ICYMI: Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in democratically elected Rep Adelita Grijalva. Why? She’s promised to be the tie-breaking signature to force the House to vote on releasing the Epstein files. We’re on the side of democracy and accountability. Swear. Her. In.
Speaker Johnson said he’d swear in new House Democrat ‘as soon as she wants.’ Now Republicans are backtracking | CNN Politics

Hey America,

can anyone explain to me why Qatar needs a military base in IDAHO ?

That grin should give you something to think about . . .

I’m sure Russ Vought’s latest mass firings of federal workers will help Republican Winsome Earl-Sears in her race for VA governor in a few weeks.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.
Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.
Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

Donald Trump just got a COVID booster at Walter Reed, per the White House physician.

Let’s be clear this is the same guy who downplayed the virus, mocked masks, and turned lifesaving vaccines into a political wedge that cost hundreds of thousands of lives.

The cruelty is the point.

CDFIs help low-income and rural communities get access to capital to start small businesses – a broadly bipartisan priority.

This administration wants to make it impossible for low- and middle-income Americans to get ahead.

Mike Johnson is so desperate to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance costs hikes that he keeps canceling House business so the GOP can hide.

Let’s keep the pressure on Republicans to stop hiding and end the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

They shut down the government with a partisan plan that has us barreling toward a national health care crisis — and they won't even come to the table.

Oh, and House Republicans have been on a paid vacation for weeks. They just don't give a damn about anyone other than their billionaire buddies.

Republicans are lying about the peaceful No Kings Day protests because they’re desperate — the GOP is losing the shutdown fight while Americans reject Trump’s authoritarian takeover in huge numbers.

I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.
