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.

We are 249 years into this experiment.

Please explain to me why we are letting Stephen Miller drive the bus off a cliff. He's a monster.

He wants a LOT of dead Americans, a police state, and a dictator. And he wants a very weak, very demented dictator.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

It's interesting that Bondi can release records of former special counsel Jack Smith, but can't release the Epstein files. It's interesting how Bondi can indict Comey for a "supposed" lie, but not indict Homan for taking $50,000. DISBAR BONDI!

I think Greta Thunberg deserves a @NobelPrize and more.
But what she really wants is an end to the starvation, maiming and killing of Gaza’s entrapped and helpless civilians, - and of course the respect and care our Earth requires

The United States is deliberately coordinating efforts to protect the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. It's being coordinated and directed from the Oval Office.

Vermont Senator Peter Welch asks why the attorney general of the United States has zero apparent interest in figuring out what happened to the $50,000 undercover FBI agents gave border czar Tom Homan.

She... doesn't take it well.

These ICE agents aren’t actual trained law enforcement professionals. They are deputized thugs. Violent scum pulled from the J6ers,Three Percenters, and Oath Keepers. They are already so repellent that giving them the chance to physically attack people they already hate is a gift to them.

I don't get these fuckwads. ONLY Nancy Pelosi could call up the National Guard on Jan 6, but, the President can call up the National Guard wherever he wants, whenever he wants?

How about some of our press start asking about this?

Gambling regulation in Aus is a national disgrace. The govt has ignored the Murphy Report & repeatedly blocked my bill to hold gambling giants accountable. If they won’t listen to evidence, experts or the crossbench, they should at least listen to the community. #auspol #politas

This is a moment of world-historical importance:
"Renewable energy overtook coal as the world's leading source of electricity in the first half of this year - a historic first, according to new data from the global energy think tank Ember."

Renewables overtake coal as world's biggest source of electricity

Developing countries lead the historic clean energy charge but the US and EU rely more on fossil fuels than before, a think tank study shows.

One could easily be forgiven for speculating that a government that actively supports an ineffective and impotent National Anti Corruption Commission actually has something to fear from an effective anti-corruption agency

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.
