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.

MSNBC is reporting that the DOJ is seeking an indictment of John Bolton.

I can’t stand that guy, and still: THIS IS SO WRONG.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

The Peruvian Congress just impeached and removed their president, which their constitution allows for on grounds of “permanent moral incapacity.”

The same thing happened to her predecessor, who was impeached and removed for attempting to seize control of Congress and the judiciary.

ICE agents tried using the Azteca de Oro parking lot in Joliet as a staging area—owner Ivette Nunez called the cops, cited her no-trespassing rule, and boom—minutes later, the agents were gone. Proof that a firm “not on my property” still works.
