Earlier this year, Speaker Johnson swore in two Republicans less than 24 hours after their elections.

It’s been 17 days since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election, and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

She would be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

We miss you, Joe!

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Happy anniversary to the day Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Somewhere, Trump is rage-Googling “how to win Nobel without doing peace.”

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

This pisses me off quite a lot.

Democrats are rejecting a 7-week “band-aid” that delays the fight—because waiting means 20M face higher premiums ＆ 15M could lose Medicaid.

Better to fight now than abandon families later.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Agreed! We had to move to NC from western NY for my hubby’s job, and I just hate the muggy heat! Among other things…

Sunrise over post apocalypse cityscape This long national nightmare Will soon come to an end It won't be tomorrow Or the day after But we all must unite Against this fsscist regime A small battle was won When we forced Disney to retreat More battles are ahead We may not win them all But the prize at the end Is our sanity and freedom

Nice Into The Woods reference!

Grocery prices rise at the fastest pace since 2022 as Trump tariffs bite On the campaign trail, Trump promised lower grocery prices.

Trump campaigned on lowering grocery prices. All major grocery categories are now more expensive than they were a year ago.

Just… 🤮🤮🤮

So after days of Republicans blaming and vilifying Democrats and trans people for Kirk’s murder despite having no clue who the person was, we find out it’s a white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loved guns.

Funny how ‘Hang Mike Pence’ was just ‘political rhetoric.’

Call Charlie Kirk divisive and suddenly free speech has limits.👇

Disgusting.

The president had a chance to be a leader. To console the nation. To lower the temperature.

Nope. He can’t do it.

Bring back slapping people with a dead fish
