Mike Johnson said he would swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva "as soon as she wants." His office then backtracked — saying Johnson would only swear in the duly elected Grijalva once the government reopens. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago.

The Senate Republican budget is immoral. It allows health care cuts that will raise monthly costs for millions of Americans.

I cannot vote for legislation that allows working people to lose their health care.

WTAF seriously, arresting our Navajo brother and sisters. Not accepting their IDs! I know it’s gonna get worse, but I just can’t believe this bullshit keeps happening.

Ice agents are detaining Navajo citizens and refusing to recognize their tribal IDs. This is an erasure of identity and an attack on tribal sovereignty. This is absolutely unacceptable. 🤬

ICE really needs to reined in.

but with SS Miller in charge of immigration control policy and cosplaying Kristi Noem complicit, this is unlikely.

it's up to us. #resist.

For Trump & Republicans so loved the Lord & the teachings of Christ that they command His called representatives to be shot in the face

ICE attacking Christians should get amplified to the same level as post Kirk shooting outrage. We can't mildly repost their arrests for sex crimes with children or attacks like this. We need to put the effort in and consume social media with it.
