This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

'She blew it': Ex-GOP analyst shreds Pam Bondi over 'venomous' Senate hearing A former Republican strategist and staunch critic of President Donald Trump shredded Attorney General Pam Bondi's "venomous" appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday in a new essay....

"Today’s. . .performance . . .was. . .a MAGA striptease dance of performative outrage and imaginary grievance where facts went to die and the only rule is 'Never let the truth stand in the way of fellating Trump’s revenge fantasies and galactic ego. . ." www.rawstory.com/pam-bondi-26...

Trump is causing ‘chaos’ as pretext for invoking Insurrection Act, JB Pritzker says President has not ruled out invoking Insurrection Act but ‘so far it hasn't been necessary’

Felon is trying to create chaos in blue cities to rationalize use of Insurrection Act. No federal court will ever agree if cities remain peaceful in their constant NONVIOLENT RESISTANCE. Remember John Lewis and Dr. King!!

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

But I thought if you smeared someone and they were then the victim of violence, that meant you had to be fired from your job.

Or does Fox News only think that applies to teachers?

LUTNICK, EPSTEIN’S FORMER NEIGHBOR:
"I say to him, 'Massage table in the middle of your house? How often do you have a massage?'" Lutnick said. "And he says, 'Every day [so that no one else hears] and the right kind of massage’."

TRUMP TO EPSTEIN:
“. . . may every day be another wonderful secret."

Wrote this thread about Greta Thunberg, not so long ago. How she went from liberal meaningless climate activism, to actually understanding that climate change isn't the problem, it's a symptom of the problem. The problem is capitalism, white supremacy, and imperialism.

For God’s Sake, Democrats: Don’t Cave They’re widely, and rightly, perceived as weak. The shutdown fight is their chance to shock us for a change.

U.S. District Judge Immergut has just barred Trump's attempt to sidestep her restraining order by sneaking in federalized National Guard troops from CA and TX. Very welcome news, but it's terrifying that we're at this point.

Dark money groups outspend Tennessee congressional candidates, oppose Republican Jody Barrett Out-of-state groups have funneled millions of dollars into Tennessee’s special congressional race, outpacing the fundraising totals for most frontrunners.

Team fascist is running scared in TN CD7. Lots of dark money, out of state money. Even sending emails to republicans who haven't voted yet threatening them with exposure to the party. Local gop denies involvement, lmao.
Please vote Tuesday if you live in CD7 - Aftyn Behn is the progressive ♥️

Text card: Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary. #OnTyranny

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny":
Listen for dangerous words.

Judge Blocks Trump’s Troop Deployment To Portland, Newsom Delivers Dignity For Workers, AOC Demands Epstein Truth, and Pete Calls Out GOP Chaos The resistance holds the line

Judge Blocks Trump’s Troop Deployment To Portland, Newsom Delivers Dignity For Workers, AOC Demands Epstein Truth, and Pete Calls Out GOP Chaos

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

Opinion | Democrats shouldn’t bail out Trump as the shutdown drags on The best time for the opposition to take a stand, rather than settle for untrustworthy promises, is right now.

The White House is blatantly violating the Constitution, ignoring Congressionally-allocated spending. Approving any budget would put a stamp of approval on the end of checks and balances.

It'll hurt, yes, but it's time for opposition. The political costs will mostly fall on the people in charge.

So much Democrat and pundit handwringing about the shutdown as if they're in charge of the government.

They're not. The only possibilities are Trump makes things worse with Democratic approval or Trump makes things worse despite Democratic resistance. Don't bail him out.

My latest (on @msnbc.com):

Primary voting totals as of October 2 in TN, which has been very red as a result of outrageous gerrymandering. Looks like things could get interesting here.

📽️A MUST watch from Marc Elias: It's easy to disengage with the constant stream of bad news flowing out from the Trump administration. But when we become immune — when we stop being outraged — our democracy crumbles.

This is not a fight about tax credits.
This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We are in this mess because Donald Trump is a hateful bigot, narcissist and sadist who can’t stand the fact that most people can’t stand him so he needs to mete out retribution to punish all those who hate him for who and what he is. That…and millions who cheer on his hateful ways. What a world.

2) to this poisonous embrace, because their pathologized whiteness remains one of the few assets that the dictator and his oligarch friends can’t take away.

1) Choosing to side with a racist, misogynist dictator who is willing to act on his hatred is now embraced as the cure for the fear of losing one’s delusional identity as racially superior, as well as all the benefits that accrue from white protestant male privilege. Poor whites are more susceptible

Live your life so you don’t get nationally famous because you make your living hanging out at the hospital, looking for immigrants to arrest.
