🚨NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva who was elected to the House in an Arizona special election this week. Grijalva is the critical 218th vote to release the Epstein Files.
RETWEET if you stand with @AdelitaForAZ against Speaker Johnson!

🚨Pete Buttigieg just gave the most powerful warning yet about how we confront political violence in America:
“Yes, we have to reject those who commit political violence. Yes, we have to reject those who celebrate or promote political violence.
But also, in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence.
…An overwhelming majority of Americans left, right, and center believe that the government should not be cracking down on its political opponents because they are political opponents.
Not in the United States of America. Not ever.”
Happy birthday to my friend, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Last year I recommended you read her memoir, 'Lovely One,' and this year, I REALLY recommend it. https://t.co/o3PwsKjOLA

I fucking hate Donald Trump.
He's a rapist, a felon, an insurrectionist, a liar, a racist, a bully, a wanna-be king, a fraudster, a crook, a grifter, a debaser of the military, a moron, a misogynist, a narcissist, a pervert, a fascist, a fuckwit and a traitor.
He is as empty as one of his promises and as loathsome as one of his lies. He is the moral and intellectual equivalent of stepping in dog shit. He’s an unwiped arse, a pus-filled boil, the stinking remains of Friday night vomit on a Saturday morning sidewalk.
He's as evil as he is stupid, and he's really, really, really fucking stupid – it’s why the thick and the cruel support him.
He's a cancerous growth that’s killing America in real-time, in front of our eyes, with the whole world watching on in disbelief.
That’s why I hate him. And it goes deep my hatred – as deep as Trump’s involvement with Epstein, and that’s very, very, very deep indeed.
PS He also cheats at golf.
And marriages.
And elections.
Murkowski, you're a horrible, despicable coward.
Regardless of political affiliation, I have no idea how people can look at this bill as a good thing.
There is a level of cruelty that is monumental.
Though I'm not surprised, I am disappointed.
"Baby left alone"
She died. A woman died & the news frames it as she abandoned her newborn. She had no community, no help, died & was only discovered days later & the headline is "baby left alone." Mothers truly are nothing to our society. A mystery why women are opting out.
I’ve been clear: Pennsylvania is not able to backfill these federal cuts to Medicaid and SNAP.
So when the Senate just voted to rush to gut health care, slash food assistance, and cut energy jobs here in Pennsylvania — understand, they knew the consequences.
The impacts of this bill will be on them.
Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen. https://t.co/jTKreuCNWZ
🚨 BREAKING: Planned Parenthood clinics across the Midwest are preparing to shut down within a year; a direct result of Trump’s funding freeze and brutal GOP-backed budget cuts.
In Iowa: 4 out of 6 clinics closing.
In Minnesota: another 4 shutting their doors. (Source: AP)
This isn’t just defunding healthcare, It’s defunding dignity.
Cancer screenings, birth control, STD treatment, prenatal care, gone.
Republicans aren’t just waging war on abortion. They’re waging war on survival.
And women will pay the price with their lives, not just their rights.
Yesterday, Trump released a plan to rob blue states of Army Corps funding.
His partisan plan cuts off blue states like mine from HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS for water infrastructure we need.
This is historic thuggery straight from the White House, & we've got to speak out.
A 12-year-old boy was abandoned on a sidewalk after ICE agents in Waltham, MA arrested the adult he was with.
They drove off and left him there—like garbage. Waltham Councilor Colleen Bradley-MacArthur witnessed it and tried to intervene. Instead of responding, ICE agents filmed the volunteers helping the boy and drove onto the sidewalk to intimidate her.
They refused to identify themselves, ignored legal observers, and broke every norm of decency. The child got home safely only because brave volunteers stepped in.
This isn’t enforcement—it’s cruelty, plain and simple. It’s what authoritarianism looks like.

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it.
If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why?
Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.
