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.

I received a mail-in ballot yesterday. Turns out it was a Yes/No vote on a tax increase.

Dammit I wanted to vote against Repugnicans, but I guess I did by voting no on the increase. Just wasn't personal enough to be satisfying tho.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
