And MAGAts are so stupid they believe this bs. This is the result of decades of Republicans defunding education. We are the dumbest industrialized country on the face of the earth.

It's 21 days since Rep. Grijalva won her election.

Mike Johnson could swear her in whenever he wanted.

In the meanwhile tens of thousands were mass slaughtered. Brutal unspeakble suffering of innocents Children trapped for hours and days left to die trappoed under rubble. Intentional starvation. Terrible injuries with little or no access to medical relief. Children shot in the head searching for food

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Trump’s administration laid off thousands of federal workers, gutting critical departments: Treasury, HHS, and Education.

What we’re seeing now isn’t new. The shutdown is the new excuse. Create chaos, starve the government, and leave folks struggling while Trump’s billionaire buddies get richer.

As I've noted, central to Stephen Miller's propaganda is the claim that the Chicago complex targeted by ICE was "filled" with Tren de Aragua "terrorists."

Now @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social reports that the number of TdA members netted in that raid is down to *one.*
