Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

The 9th circuit ruled the opposite. That the president’s power is not plenary, and that it’s subject to judicial review. I wonder why they gave him a do-over. Didn’t Trump sue over an edited Harris video?

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.

American citizens are being detained & brutalized.

This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago

Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Electoral politics as we know it will not lead us out of this. We are too far gone now. Instead, we need to look at the nonviolent paths other countries followed to free themselves from authoritarian regimes. Turn off cable news, turn down social media, and pick up these roadmaps and guidebooks: 1/

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

Speaker Mike Johnson’s press conference was cut off the air by MSNBC, after he once again lied about Obamacare subsidies. Host Ana set the record straight: “Just to make sure we don’t offer misleading information ... There is no access for undocumented immigrants to get Obamacare....”

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

Don't stop searching for joy.
Track it down if you can.
Look in cluttered bookstores, movie theaters, spooky cemeteries, and mossy forests.
Take joy out for tea, adventure, and gentle mischief across the land.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro uses his popularity to come out in strong support of the 3 Democratic State Supreme Court Justices running for retention.

Also, please give @retaindonohue.bsky.social - one of the 3 Justices who happens to post regularly here - a follow for updates on this election.

Justice Christine Donohue @retaindonohue.bsky.social · 1d

We are beyond grateful for the support of our Governor, Josh Shapiro, in this race for retention! As the Governor points out, so much is at stake. Join Governor Shapiro in voting YES to retain PA Supreme Court Justices Christine Donohue, Kevin Dougherty, & David Wecht. #VoteYES ✅✅✅

Trump's hand-picked majority on the Supreme Court has abdicated their responsibility to follow the law and the Constitution and instead of acting as the highest court within our third branch of government, they have instead behaved as a rubber stamp for an unhinged authoritarian President.
