It’s been 38 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election, and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

Do your job, Speaker Johnson.

First, the GOP illegally took food and medical aid from the poorest in the world by dismantling USAID. Now they’re illegally taking food away from the poorest Americans, using food as a weapon. Some voters pretend to believe there’s no difference between the GOP and the Dems. They are wrong.

NEWS: Democrats just forced a vote to end Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration against Canada and put a stop to this asinine trade war with our neighbors to the north.

And the Senate passed it!

Doug and I are sending our love and prayers to the people of Jamaica as they recover from Hurricane Melissa. We are grateful for the first responders and everyone caring for their communities across the island.
No, we won't. I mean, we've known for a couple weeks now that SNAP benefits won't be sent out in November, and we still aren't seeing mass protests being organized over it. Where is the energy we had two weeks ago when we were slobbering over frog costumes?
That would be the responsibility of the majority party. They are the ones with the votes to decide who is Speaker. You're not going to see a different Speaker until the party in control of Congress changes. This is basic US Civics, you should know this if you follow US Politics at all.

Dear BlueSky,

Please put more cats on the discover feed.

Dear people,

Please share more pictures of your cats for the discover feed please.
It really is. Then again, they hate experience, because then they can't be entertained by Democrats playing a game they don't understand. Cause if AOC was Minority Leader, you can bet she'd listen to the internet over her own staff and colleagues, and have a judge swear in Grijalva for the likes.
The sheer ignorance, willful or not, is just astounding.

REMINDER: The elections THIS YEAR are vitally important. If there is a wipe out of the GOP in this year's election, there may be a modicum of change in the GOP for fear of losing their seats next year. GO VOTE NOW!!!
Yes, let's just have the Democrats break campaign finance laws by using that money for projects it legally can't be used for. These people are so ridiculous.

I just reskeeted dozens of Democrats talking about SNAP and resources available in their communities as well as what Dem governors are doing (BECAUSE THEY HAVE POWER).

Follow Democrats.

The Big Ugly Bill made the largest cut to SNAP in history.

Now, the administration is playing politics with these benefits.

That’s why I joined 213 House Democrats in calling on USDA to maintain funding for SNAP during the Republican shutdown.

The Republican One Big Ugly Bill cut $186 billion from SNAP.

That’s the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history.

And now the extremists want to force millions more to go hungry.

Enough.

Host: An investigation showed that ICE has detained more than 170 US citizens in recent raids. Videos show federal agents tackling people and even telling a group of Latinos, including a US citizen, they have no rights.
Also Sinema didn't face a primary cause Arizona didn't have as deep a bench yet. People think she faced someone like Katie Hobbs in that primary, no, it was Deedra Abboud, someone with no experience and was just building name recognition in that primary, and hasn't run for office since 2020.

What Trump’s health care plan means for you:

🚑 33,000+ East Valley residents seeing their coverage costs double

❤️‍🩹 Families rationing insulin and skipping trips to the doctor

🏥 Rural clinics forced to close their doors

We need to save health care.

Sen. Kelly: We should have a real negotiation about health care. Trump has spent one hour on this. How much time has he spent talking about his ballroom?
These shame chants need to start following them everywhere they go.
They are just the most adorable, from kitten to adult. This video is a true timeline cleanse everytime I see it, thank you for sharing it with us everytime you do.

Trump’s tariffs are taxes on the American people.

They're driving inflation higher and sending costs sky high for consumers and small businesses.

Congress could stop this chaos at any point, but House Republicans refuse to stand up to Trump.
Shanties! Please tell me that handle is their band name, cause I need to support them immediately!
Thanks. And now that this is happening, Im even more frustrated that the No Kings organizers continue scheduling their rallies during times that make it impossible for me, my fellow grocers, and other weekend workers from being able to attend and add our collective voices. It sucks being the help.
