“Trump’s description was alarmingly delusional. What Democrats have asked for is an extension of existing insurance subsidies for Americans who receive health care coverage through the ACA. The stuff Trump attributed to Democrats in his online missive was quite bonkersand had no basis in reality.”

This is truly horrifying.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach…with Antifa."

Jeffries: “Republicans acted with great urgency to swear in two right-wing members of congress to do in the American people… What is the delay with respect to Representative-elect. Grijalva? Anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files? Inquiring minds want to know.”

That's why it's time to #ReleaseTheTrumpEpsteinFiles.

Trump won't meet w/survivors. Why?

Survivors have not been invited to testify before Congress. Why?

Mike Johnson is stalling to keep the House from voting on releasing the Epstein files. Why?

The GOP is the party of #PedophileProtectors.

Nice to see Sen. Gallego and Kelly going to bat for Adelita Grijalva, as they and everyone else should be.
Speaker Johnson is stalling her swearing-in because her vote would help finally reveal the Epstein files.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Dems are not good at picking a topic and sticking to it to make it cut through the clutter. Mainstream news will barely talk about the swearing in issue when it is a winner!

Senators have to accept such demeaning, interrupting, talking over asshole-ery from witnesses in their own committees?

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

If Republicans can casually ignore precedent, so can Democrats.

Speaker Johnson has no right to stop duly elected representatives from taking office.

Call a press conference on the capitol steps, and swear in Democratic Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva - NOW.

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.

Can we share a laugh at that old fool Senator Lindsey Graham spending his time at TODAY's Senate Judiciary hearing repeating all of the lies about Hilliary Clinton! Hilliary Clinton was VP 10 fucking years ago!

Bondi's voice is cracking answering Graham's questions, knowing Dems will ask about now!

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

Trump and Bari Weiss have now taken over CBS news. Right wing fanatic at the helm (no starvation in Gaza).

Read and weep. Anti-DEI, going for the masses. We will soon have no reliable news left. Stalinist Russia circa 2025 USA. Combine this with Larry Ellison.

Bari Weiss Named CBS News Editor-In-Chief, Solidifying Network’s Rightward Shift

Paramount, CBS’ parent company, will also acquire her publication, The Free Press, for a hefty sum.

"HOLY" MIKE JOHNSON, THE "LIMPEST DICK" IN CONGRESS, IS REFUSING TO SWEAR IN ADELITA GRIJALVA BECAUSE HE'S PROTECTING DEAR LEADER, WHO IS ON EVERY PAGE OF THE EPSTEIN FILES. RELEASE "THE FILES," YOU FUCK! I EXPLORE THIS IN TODAY'S VERY POWERFUL POST. THANK YOU FOR READING IT HERE: bit.ly/4nZc1nE

here’s a name you need to know: Adelita Grijalva.

Grijalva, a Democrat from Arizona’s 7th district, was elected to the House last week. she replaces her father, the late Raúl Grijalva. here’s a fun, awesome fact about Adelita: once sworn in, she’ll be the 218th — and deciding — vote in favor of Thomas Massie’s discharge petition to release the full Epstein Files.

so, if she was elected a week ago, why the fuck hasn’t she been sworn in yet?

I just explained why, weren’t you listening? she hasn’t been sworn in specifically because she’s the deciding vote to force the release of the Epstein Files — and Holy Mike doesn’t want any of that shit to happen.

if Grijalva were a Republican, and a reliable no vote for Massie’s petition, Holy Mike would have sworn her in the moment her plane landed in DC. but she’s not.

so, Adelita sits and waits. what’s that old saying? oh yeah: justice delayed is justice denied. release the full, unedited Epstein Files, you fucking fucks.
