@adelitaforcongress.bsky.social was elected by the people of #AZ07 over a week ago, but Mike Johnson has refused to swear her into Congress.

Now, AZ-07 is going without a voice during the government shutdown – because Johnson knows she’ll be the deciding vote to unseal the Epstein Files.

honestly beginning to think we should encourage them to leave the union

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup.

It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Cornelius Vanderbilt

In the 1830s, Cornelius Vanderbilt told New York officials he would pull every ferry off the Hudson if they didn’t hand him a monopoly. Once he had it, he set prices as he pleased.

As he put it: "What do I care about the law? Hain’t I got the power?"

How Portland did it

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

i understand why you believe that but i choose to hope that we can and will.

Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move.

1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.

This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Republicans don’t have the votes to stop release of the Epstein files, so they’re going to shut down the government to stop the truth from coming out.

Outrageous.
