You couldn’t be more full of 💩 than you are right here. You’re asked about her all the time and you two were close friends for well over a decade at least. Either you’ve lost your mind or you’re lying. Which is it?? You’ve even said you have the power to pardon her in the last couple of months 🤡

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

It’s been over two weeks! Swear her in! And release the Epstein files.

Screenshot of a tweet from journalist Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) on X. The tweet shows a transcript from a NEWSNATION interview with Mike Johnson. The interviewer asks why he won’t swear in Adelita Grijalva, suggesting it’s to block her vote on an Epstein discharge petition. Johnson replies that Democrats are using distractions and red herrings and says it’s only a scheduling issue that will be addressed once Democrats vote to reopen the government.

Continuation of the NEWSNATION interview transcript shared by Aaron Rupar. The interviewer points out that Republicans have been sworn in during pro forma sessions and asks why it should be different for a Democrat. Mike Johnson replies that the two Florida representatives sworn in earlier were an exception because they had flown their families in for the ceremony.

Final part of the tweet thread showing a screenshot from a NEWSNATION broadcast. The interviewer asks if Adelita Grijalva would be sworn in if she flew in her family. Mike Johnson responds that these are distractions. The split-screen broadcast shows the interviewer on the left, Mike Johnson in the center, and a clip of Adelita Grijalva speaking at a podium outdoors on the right. The headline reads: ‘WHY IT MATTERS: GRJALVA TO BE SWORN IN ONCE GOV’T REOPENED.’ A timer below shows ‘Government shutdown in 6 days.’

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

Why has the media become so vulnerable to Trump, and what can we do about it?

Why has the media become so vulnerable to Trump, and what can we do about it?

Even after Disney's reversal on Jimmy Kimmel, the vulnerability remains — unless we change the rules.

"The only issue is whether SCOTUS will allow the president to lie that there is an insurrection, then use his own patently false proclamation to justify flooding American cities with soldiers to 'fight crime.' Considering the recent behavior of SCOTUS's 6 conservative justices, the vibes are rancid"

Trump is the insurrection

And the Supreme Court's conservatives are his shock troops.

The Trump administration is trying to make Portland seem like it's mayhem.

But if you ask the people who live there? They'll tell you it's the administration causing the problems.

As I've said before: we got us.

The Advantage program was a lifeline for New Yorkers like Kasha, a working mom struggling to get out of a shelter and into stable housing.

But when then-Gov. Cuomo slashed funding, homelessness surged.

These are political choices. We can choose differently.
