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.

Where has MTG been?
Her party has made Health Ins a Priority.
That is Why it Costs So Much.
'Raising' the price till the program folds, is a GOP Objective.
Twisting the words to make sound the opposite is BS.

"For the first time since the civil rights era, the president of the United States is sending in troops over the objection of a local state. The big difference between now and the civil rights era is that the president is doing that based on their desire for power only."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Republicans have created a health care crisis. Congress must act to save health care for millions of Americans.

Before working moms go broke from a cancer diagnosis.

Before community hospitals are forced to shut down.

Before your neighbor with the home health aide loses his care.

I believe the Texicans have landed in IL.
I guess they will burn the soybean fields Trump's Trade Wars have caused to rot in ground, unsold.
They march on Cook County.

"This is where we’ve been headed since Jan. 6.

The man who fomented an actual insurrection will invent a fantasy insurrection to justify overturning the rule of law & deploying the military against civilians.

The thing about Rubicons is they can’t be uncrossed."

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
