Deciding when to recess the House to "district work periods" isn't some inherent or longstanding power of the Speaker.
It was only added to the rules for the first time in this Congress.
Otherwise this would have required the full House to vote on it, which could have been defeated.

And it has gotten much worse since he wrote about this in the 1970s.
Two of the examples he gives are nation/world-wide stock exchanges and automated trading (lead to wealth concentration and gambling), as well as highly complex but wasteful, punishing and unfair welfare systems (instead of e.g. UBI).
Good morning!
Here are some photos from the #Mummelsee in the #Schwarzwald . We wanted to visit it last year already but somehow just managed to go there this time.
The lake itself is scenic and beautiful. But definitely a "hot spot". Luckily we were there at a day/time w…
House Speaker Mike Johnson says
he won't call a vote to extend enhanced subsidies under the Affordable Care Act,
effectively guaranteeing they will expire at the end of this month.
That means higher insurance premiums will go into effect for millions of Americans who get coverage through Obamacare next year
