A federal judge has the authority to swear in a member of the House of Representatives, if the Speaker refuses to do so, House Reps would have a process resolution to address his refusal. This is supported by legal precedent, the Constitution and historical exceptions.

So House Dems—use this!

“Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.”

They haven’t done a single thing in decades to make life better for ordinary Americans

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Dedicated government workers that are lucky enough to still have their jobs after DOGE’s illegal firings—are now not getting paid even though many still have to work.

Contrast this with Republican House members that haven’t been in session for weeks now but are still getting paid.

It is the last year for the Darth Vader balloon, to repair it will cost as much as having a new one made—which is around around $150,000.

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged.

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.
