This is what democracy looks like.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

What if, when we read a book and bump up against something that makes us uncomfortable (angry, confused, upset, offended, etc) instead of demanding the author only write what is acceptable to us, we hold that discomfort with compassion and use curiosity to see what it can teach us about ourselves?

Yes. (And still getting "standoff" BS and "who will blink first" and "who will voters blame" from news.)
Trump and MAGA control the *entire* government. It's a simple fact:
- White House
- Senate
- House
- Scotus
- OMB (to the hilt)
- Every regulatory agency
They're in command. It's on them.

I do not understand why they cannot get the headlines right.
Just follow the gop playbook!
“Repubs control it all! The shutdown is on them!”
As nauseum.
Don’t lead with the nuance.

You have to hand it to the generals. Unlike so many other people in this country, they know how to conduct themselves in public. They know they are supposed to be apolitical. So they greeted Trump's political speech with silence. And you could have heard a medal drop when Pete Hegseth finished.

Netanyahu’s extremist government has halted ALL humanitarian aid into Gaza.
Starving children is a war crime.
UN leaders said: "International humanitarian law is clear: we must be allowed access to deliver vital lifesaving aid. We need to get aid in and the hostages out.”
