Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.” The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.” The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

BREAKING NEWS EXCLUSIVE: Epstein Survivors Send Letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson Demanding that Adelita Grijalva is Sworn In. I just received this letter from survivors of child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein demanding that House Speaker Mike Johnson immediately swear in Arizona representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

More than a dozen Epstein survivors, along with the family of Virginia Guiffre, send a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson demanding he call the House back into session and swear in Adelita Grijalva.

Meiselas: His latest number has gone up to $22 trillion that he says he’s brought into the United States.

Pocan: Clearly this number just seems to run inverse to the weight that he claims he actually is. I think he said 230. And that number keeps going down, and this number keeps going up.

Tick-Tock, Mike

Genuine apologies. I don't mean to be disrespectful. But I don't know who this woman is. I believe she is a Fox News host, but when I Googled "woman Fox News host," everyone looked the same. So I don't know this person's name. Anyway, the photo shows a blonde woman wearing a checked sport coat and white shirt standing next to John Fetterman, who's wearing a dumpy black work shirt.

Victor Shi posts: “This was published one year ago. Everything is right.” The image shows a New York Times Sunday Opinion page with bold black text reading: “DONALD TRUMP SAYS HE WILL PROSECUTE HIS ENEMIES, ORDER MASS DEPORTATIONS, USE SOLDIERS AGAINST CITIZENS, ABANDON ALLIES, PLAY POLITICS WITH DISASTERS. BELIEVE HIM.”

It was never “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It was also a clear warning of what was to come.

Me too 👇🏼

If there is anyone who sees this who is going to be short on groceries/food this month because of the Republicans shutting down SNAP, please DM me

I will be more than happy to send you a food gift card this month—all private, of course.

Tell Congress: Urge Speaker Johnson to swear in Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva Contact Congress today!

Today's Rep.-Elect Adelita Grijalva's birthday! You know what would be a great present--contacting your Senators and Reps demanding she gets sworn in! Do it here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

🚨FIX IT. THEN PUNISH.

No more going high. Those days are over.

If we ever win the presidency again, we must punish Republicans throughout the country.

Send troops into their states. Arrest rich people just for being rich. Fuck the rules.

I know here in America we tend to focus on the genocides that our tax dollars inevitably pay for.

However, we really need to pay attention to the genocide happening in Sudan, too.

So many murdered on Sunday that you can see the blood-drenched sands from space.

Literally.

From SPACE.

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

King Charles III has begun the process to neuter his brother Andrew, the stautory rapist formerly known as a Prince & Duke

While back in the USA, Senator John Thune & Speaker Mike Johnson and their MAGA GOP colleagues in Congress are complicit in Trump'e Epstein Cover-Up

Shame on Republicans!

While neither man is in jail, as they both should be, at least the UK took steps to penalize a child rapist, Prince Andrew, I mean, Mr. Windsor, whereas the United States continues to protect one, Donald Trump.

We must not allow a decades-long drug abusing dark tetrad to 'test' nuclear weapons under any conditions.

Nothing says 'good Christian' like taking food out of children's mouths while you're firing up the nukes.

Homeland Security cracks down on undocumented truck drivers Since September, 223 undocumented immigrant drivers have been arrested in Indiana as part of Operation Midway Blitz

WOW: More than 220 immigrant drivers have been arrested in Indiana by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. That means 220 truck loads of goods from food to medicine to auto parts to toys are now sitting in a federal depot and businesses are missing goods. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban.

It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

Next time a Republican claims this is a “Democrat Shutdown,” they should be reminded that Russell Vought, the president’s top budget adviser, encouraged the GOP in Congress to shut down the government because it’s easier to dismantle the government when it is closed. He's on record liking shutdowns.

To this day I’m haunted by what could have been. This clip describes a missed opportunity, but I couldn’t do it alone. Be sure to get The Last Republican on demand now!

I never gossip. Except to save a soul. Or a conversation. So you won't catch me repeating the rumors about JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

Screenshot of letter

The pedophile formerly known as Prince Andrew has been officially evicted from his Windsor mansion today. Hopefully tomorrow will find him living in public housing with a crackhead peeing through his mail slot.

Recall when we had a president who was a decent human being? Seems so remote and novel now.

Not too sure MAGA Mike is going to like this new national ad buy from the DCCC

Cute light beige dog dressed as a Halloween ghost.

Even winning this year’s Halloween costume prize couldn’t ease Carol’s existential ennui. “Another October, another ghost, another shiny prize. Maybe a pig’s ear would cheer me. Ah nuts, who am I kidding.”

Through @caloes.bsky.social, I'm deploying highly trained @lacofd.bsky.social Urban Search and Rescue teams to Jamaica to help reach victims of Hurricane Melissa.

California stands ready to help when disaster strikes — at home or abroad.
