It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Stephen Miller is a corrupt loser with a microphone and a Napoleon complex. He’s also basically running the government.

Practically speaking, almost everyone reading this will live to see 79 year-old, dementia-ridden, heartless, soulless Donald Trump be buried. If that helps you get through your day, I'll have done my job.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

According to Google, that is pretty much the definition of tyranny. Where is the NRA? How about all those 2A purists claiming their right to own assault rifles to defend themselves against tyranny?

“Hard on crime”- as long as it’s not his crime. Bold move pardoning criminals so we can keep arresting them, continue to see them cosplaying ICE, and employing them to advise Bondi.

They didn’t stop being rapists just because Epstein “died” they’ve got new channels to get young girls I’m sure and it’s still happening and nobody is doing anything

Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight.

That is not a foundation of our democracy.

James Comey is not a GNAT to be gotten rid of.

Trump’s turned the DOJ into a revenge machine — staging show trials through Pam Bondi and a beauty-pageant lawyer. This isn’t law & order. It’s a dictator auditioning for absolute power. ⬇️

Trump’s Political Persecution of Comey is Flagrant Criminal Abuse of Power

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.
