I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.

Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.

The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.

Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

And so, we will use every possible resource to expose this corruption to

Katie Johnson's full testimony of 2/11/16
YouTube video by Scott Dybiec Katie Johnson's full testimony of 2/11/16

If you have the stomach for it, here is the entire interview.

Not for the easily offended, or for children to listen to. I'm pretty old and tough, but it made me want to cry and vomit at the same time.

Not entirely true. Look at the Fed Reserve charts. The insane loan forgiveness and tax waivers happened under Trump. Now, corporations saw that people had $$$ and vacuumed all that up. But also supply chain disruption caused a little. Just cannot babe all blame Biden. Not accurate. Thx!

A ridiculous amount of money was β€œprinted” in 2020, by Trump and Congress, too. You cannot honestly only try to pin this on Biden. Actually the federal government drove the fiscal bus off the cliff in 2017 with Trump tax cuts.

Opinion | Adelita Grijalva Just Wants to Get to Work. The House Speaker Won’t Let Her. Mike Johnson, the speaker, won’t swear in the Democratic representative-elect from Arizona.

In Opinion

Adelita Grijalva won a special election in September to serve as a Democratic congresswoman. But Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in. β€œSuch is the essence of Trumpist leadership: If you don’t support my tribe, you deserve to be ignored, even punished,” Michelle Cottle says.

With Donald Trump's government shutdown halting SNAP food benefits, California is stepping up.

We've fast-tracked $80 million to food banks across the state and deployed hundreds of California National Guard service members to help make sure Californians in need don't go hungry.

Grok and ChatGPT are not β€œintelligent”. They are a lot of math, chips, and electricity running probabilities over large amounts of written data. They scrape and steal content from many places, even from junk and copyrighted sources. For Grok, especially, β€œgarbage in garbage out.”

Grokipedia Is the Antithesis of Everything That Makes Wikipedia Good, Useful, and Human Grokipedia is not a 'Wikipedia competitor.' It is a fully robotic regurgitation machine designed to protect the ego of the world’s wealthiest man.

Grokipedia is not a 'Wikipedia Competitor.' It is the antithesis of Wikipedia in every possible way, and it is not going to work:

Rep. Stansbury: Families are about to lose their food assistance
YouTube video by Rep. Melanie Stansbury Rep. Stansbury: Families are about to lose their food assistance

Just flew in from Albuquerque and had to come down to see the White House for myself.

As our communities are facing a crisisβ€”Trump is CHOOSING to cut off food assistance to 40 million Americansβ€”while building a $300 million ballroom for himself.

Cruelty is the point.

I'm filing a brief in support of the case against Donald Trump's illegal tariffs now in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.

California families and businesses shouldn't pay the price for actions that Trump never had the authority to take in the first place.

How about raising taxes to generate $1T more federal revenue and also finding $500B of waste, fraud, reduction of excess subsidies and credits, and increased efficiency. The deficits cannot continue.

Congress and DC could do more here to mandate all telecoms to stop allowing and profiting off of all the scamming calls and texts. I was aware that Starlink became and was the connection to the world for these Chinese mafia-run, Myanmar-based scam factories. More can be done: Verizon, AT&T, Google
