      The Speaker is doing that all on his own. The House has been kept out of session since the end of September. He says it’s because he’s unwilling to negotiate on health insurance funding, but many suspect it’s because he doesn’t want to be forced into an Epstein vote. Either way, he’s pretty much abandoned his duties.
