It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:

I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.

Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

Dear American farmers and SNAP recipients,

Donald Trump does not give a shit about you.

But he gave this wacko in Argentina $40 BILLION

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.

Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.

The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.

Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

If you have the stomach for it, here is the entire interview.

Not for the easily offended, or for children to listen to. I'm pretty old and tough, but it made me want to cry and vomit at the same time.

Not entirely true. Look at the Fed Reserve charts. The insane loan forgiveness and tax waivers happened under Trump. Now, corporations saw that people had $$$ and vacuumed all that up. But also supply chain disruption caused a little. Just cannot babe all blame Biden. Not accurate. Thx!

A ridiculous amount of money was “printed” in 2020, by Trump and Congress, too. You cannot honestly only try to pin this on Biden. Actually the federal government drove the fiscal bus off the cliff in 2017 with Trump tax cuts.

In Opinion

Adelita Grijalva won a special election in September to serve as a Democratic congresswoman. But Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in. “Such is the essence of Trumpist leadership: If you don’t support my tribe, you deserve to be ignored, even punished,” Michelle Cottle says.

Opinion | Adelita Grijalva Just Wants to Get to Work. The House Speaker Won’t Let Her.

Mike Johnson, the speaker, won’t swear in the Democratic representative-elect from Arizona.

With Donald Trump's government shutdown halting SNAP food benefits, California is stepping up.

We've fast-tracked $80 million to food banks across the state and deployed hundreds of California National Guard service members to help make sure Californians in need don't go hungry.

Grok and ChatGPT are not “intelligent”. They are a lot of math, chips, and electricity running probabilities over large amounts of written data. They scrape and steal content from many places, even from junk and copyrighted sources. For Grok, especially, “garbage in garbage out.”

Just flew in from Albuquerque and had to come down to see the White House for myself.

As our communities are facing a crisis—Trump is CHOOSING to cut off food assistance to 40 million Americans—while building a $300 million ballroom for himself.

Cruelty is the point.

I'm filing a brief in support of the case against Donald Trump's illegal tariffs now in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.

California families and businesses shouldn't pay the price for actions that Trump never had the authority to take in the first place.
