Why is Holy Mike refusing to call the world’s (formerly) best deliberative body back in session… to deliberate?

Principally in order to improve the GOP's position in the shutdown. If the House isn't in session, then there is not an easy way to modify the CR currently before the Senate. So it's a yes-no vote, not an "anything is on the table" vote.

Secondarily, because if the House is called into session he'll need to seat Grijalva, who would give the last signature necessary for the Epstein discharge petition. Which is going to happen anyway, but the sooner that happens the sooner the legislative clock starts ticking on it. And Johnson would prefer to avoid dealing with that as long as possible.
