Exactly! We need to start behaving like bosses. ALL OF THE HOUSE DEMOCRATS NEED TO STEP UP AND WELCOME ADELITA TO THE CHAMBER AND TO HER OFFICE. Stop waiting for Mikey Mini Johnson. Give up on swearing in ceremonies. ETTD.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

When I moved to Tucson, I pronounced everything wrong. I could always tell because people would look at me odd. Like, "Help a girl out and just say it right!" I just needed some help, thats all.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

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

Thank you guys! Everyone needs to keep up the pressure. Mikey Mini Johnson can't be allowed to hold up a merely ceremonial swearing in of Adelita Grijalva. Get it done so she can join the House voting ranks of Democratic legislators.

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Gallego: This is an excuse

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

We can hope that she receives many punishments on earth and in an underworld. But we must push forward with love and kindness because this is what we can do every moment of every day, everywhere.

I am so proud of Fairbanks, AK! All of us need to take our governments back from the liars that steal from us and support the superwealthy. Push back against the robberbarons.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.
