Back on April 2, Speaker Johnson swore in 2 House Republicans - during a pro forma session - who were elected the day before. Anyone who says Adelita Grijalva D-AZ can only be sworn in when the House is back and voting is lying to you.

MCU movies vs Autism diagnosis rates. Correlation does not equal causation. But autism is a super power. 🤔

Graph depicting the Marvel Cinema Universe cumulative movies versus Autism Diagnosis prevalence per 1,000 8 year olds from 2008 to 2022.

Jigsaw Puzzles? I once gifted an advent calendar where they put together puzzles each day. Got it off Amazon.

Today was my last day as a federal employee, but tomorrow I and my new partner, Ginger Quintero-McCall, open a new law practice, the Free Information Group. We are both FOIA lawyers, and we are very good at suing the government. 1/

Think of it as an episode of Hoarders. It’s overwhelming. But just pick a corner and start cleaning.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

This is how the Japanese army was trained prior to the ending of WWII. Fear and abuse, and it went down the line to the lowest level who then treated prisoners of war with worse behavior. Look up the Bataan Death March.

Hegseth: "Basic training is being restored to what it should be -- scary, tough, and disciplined. We're empowering drill sergeants to instill healthy fear in new recruits, ensuring that future warfighters are forged ... they can put hands on recruits."

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Don’t forget all the money laundering you need to do too as a typical American citizen.
