(AP) — Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military further from the seat of its power.

You know what today marks? 3 WEEKS since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social won her election to represent #AZ07 in Congress.

That is 3 weeks more that 700k Arizonans have gone without representation in the House because Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear her in. Stop delaying and do your job.

Hey Mike Johnson – the more you facilitate a cover-up and do everything in your power to prevent the release of the Epstein files – the more your constituents, the American public, and the whole world are going to believe you are guilty of the exact same types of crimes as Jeffrey Epstein.

It’s way past time for Mike Johnson to stop the political games and seat Adelita without delay. Today, my office is sending a letter to Speaker Johnson demanding he do so.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

As Republicans seek Jack Smith’s testimony, the former special counsel has plenty to say

As Jim Jordan and other GOP officials drag the special counsel back into the spotlight, the phrase "be careful what you wish for" keeps coming to mind.

Here’s the thing. We still have the power (probably) to say that this image must not be what America is. We still have the power to say “fuck no, we refuse to allow this to be what the streets of America look like.” Attend a “No Kings” rally this Saturday. And then vote in 2026.

Wait one damn minute‼️

I know Lisa Murkowski isn’t up on her high horse talking about the lack of trust between Republicans and Democrats after she cast the deciding “Yes” on the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill and slipped in backroom deals for Alaska.

She’s part of the problem & needs to own it!

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.
