It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

WE ARE FED UP! @val.sheshed.rocks · 7h

Republicans in Congress ignoring Trump’s harmful policies, ignoring the cries of their constituents, ignoring our plead to release the Epstein files, will cost each of them their seats. We’re not playing their games, we will make sure they lose their jobs. #Pinks #SheShed

They are so desperate to make Antifa a thing. Something, anything to distract from the Epstein files. Media needs to keep asking.

Noem: "These leaders in these local cities along with Pritzker and Johnson ignore what's going on or they're helping antifa cover it up."

Congress finally got Epstein’s financial records, and right after that, Speaker Mike Johnson shut the House down. The timing looks shady as hell like they don’t want anyone digging too deep or asking the wrong questions. Whether it’s coincidence or cover-up, it sure doesn’t feel like transparency.

SCOOP: Johnson closed House hours after Congress received Epstein’s financial records

The decision to shut down the House — and by extension the government — came hours after the Oversight Committee received documents from the US Treasury.

Seattle is a beautiful city with law abiding citizens. They don’t need federal law enforcement. Leave Seattle alone!

Brandi Kruse at today's "antifa violence roundtable" at the White House: "This is one of the reasons I recovered from it. By the way, it’s much better to not have TDS. I’m happier, healthier, more successful. I even think I got a little more attractive after I got rid of my Trump Derangement System"

Exactly. They're talking about extending the age to receive benefits again. If they had their way, we'd all just die before receiving any of it. I retired at 62 because they had already extended it from 65 to 67 and I didn't trust them to not do it again.

The governors of Illinois and California, as well as a number of members of Congress, are jumping up and down, warning that our democracy is in peril.

As terrifying as that prospect is, it is heartening to see some opposition leaders get loud.
