Speaker Mike Johnson cancelled the House’s last scheduled votes and sent members home until November 9, nearly a week after the election. That also pushed back a forced vote on impeaching Secretary Hegseth. A recess timed to spare members from recorded votes before an election isn’t a schedule. It’s a way to avoid accountability, and it leaves every American without a working House. Nurses, teachers, and service workers don’t get to skip their jobs when the work is hard, and neither should the people we pay to legislate. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to commit to keeping the House in session for pending business, and to oppose any Speaker who uses the calendar to block a vote.
