Since the Speaker refuses to swear in Grijalva, a duly elected Member, the House can & must act:

1. Pass a resolution authorizing another Member to swear her in

2. File a Motion to Compel or censure Speaker for dereliction of duty

3. Apply public & political pressure

🔊 RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

It doesn’t matter what we think, believe or do as NO ONE in power in our federal government has a spine to stand up to this anarchy.

It’s really a sad commentary on our country that “fact-based journalism“ is even a thing. Pandering and lies have caused such erosion of public trust

Next step is he’ll try to extort Illinois

Religions are not made the same. Christian nationalism is a white supremest cult. The KKK were that. Hate and take away rights are their primary goal. We have too many GOP who are in it. ICE are that. Killing innocent people are that. Follow and speak up.
