Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

It's the classic authoritarian playbook: smear your opponents with baseless lies so that you can try to shut down peaceful, organized dissent.

We won't be intimidated. We won't be cowed. We won't bow down.

No Kings.

Men who fetishize having a "traditional woman" and obsess over women being modest, obedient, quiet, submissive and homemakers are walking red flags.

What they mean is they want a slave, a free SW, and someone to baby them. They want free labor.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

If this bill passes, it’s safe to assume that “conservative” is just a cutesy way to say “it’s ok for the government to go into debt to kill people, but not to keep them alive.”

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

“'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.'

*More of this, please*"

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a rancid bigot.

Here’s the thing about #Juneteenth:

It is the only Holiday recognizing that freedom and democracy take ongoing effort and dedication.

Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation occurred more than two years before being enforced in Texas.

A good lesson in these difficult times.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · Jun 19

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.
