Split poster with three photos and bold text. Top: U.S. soldier sitting with head in hands. Middle: Speaker Mike Johnson with a concerned expression. Bottom: Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump posing together. Text reads: “Why is Speaker Johnson rejecting Dem bill to pay troops during the shutdown? To pay the U.S. military, Speaker Johnson must call Congress back into session. Recalling Congress requires the Speaker to swear in new Democrat Adelita Grijalva. Grijalva’s swearing-in gives the House the 218th vote needed to release the Epstein Files! Republicans are choosing to protect pedophiles over paying our troops!” Footer label: Lincoln Square.

Random thought on hearing this -- have you EVER thought of gun control, like the rest of the world, Mississippi?

Teela @teela.bsky.social · 5h

At least four people have died after 20 people were shot during a gathering after a high school homecoming game in Mississippi

If only we had sensible gun laws😭

We Texans need the Guard here - we haven't done very well wo far with our disasters as it is - don't leave us bereft of those who are trained to help in disasters, not to shoot fellow Americans, Governor Abbott!

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 6h

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of growing wildfire threat, flood risk in Texas

With expected growing wildfire danger across Texas and the potential for a flood risk this weekend, Gov. Greg Abbott is activating more state emergency response resources Friday.

Those of us who served in the military know that dogs were some of the best partners we could ever wish for, and many were real heroes. For Kristi Noem's CBP agents to be shooting a family dog in this way -- and then leaving the scene -- is disgusting.

Today, I signed a series of bills that close gaps in maternal and prenatal care, improve health outcomes and access to child care resources, and protect vulnerable women.

Women in California deserve the services and resources they need to live full, self-determined lives.

Stephen Miller Says Trump has “Plenary Authority”. He does not. Plenary authority means ultimate authority that doesn’t answer to anyone else. Our Constitution provides for checks and balances so that no one would have that kind of authority.
