No Dem votes on anything until she is sworn in.

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

Pritzker on Consider This earlier:

"There's some sort of dementia going on, and he just keeps repeating things from years gone by."

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

From The Telegraph, re: Maxwell/Trump:
"The pair were regular fixtures in the elite Manhattan and Palm Beach social scenes, attending the same parties at private clubs and on million-dollar yachts."

You're the Speaker of the House of Representatives, doing nothing while a Mad King steals your constitutional authority & violates the law every day.

Also, you control a majority in Congress & can't keep the government open.

Also, stop lying in front of microphones every day.

Mike Johnson: "We said, 'don't sit on your couch and play video games'- by the way, also not a talking point. There was an AEI study, I think one of the organizations that polled this, and most of these young men who are not working are sitting around literally playing video games. Get back to work"

Trump sending the military to cities he doesn’t like is reckless, authoritarian, and against our American values.

We must continue to call out Trump’s abuse of power. This is not normal.

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.

Text card: Listen for dangerous words.
Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

They just want to get footage of people who don't look like Trumpers getting hog tied and worse, so they can scare their base, "the Heartland" into thinking that they have to shred our Constitution. Wait until these folks learn the hard way that no one is safe. NO ONE.
