Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Federal judges order administration to pay SNAP benefits but what's next remains unclear

Two federal judges ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funding to provide SNAP benefits. But it's unclear how much, or when, those funds would be provided before the funding runs dry.

Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao are close by with plenty of Americans. Their beaches will suffer from fallout in the ocean.

While we are outraged about Trump posting pictures of his desecration of Lincoln's bedroom bathroom, let's not forget that Americans should have been more outraged about these pictures from Trump's bathroom in Florida.

To make the Lincoln bathroom more "appropriate for the Lincoln era", he appears to have tossed the vintage flushometer valve water closet and replaced it with a generic lower mid-range toilet available at Home Depot (Kohler Highline).

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:

1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad

Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

SNAP benefits are about to expire for millions.

Health insurance costs are about to skyrocket for millions.

Food prices are rising.

The government has been shut down for 25 days.

What is Trump focused on?

Tearing down a section of the White House to make way for a billionaire-funded ballroom.
