I heard a new joke

Knock, knock. Who’s there? {NAME} – I’ve got a new knock knock joke for you.  Knock knock. Who’s there? Not Congress. Not Congress who? .........  Sorry, there’s no punchline on this one – because nobody’s there to answer the door.  The House has been on vacation for the last two weeks after Republicans spent the first month of the year in a tailspin. When they come back to work tomorrow, we’ll have two days to avoid a government shutdown – and they have NO deal on the table. [A graphic featuring a headline from Reuters dated today, February 27, 2024, which reads: “Chaotic US Congress hurtles toward new government shutdown deadline.” The headline is imposed over an image of Republicans surrounding Mike Johnson shortly after he was elected Speaker in 2023, clapping and cheering.]( Our own representatives from Arkansas wasted time on a bogus impeachment that they openly admitted was just a PR stunt, and for all their talk of fiscal responsibility they refuse to do the work of making sure the government pays its bills and fulfills its obligations to its people.  [It’s time to end the chaos and send four bold Democratic fighters to D.C. who will put people over party and politics. Will you pitch in now to help Vortex flip all four seats from Arkansas – and flip the House in November?]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [  Express Donate: $25  Â]( [  Express Donate: $50  Â]( [  Express Donate: $100 Â]( [  Express Donate: $250 Â]( [  Express Donate: $500 Â]( [  Donate Other Amount: Â]( The MAGA radicals in Congress are calling all the shots with this Republican majority, and this bunch is eager for a shutdown.  They’re not concerned about the billions of dollars a shutdown will cost or the hundreds of thousands of Americans – including more than 12,500 right here in Arkansas – who may be left hanging without a paycheck for who knows how long.  They don’t care about the millions of Americans who won’t be able to access vital services or all the small businesses that will lose out on customers while millions of federal employees are stuck without a paycheck.  They think this is all a game. Maybe they think it IS a joke.  Well I’ve got a new punchline for our congressmen this November: Knock knock. Who’s there? It’s Vortex – and it’s time for you to get out of the House. Leave the keys on the counter!  Let’s go! Dr. Chris Jones [Support Vortex today >>](      Vortex PAC is a new grassroots movement to transform Arkansas politics away from the far-right.
