I asked Rep. Jasmine Crockett @jasmineforus.bsky.social about Speaker Mike Johnson saying he's "absolutely delighted" she's running for Senate, and comparing her to NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

She hadn't seen the clip. Here's her response.

Mike Johnson has sworn in Adelita Grijalva, ending the 50 day standoff that left her unable to represent 800K Arizonans in DC amid the shutdown.

Standing ovations from Dems, empty GOP seats - what it was like in the chamber & what it means for Epstein files:

First-term congresswoman @replamonica.bsky.social is facing a Trump DOJ prosecution & risks 17 years in prison. I talked with her as a judge weighs whether her case should proceed.

“I’m a mom, I’m a wife, I have a family, and I don’t want to be in jail."

The shutdown is entering its second week. Federal workers are about to begin missing paychecks.

But lawmakers are not on the same page.

Is politics worth it?

Young people in office tell me they worry that for their generation, the answer, increasingly… is no.

Their accounts of terrifying threats and online abuse evoke questions about how political life can be made safer & more sustainable.

Sen. Bernie Sanders responded to Democratic voters' anger toward party leaders in an interview on Thursday. At his rallies, Sanders lays out a vision of uniting people across parties against oligarchy, but many in his audience are angry Democrats who want to hear their party's plan to fight Trump.

I talked to voters at a packed rally for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in Las Vegas on March 20.

They demanded that Democratic leaders stand up to President Trump.
