This is the second time in weeks that a political opponent of Trump has been indicted, at his urging, against the advice of career prosecutors and Trump's own appointees. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Huge, huge swathes of *Trump voters* will effectively have no health care available except for emergency ER.

It is simultaneously a) the worst way to maintain public health and b) the most *expensive* way to do it.

Idiocy from moral degenerates. That's our country now.

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

🛑 Jack Ciattarelli didn’t flinch when democracy was under attack Jan 6. He didn’t condemn the violence nor the lies that fueled it. Instead, he stood by Trump, echoed his rhetoric & refused to hold him accountable. Ciattarelli doubled down. That’s dangerous, not principled #VoteNJ for Mikie Sherrill
