I fear there well be blood spilled letting a mob boss know we intend to defend & preserve the sanctity of our democracy.

The media could help the cause but I doubt they will.

It’s not just our democracy that has been hacked. It is truth, justice, kindness, compassion & good humor as well.

Mike Johnson isn't Christian.
He proves that every day.
But he IS a numerologist.
He fears 218.

Swear-in Rep. elect Adelita Grijalva!

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.

The Trump admin is apparently finalizing plans for two days of events under the pretext of the 250th anniversary of the Marines. Sources close to MTN describe the closure as part of a “vanity parade” that may involve Navy warships shooting live missiles into Camp Pendleton as a “show of force.”

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

Supercut of comments from Republicans today alone about the No Kings rallies taking place this weekend. This has to be some of the worst, and most anti-American, coordinated messaging of all time.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

You know who's been holding actual "Hate Rallies" for over a decade, Li'l Johnson?

Donald Trump.

Only you don't see it because he drums up hate against the same people you hate.

And you call yourself a Christian. 🙄

Protesting is a First Amendment right. No Kings is a peaceful protest in defense of democracy. Mike Johnson calling it a “hate rally” is pure disinformation He’s trying to seed violence. We see the playbook and we’ll make sure responsibility lands exactly where it belongs.

Attention Republicans: there will be no such thing as a “safe seat” when your constituents find out their healthcare premiums are doubling.

Trump states will get hit hardest, and your voters think you don’t care.

Every wannabe king forgets the same lesson: Americans don’t kneel. The weak call it chaos. The strong call it a wake-up call. The Constitution doesn’t need worshippers. It needs warriors.🔥👇

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

“Go to a No Kings rally. What do you see? You see moms and grandmas and kids and dogs and funny signs and dancing and happy displays of opposition to the regime that are foundationally nonviolent. And on the other end, you’ve got a regime that’s led by a guy who cheered the January 6th insurrection”
