Mike, the level of #MAGA officials’ political chicanery has reached the level of the absurd. In what other time would your lawlessness be tolerated? You are desecrating the America we love. #Trump will not protect you forever. You will face justice in courts.

#Trump’s habit of pardoning and hiring suspected or convicted law offenders shows that his moral compass is significantly out of whack. Why does he gravitate toward sex offenders, liars and rioters?

Bravo! I was born in Nebraska but I am easily identified as Hispanic. They beat you up first and ask questions later. I have severe spine issues and I weigh 92 pounds. I can’t afford to take on #ICE.

In fairness, I rephrased the message I quoted. However, thank you! I am not in it for the bullshit and in these times I am risking my freedom to stand up against a tyrant. I already feel at risk as a Democratic second-generation Mexican American. I carry my “papers” everywhere. 🙏🏼

You are right, of course. One can hope some mother-figure would read his mail to him. But that’s a long shot.

Broaden your political outlook to be better able to see trouble coming.

I think many of us don't reach outside of our networks far enough to see what's going on before it gets to us. Take that time and do that today okay. The 92% doesn't reach backwards ever. we learned a long time ago that's how you get killed

The VA funding is shutdown as well! Putting a squeeze on many of us!

I am 65 years old, disabled, with little money to cover expenses. I depend on #SNAP benefits for food, one of our most basic human needs. I have received notice that November payments are on hold because of the government shutdown. Meanwhile Congress vacations. Thanks, @JDVance!

I am 70 and in exactly the same position, but no letter since I'm in Michigan. This is a plan to push people to the brink and if that's what they want maybe that's what they should get

I never thought America would get so officially ugly. They do want to push us to our brink, but only to rationalize declaring Martial Law and rescinding our rights and voting powers. We are in serious trouble.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Mr. Trump, respectfully, what about giving millions of our tax dollars to Argentina, and what about denying health care to millions show that you are interested in the welfare of the people you promised to govern? And remember the farms destroyed by tariffs.
