Since the Speaker refuses to swear in Grijalva, a duly elected Member, the House can & must act:

1. Pass a resolution authorizing another Member to swear her in

2. File a Motion to Compel or censure Speaker for dereliction of duty

3. Apply public & political pressure

🔊 RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES.

IF the person you're talking takes laborers, puts them in a camp, then forces them to go back out to where they WERE laboring but are no longer being paid - you're talking to a slaver

a person who is reinstituting slavery in the united states of america in 2025

Gregg Abbott Declared War On Illinois

When a state’s army marches into another state, uninvited, armed, and there to harm, what do you call that?

A military occupation? A violation of state sovereignty? A Civil War?

An Armed Invasion?

Greg Abbott Declares Civil War On Blue States At The Behest Of Trump

Texas governor authorizes Trump to deploy 400 Guard troops into Illinois and beyond, without state consent, without precedent, and without shame.

Trump's federal agents are terrorizing communities across America, but leaders like Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are fighting back.

Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johns speaking with text: We will not tolerate ICE agents violating our residents' constitutional rights nor will we allow the federal government to disregard our local authority. ICE agents are detaining elected officials, tear-gassing protestors, children, and Chicago police officers, and abusing Chicago residents.
We will not stand for that in our city."

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?

In thirsty Reno, a crucial vote could usher in more water-guzzling data centers

A new development that initially planned to bring 5,000 new housing units to the area could soon draw sprawling data centers.

I know this sounds extreme. It is.

I know I sound overly alarmist. I don't think I am.

Trump is enacting a well thought out plan so he and his allies can rule forever.

But it's not too late to stop them. We can peacefully and forcefully mobilize now. We have the power.
