Epstein’s bestie is an adjudicated seditionist and accused child rapist.

Y’all have zero legitimacy.

Ro Khanna says Republicans are refusing to pay the troops because they are too busy blocking Grijalva’s swearing in to protect Trump and the Epstein files.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES‼️

This explains so much
I have to wonder how many of our elected officials are named in the files

Sounds like grounds for impeachment. What are they waiting for?

It’s been over two weeks! Swear her in! And release the Epstein files.

Screenshot of a tweet from journalist Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) on X. The tweet shows a transcript from a NEWSNATION interview with Mike Johnson. The interviewer asks why he won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva, suggesting it’s to block her vote on an Epstein discharge petition. Johnson replies that Democrats are using distractions and red herrings and says it’s only a scheduling issue that will be addressed once Democrats vote to reopen the government.

Continuation of the NEWSNATION interview transcript shared by Aaron Rupar. The interviewer points out that Republicans have been sworn in during pro forma sessions and asks why it should be different for a Democrat. Mike Johnson replies that the two Florida representatives sworn in earlier were an exception because they had flown their families in for the ceremony.

Final part of the tweet thread showing a screenshot from a NEWSNATION broadcast. The interviewer asks if Adelita Grijalva would be sworn in if she flew in her family. Mike Johnson responds that these are distractions. The split-screen broadcast shows the interviewer on the left, Mike Johnson in the center, and a clip of Adelita Grijalva speaking at a podium outdoors on the right. The headline reads: ‘WHY IT MATTERS: GRJALVA TO BE SWORN IN ONCE GOV’T REOPENED.’ A timer below shows ‘Government shutdown in 6 days.’

He lies so often to the people of the United States that it doesn’t even bother him anymore. Louisiana is going to have to deal with him and his avoidance governing. The rest of have to not fall for his B.S.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

If the Republicans won't swear her in, it's time to get a federal judge to do so. Perhaps a lawsuit in court may force them to swear her in, assuming that they will comply with the court order - or we can get a random federal judge (usually in the state that she won) to swear her in.

Perhaps Gov JB Pritzker, being equally concerned for the safety of Texans, would see the need to deploy IL NG to park their tanks on Abbot's front yard. Run their engines at night.

It seems that some of the Texas troops are missing.
