RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

Yes, it's impossible to therapy away social problems

but when society targets people, placing them under increased stress, they do need tools to help them survive and cope and reduce harm

and this is a good starting list

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I’m old enough to remember when Pam Bondi announced that she was going to release the Epstein files.

Because it was just a few months ago.

Without federal tax credits, Marylanders like Bobby could end up paying more than double for the health care they need.

The federal government must come together to ensure that federal programs and tax credits are available to every American who needs them.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

While I wholeheartedly agree that we must collectively step up, I believe the Salt March was in 1930 and independence from GB didn’t happen until after WWII. People must understand that something this many years in the making will not be stopped overnight

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Speaker Johnson has:

❌ Shut down your government
❌ Canceled all legislative business
❌ Refused to swear in Rep.-Elect Grijalva

Why? Because she’s the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
