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.

Now that Trump has literally said, word for word, "We took the freedom of speech away." What will the MAGA cope be?

James @hopefulmillennial.bsky.social · 22h

Lol if Trump won a peace prize, the award would lose all prestige immediately and become meaningless.

James @hopefulmillennial.bsky.social · 23h

I fucking hope this is true. I hope these cowards finally grow some nuts.

One day, the history books will remember Trump, MAGA, ICE, and the rest of the evil sycophants, and the citizens who voted for/supported this tyranny as the villains they are.

That gives me a bit of peace.

You’d think that, with all his money, he could’ve hired someone to tutor him on the Constitution and checks and balances…

I hope John Fetterman watched the Pam Bondi hearing today and felt good about his vote to confirm her.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Developing: Trump considering $10 billion bailout for farmers he singularly drove into poverty by taking away their biggest customers and markets.

No hyperbole here. He started the fire and now he’s giving them a cup of water to put it out.

And of course, he expects them to thank him for it.

This is literally exactly what Stephen Miller has been asking for openly. This is what he's been commanding the cultists to do.

1/3 🧵I’ll tell you the most calming thing I know to tell you: all that horrible stuff you think about that Trump might do, that scares the shit out of you? Yeah. Go ahead and embrace the fact that a lot of it will probably happen. Why. 1st, it’s already happening…now. 2nd…

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

OrangeBoy is literally threatening to cut people's "benefits" as a punishment for the government shutdown. Literally just openly threatening harm Americans. Anyone who still backs this fucker needs to do some deep, deep soul searching... because you're broken.

Whatever Speaker Johnson says:

He sent the House home for YET ANOTHER WEEK because he cares more about protecting the Epstein files than he does about protecting the American people.

“Portland is burning to the ground. It’s insurrectionists all over the place. It’s ANTIFA.”

-Donald Trump, earlier today.

He’s getting much closer to invoking the Insurrection Act.

I start a new job tomorrow, and it's nerve wracking.

The most nerve wracking part is I've been a fully remote employee for about 2 years, and I'm going back to being an in office employee.

I hope the extra $$$ is worth it lol

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.
