Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Trump’s Gaza deal may bring a welcome pause to years of bloodshed — but let’s be clear: one ceasefire doesn’t make him a peacemaker.
While he chases a Nobel Prize abroad, he’s been stoking violence at home.
Peace isn’t a brand. It’s a character test.

The "Peacemaker" Who Thrives on Chaos

Trump’s Gaza deal may earn him applause — but his record of stoking violence at home shows he’s no champion of peace.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

A Win! A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from federalizing and deploying Oregon National Guard troops to Portland. Ruling that the proposed deployment oversteps constitutional limits and threatens state sovereignty.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

Your daily reminder that the last three times the government shut down, Donald Trump was president of the United States and Republicans controlled the House and Senate.

They can't govern.

New in PN: Trump attempts a major step toward dictatorship

"So far, nothing he's done has prompted a critical mass of Republicans to speak out about his abuses of power. And in his address to military brass, Trump signaled he intends to go much further."
