If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work.
He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation.
They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

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.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.
Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

It’s amazing how quickly this administration has shattered trust in our government institutions and our democratic guardrails, this time around.

In light of us all witnessing this galvanizing moment for the right, following Charlie Kirk’s death, I thought I’d share this thread again. I wrote it right after the election last November.

This is what we see Republicans doing all the time. They gaslight people into believing if something heinous and harmful is said in a calm measured tone, it equates to being civil - it’s just a different political opinion.
No, it’s inflicting damage and trauma with a smile. That’s what Kirk did.

Trump is scared that he will lose the US House in the 2026 elections, due to red seats in blue states flipping to blue. He needs a Governor, State House and Senate all willing to completely kiss the ring and make it happen via redistricting.
Enter Texas.

Why Redistrict Texas? And Why Now?
It’s not because Greg Abbott is scared
