Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress 28 days ago with 70% of the vote yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear in. This is a continuation of the GOP's Jan 6 attack and their rejection of democracy.

Remember what’s coming: first, kill Affordable Care credits, doubling costs for tens of millions; then, cut Medicare half a trillion (sleazily, automatically) hurting seniors; then cut Medicaid by a trillion, pounding doctors, hospitals and nursing homes. It’s why we fight.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

No Kings was a huge success. Just look at Trump's response. Turnout was enormous. There was no violence. And the wannabe king is triggered.

"Every tyrant tries to convince the public that support for them is all but universal and opposition is both dangerous and futile. Trump will keep saying that. But after No Kings, it will be even harder to believe than it was before." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Exactly as predicted by independent progressive media outlets, who weirdly turn out to be right about nearly everything but are disdained and dismissed.
Corporate media reliably discovers it after it’s too late

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.

BREAKING: The MeidasTouch Network has officially been named the #1 publisher in the country and The MeidasTouch Podcast the #1 podcast overall according to new industry data released by Podscribe, the leading independent audio and video analytics firm.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.

omg!

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

"Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..."

If you have a Republican MoC--Senate or Hill--probably a good time to call their office and ask if they back Trump taking a shit on America.

Wisconsin Gop lawmakers have proposed bill 546, a bill that would grant fetal personhood and allow only c-sections or inductions to treat ectopic, anembryonic, or molar pregnancies "so long as the physician conducting them makes reasonable medical efforts to save both parent and unborn child"

Will the Beacon Go Dark? What happens when "democracy" isn't part of our identity anymore?

The very existence of American democracy inspired people in every corner of the planet, and the decline of American democracy will have a similarly profound - @anneapplebaum.bsky.social

You can tell people that they will be disabled soon enough and should act with that in mind and they think you’re literally wishing crippling disease on them. Like dude, you could get in a life altering car crash like any day it’s not even a particularly uncommon thing to happen to people.

Oh, I've been smilin' lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Some day it's going to come
'Cause out on the edge of darkness
There rides a peace train
Oh, peace train, take this country

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."
