Johnson and Massie clash over House schedule, impeachment votes

A political dispute has emerged between House Speaker Mike Johnson and Representative Thomas Massie over the scheduling of legislative sessions. Massie accuses Johnson of canceling session days to avoid politically sensitive votes, specifically an impeachment vote against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and a vote related to Jeffrey Epstein files. Johnson has dismissed Massie's claims as a publicity stunt, while Massie argues that the House should be adding session days rather than taking extended breaks, particularly in the lead-up to midterm elections.
