America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.

And after tens of thousands of young Americans were killed in Vietnam.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.

And in all likelihood not even a "ballroom" The East Wing was added in 1942 to top a secure underground bunker for FDR during the war. I'd bet "ballroom" is cover for some crazy militarized billionaire's bunker.

Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Mike Johnson won't swear in Adelita Grijalva. So we're suing.

Arizona's attorney general explains how Johnson is using the newly elected Democrat as a pawn in his shutdown fight, and keeping the Epstein files secret.

Arizona 7th is not the only Democratic district in Congress that is not being represented due to GOP interference. Tx.18 Houston has been vacant since Sylvester Turner died in March. Gov Abbott refused to call a special election for months. Now Tx 18 will not be filled until March 2026. #ProudBlue

Bc he's not building a ballroom. The East Wing was added in 1942 to top a secure underground bunker for FDR during the war. He CLAIMS it's a "ballroom" but he's creating a super-bunker under it, and Congress better get wise.

The East Wing was added in 1942 to go on top of a secure underground bunker for FDR during the war. The space on top has traditionally been the First Lady's office, etc.. The structure he's building is 2x the size of the whole WH as it is; he's building a super-bunker.

Trump is demanding his own administration give him $230 million.

He's cutting himself a taxpayer-funded check, and paying for it by cutting your healthcare and food assistance.

This is what corruption under authoritarianism looks like.
