Itโ€™s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because sheโ€™s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

How out of touch can Donald Trumpโ€™s top economic adviser be?

A 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR.

TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isnโ€™t tax cuts for the rich. Itโ€™s investment in our people โ€” in health care, infrastructure and education โ€” to build a strong middle class.ย 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.ย 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1M to Trump's super PAC in April.

What happened next?

Three weeks later Trump pardoned her son, a nursing home executive who pleaded guilty to withholding millions from his workers' paychecks (while buying a luxury yacht).

Everything is for sale.

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check.

Thatโ€™s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.

If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, weโ€™d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

blood bag, ultrasound picture, chart up all in black and red tones.

Striking. After Texas banned abortion, ER visits for early miscarriage rose 25% and blood transfusions surged 54%.

Doctors delayed care like D&Cs out of fear of prosecution. More women nearly bled to death. buff.ly/egXhmm7

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

The difference between the interactions Texans have had with FEMA before and are having [or failing to have] now won't go unnoticed.

This is the sort of thing that makes people furious...even the ones who think they are apolitical.

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

If someone doesnโ€™t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

CALL NOW: Tell Your Republican Representative to Oppose Trump's Medicaid-Slashing, Billionaire-Enriching Megabill

Republicans in the House are trying to ram through a bill that would make most Americans poorer so billionaires can get a tax cut.

Don't let them get away with it.

Call your reps right now. indivisible.org/resource/cal...
