Raths

In the saga involving Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to swear in newly elected Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva from AZ, a new and forceful development.

It's been 22 days, and Johnson is focused on priorities other than working families. A true dereliction of duty!

A U.S. family with a trans and a nonbinary child just got preliminary asylum in Canada. Asylum. From here. The “land of the free”. That’s how broken this country is. We used to take in the persecuted, now we are the threat people are fleeing. And the world knows it.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired Joseph Tirrell, the Justice Department’s senior ethics attorney, a military veteran who spent nearly two decades serving his country in and out of uniform.

What we learned yesterday.

The Times They Are a-Changin'

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.

And get the money out

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%.

What’s next on the agenda?

To those who celebrate 🎉

Shock poll. Senator Pete Ricketts only leads challenger Dan Osborn 46% to 45% in deep red Nebraska. Moreover, Ricketts has an anemic 38% approval rating. The voters are madder than hell at Trump and his enablers in Congress. A blue wave is building up for 2026!

Join us tomorrow to stop winner-take-all! The NDP will mobilize at the Capitol as senators debate LB3, the bill to change our current and fair system of allocating our presidential electoral votes.

I guess millions of people in the streets doesn't rate an above-the-fold mention

Tim Walz: "It's not a 'woke policy' to provide food for children to get breakfast and lunch, and we get better outcomes from that. They defined things on their terms that weren't true ... we got timid."

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

They defunded schools at the same time they rolled back child labor laws…
