Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

My mother was an anti-fascist, studied to be a nurse in America's anti-nazi army. She would have been in the front lines of Saturday's No Kings march.

Happy Banned Book Week. Go celebrate. Read a number one banned book like A Clockwork Orange and ask yourself why it was banned. Is it pro-violence? Or is the world we live in pro-violence?

Today is National Orange Shirt Day, National Shut Down the Government Day, National Don't-Swear-a-Loyalty-Oath-to-Pete-Hegseth Day. So much to celebrate, I think I'll need a MedBed.

Trump has dementia. Even a MedBed won't help.

Happy Birthday to the Bill of Rights. On this day in 1789, the First Congress of the United States approved 12 amendments to our Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. The first 10 of those amendments became known as the Bill of Rights. Time to celebrate with cake and resistance.

?Happy; National! Punctuation: Day...

What this administration doesn't realize is that autism makes you cooler. Normies are about to start snorting Tylenol.

Tell the Smithsonian: Reject demands to whitewash history act.indivisible.org/sign/smithso... As Orwell wrote, "He who controls the past controls the future." Do not let one man hold such power.

This is why Trump wants to control the museums --
“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”
from George Orwell's 1984

KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.”

He was just taken into ICE custody.

Revisiting George Orwell's 1984. This reminds me of Trump's inner circle. "Of all horrors in the world -- a rat!"

Yes, it will.

"We must learn to walk, chew gum, fight for democracy, and talk about the Epstein Files all at the same time." -- Ezra Levin, Indivisible

Oh, this from George Orwell's 1984. It sounds too familiar..."All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place." Hands off the Smithsonian!

It's National Presidential Joke Day. I love this one from Jimmy Carter -- "My esteem in this country has gone up substantially. It is very nice now when people wave at me, they use all their fingers."

Thank you.

It may be my new future, navigating the broken healthcare system. You denied what? What code did you use?

My husband is diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia, and I'm the one who starts to lose her words.
