Because they know it’s coming!

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

And an incompetent smug Secretary of Defense!

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

When even Marjorie Taylor Greene jumps ship on health care, you know the regime’s rot runs deep. Authoritarians don’t care if you can see a doctor…they care that you obey. Power first. People last.

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school.

Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

Mike Johnson is keeping the House in recess not just next week but the week after that as well. Sure, the shutdown has something to do with it. But, also, he doesn't have to confirm Adelita Grijalva as long as the House is not in session which delays voting on releasing the Epstein files.

These so-called "DEMOCRAT AGENCIES"...

-Ensure our food is safe to eat
-Keep our air and water clean
-Alert us to natural disasters
-Protect us from financial fraud and scammers

Remember what Trump is actually attacking.

After hearing the Howard Lutnick interview on EPSTEIN, it is seeming more likely that the Trump shutdown is a diversion from whatever is in those files.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!

Don’t think he even knows the difference anymore.

It’s fake unless it’s in their favor of course🤡

Rep. Rich McCormick dismisses a Washington Post poll showing Americans are blaming Republicans for the shutdown: "Polling is not very accurate because the pollsters generally get out of it what they want. I don't trust those polls."

I'm asking YOU:

What will a doubling of health care premiums mean for your family?

What it will mean if you're one of the 15 million being thrown off their health care?

Couldn’t agree more 👏🏼

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 6d

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

This is illegal, and yes this is the same guy who claimed he'd never heard of Project 2025. But there's a larger point to make here about public service. No one who wins elected office wins 100% of the vote. But everyone who holds public office represents 100% of their electorate.

Angus: American farmers who bought into Trump, thinking tariffs would help them—their markets are gone. Canada’s not making noise about it; we’re just moving in. Canadian corn is now being sold in Ireland, Spain, and the UK. Those used to be guaranteed American markets. Not anymore.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."
