Remember when I said that the @housedemocrats.bsky.social could claim that the Speaker's seat has been vacated AND that they could swear-in Rep. Grijalva? I was right. Any House member can move to impeach the Speaker at any time AND swear in a duly-elected rep.

It is kind of ironic how eager he is to go to that special place, isn't it.

Who watches anything anymore on those networks that pander to #Trump? I used to watch @60minutes.bsky.social all the time, but now it's trash and propaganda.

Had a good day at Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary, Chicago today. 11.1.2025

Dark morph Red-tailed Hawk flying from right to left showing its underside with wings fully extended. Maybe a Harlan's?

Short-eared owl flying towards the camera with its body and wings near vertical and its head level.

Snow Bunting flying up to land on some rough concrete on a pier wall. Wings fully spread and its shadow showing on the corrugated pier wall.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

#ICE agents are acting "aggressively" towards #Illinois and #Evanston residents who are just trying to go about their daily business. Shame on @nytimes.com for quoting #DHS as though their propaganda is valid, when in fact #Noem and her thugs are blaming the victims.

SmooshyAndJayne @kvetcherforever.bsky.social · 1d

Every city with ICE thugs in it has people running marathons.
No, NYT, Americans in #Chicago and #Evanston, are not "aggressive" towards #ICE agents. Residents are being terrorized. Why don't you call out #KristiNoem on her lies and propaganda?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

They had to edit out all the gibberish. Which left just more gibberish, but what can you do.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Yeah, I know. But it would be a nice symbolic gesture.

Why can't the Senators and @housedemocrats.bsky.social just declare that the #GOP House Members have vacated their positions--i.e., quit--and work on a CR without them? And swear in Rep. Grijalva, AND release the #EpsteinFiles, AND demand special elections to fill GOP House seats?

Gov. Abbott of Texas was definitely a DEI hire, though perhaps more for being mentally challenged than physically challenged.

Wasn't Kash Patel a DEI hire?

Why can't the Senate and the House Democrats declare that the House #GOP has vacated their seats and call for a new election? AND swear in Rep. Grijalva?

In the meantime, the House Dems and Senate can come up with a CR that doesn't cut healthcare. #EpsteinFiles

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children.

We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards.
