Good morning.

It's been 31 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

"At this moment in time, of course, the release of the TRUMPSTEIN Files is really the public's main priority."

No one should feel stigmatized for utilizing a food bank.
100% of the stigma belongs to the people who have created a world where food banks are a necessity.

Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.

I don’t think Republicans appreciate just how utterly enraged Democrats are.

Personally I want the eradication of every trace of Trumpism. I want the exposure and, if possible, prosecution of every enabler. This attack on the United States must stop and never happen again.

🚨If YOU rely on SNAP, please like this post, and if you could share YOUR story in the replies below.πŸ™ I'm SO reliant on SNAP as someone on Social Security Disability with a fixed income & have Medicare & Medicaid.

We must speak out because we are NOT just a statistic we are FLESH & BLOOD! INHUMANE.

Pause on SNAP benefits would put 'massive strain' on Philly food banks If the federal government shutdown continues into November, nearly 500,000 city residents will lose their monthly SNAP benefits until it ends.

Almost 500,000 Philadelphians, who rely on SNAP to put healthy food on the table, will see their benefits come to a halt at the end of the month.

This is yet another reason House Republicans need to end their 34-day paid vacation and get back to work in Washington.

*1,618 cases of measles
*Sen. Cassidy brags on X about a Gulf of America red hat signed by FOTUS
*FOTUS sues DOJ for $230 M because as a criminal he was treated unfairly
*People's house demolished as GOP Senators lunch on patio.

Great again, America?

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is β€œthe president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

People in some states are already getting notices about their health insurance prices doubling or tripling. Arizonans will see their increases when they sign up next month. This is simply unaffordable, and the American people are counting on us to do something about it.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.
