She was elected to the House a month ago. But Mike Johnson has refused to swear her in, knowing it would narrow his small majority and provide the final signature needed to force a vote on an Epstein papers resolution. Now she's suing. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/22/u...

Pro-voting groups sued Indiana over two new anti-voting laws, which were passed by GOP lawmakers under the guise of “election security.” The groups argue the laws unfairly target naturalized citizens and threaten to remove eligible voters from the rolls.

Michael Wolff described the lawsuit as both an act of necessity and principle. “Obviously I’m not going to apologize,” he said. “Oh my God. I’m not going to retract. There’s virtually nothing to retract here. The truth is that anything I have said here is mild.”
Michael Wolff Sues Melania Trump After Threat Over Epstein Reporting: ‘Someone Had to Do It’

“I am, I’m confident, the one journalist who can tell the Epstein story from the inside rather than the outside—and as millions of people calling for answers recognize, it is a vital story.” Follow @michaelwolffnyc.bsky.social on #Substack under #HOWL. Excellent articles!

Hello! California are you ready to stop the Republican power grab? Vote #YesOnProp50 stopelectionrigging.com
Yes on 50 – The Election Rigging Response Act
Trump and Texas Republicans are moving to rig the 2026 election — and other GOP states are joining in. If Californians don’t act now, they could seize Congress no matter how we vote.

I just saw a video that said cutting SNAP would lower food prices because it would cut demand.

I'm starting to think that Econ 101 either needs to be drastically overhauled or that you cannot take it unless you commit to taking four econ courses one heavily focused on externalities and elasticity.

Donald Trump and his GOP Congress' refusal to end their government shutdown is ripping food benefits from families in need across America.

California is filling the void — rushing tens of millions to food banks and directing the California National Guard to support their efforts.

Trump’s not just stealing seats he’s stealing your paycheck.

Healthcare costs +75%? That’s not inflation — that’s theft.

Prop 50 is the only legal tool to stop him before he bankrupts your family. #YesOnProp50

An important read.

More than ever, it is important to be digitally & scientifically literate. Science outlets did some "pre-bunking" before Trump's announcement of Tylenol as a cause of autism. Every action we take to prevent misinformation matters.

Okay folks, you know what to do...

The (former) East Wing is now going to be called the #EpsteinBallroom.

Or the #EpsteinTrumpBallroom, gold plated edition.

Every American flag needs to be removed from this house and this grotesque display of illegality and condemnation for America and her citizens.

The most powerful tool we have in our arsenal is our vote.

Vote #YesOnProp50, and in every special election and state Supreme Court race.
