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.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

We've all heard that there is no free lunch.

Well, guess what?

There is no free 747 either.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

"He's with us! He's Black now."

A Hispanic man was about to be taken by ICE. The Black community in Chicago put their bodies on the line, standing in front of him and claiming him as black.

This act speaks volumes. This kind of unity is radical, necessary, and deeply human.

Remember the ‘pastor’ who claimed that you should join ICE to make Jesus smile? In the least surprising twist, he’s also homophobic and of course, blames everything on Democrats.

Can you imagine being a 79 yr old bully who would rather prosecute political enemies like Letitia James than release the Epstein files? He’s a walking menstrual cramp who is pettier than a pre-pubescent girl waiting for her boobs to pop. Color me not surprised.

I feel 100% certain that the convicted felon and known sex abuser raped at least one child because he's a liar and the women tell the truth even though they are almost always dismissed by disgusting people in positions of power.

Trump just threatened to impose severe, unprecedented tariffs on Chinese imports. He won’t negotiate with Xi at the upcoming APEC summit, choosing to sink the global economy. The Dow is already down 300 points. This will devastate American small businesses and cause your expenses to skyrocket.
