I have a very bad feeling about this...

Congress is rapidly proving itself irrelevant, and the only person who benefits from that is Donald Trump.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Republicans making it so freaking embarrassing to be Republican. Again. It's not funny. It's just gross. Pass the ACA Tax Credit, reopen the government and stop playing fascist. Oh, and my business could really use an end to your random tariff war, if you want to play business-friendly instead.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

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.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

Have they looked on the tariff shelf?

But seriously, this is what I did with my "down time" tonight before starting the new SCOTUS term in the morning. If you've not gotten a paid subscription to Law Dork yet, consider doing so now. www.lawdork.com/subscribe

Donated. Please do so if you can. It’s important that we support independent journalism, especially while mainstream media has abdicated their role.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Karin Immergut hears emergency arguments as California and Oregon seek to block President Trump's deployment of federalized California National Guard troops to Portland. 🧵

Today was the last day AOl Dial Up functioned

Rest well king

Swear her in.

This is what unity looks like.

I really do recommend writing poetry, because if you write it (even if you aren't satisfied with your own poems as: whom amongst us) you will start to _read_ other people's poetry with more excitement and focus and appreciation, and that is a joy.

It brings me no pleasure to report that completing a minor task you've been avoiding (1) is not very hard and (2) makes you feel better afterwards

There Are Rivers in the Sky

Let's take a look at the shop's bestselling books from August...!

There are Rivers in the Sky by Elif Shafak was our 10th most popular book of the month...! This one is very much on my TBR pile.

I do think it's very funny how giuliani's people 1. thought it was necessary to call attention to what giuliani was doing in the area rather than just saying the car he was in was struck 2. concocted a story that specifically looks incredibly suspicious

Rudy Giuliani has been released from hospital after doctors realized he just looks like that

Sea at dusk, kand with some pink flowers.

Good night 🌙

I am not going to engage with that Rudy Giuliani story. I refuse to believe the universe has become this stupid. Clearly I’m having a stroke.

Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️

I waited hours for this cloud to come near the lake #lightning strike reflection.
