and people wondering if we had the medal. Even Democratic Congress member Ro Khanna said he held his ground and we won. Democratic Congress member Tom Swasey
He described how the MAGA plan all fell apart as they refused to reach a basic compromise. And Swazi was saying, look, I was trying to reach a compromise with these Republicans when it comes to the Affordable Care Act subsidy extensions. You know, maybe we do income caps. I don't know. We'll try to figure out a solution. He goes, but ultimately they fought each other.
They're out of control. And so they had no choice but to join the Democrat three-year Affordable Care Act subsidy extension. Here, play this clip right here. That's absolutely right. This is a Democratic proposal to just extend it for three years. And I'm not opposed to income caps. I have lots of bipartisan bills I've signed on to, to have income caps. And if you make above $300,000 a year, you don't get a tax credit.
ja rauhanvastaisuudet ja niin edelleen, jotka olivat osa kompromisseista, joita teimme. Mutta koska republikaanin hallitus ei halunnut laittaa mitään puoleen, nämä republikaanin kollegat, jotka ovat erittäin kiinnostuneita tämän asian, sanoivat, että teemme sitä, mitä voimme tehdä. Meidän täytyy saada tämä asia loppuun.
To rub it in that MAGA Mike has just completely lost control, you then had Democratic Congressmember McGovern really pushing back at that MAGA guy, Congressmember Mast, who chairs the Foreign Intelligence and Foreign Services Committee. And Congressmember McGovern starts, in response to Mast, holding up photos of John Kerry with Maduro from many years ago.
McGovern sanoo, että miten Donald Trump ja Jeffrey Epstein, miten Donald Trump ja Putin, miten Donald Trump ja Kim Jong-un, todellakin? Haluat näyttää kuvia? Tämä on se, mitä me teemme täällä. Laita tämän McGovernin klipin. Laita sen.
