Earlier this year, Speaker Johnson swore in two Republicans less than 24 hours after their elections.

It’s been 17 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election, and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Virginia resident calls out Speaker Johnson on air:

As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you. You do have the power to call the House back. You refused to do that just for a show.

They are trying to start a war. Donald Trump and ICE are using federal money to go to war with America. This won't end well.

They are TRYING to get protesters to turn violent. We can’t allow this to happen. Protest leaders and community organizers need to make sure we don’t take this bait. Stay positive stay strong stay peaceful

Pressed on possibly suspending habeas corpus, Trump said he’d leave it up to Kristi Noem.

Among the problems: Noem has already made clear that she has no idea what habeas corpus is. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump’s line on possibly suspending habeas corpus goes from bad to worse

The president said he’d leave the future of habeas corpus up to Kristi Noem, who recently made clear that she didn’t know what habeas corpus was.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.
