I feel bad for Texas 2nd congressional district

Having an ass like Dan Crenshaw as your rep must be humiliating. What a big mouth jerk!

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

The biggest thing we can do to help the Dems is to ring the Republican's in our states phone off the hook telling THEM they need to make a deal with Dems to KEEP the healthcare subsidies.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

The GOP shut down the government. They’re driving up health care costs and refuse to negotiate.

Now Speaker Mike Johnson won’t swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social because it would force a vote to release the Epstein files.

Swear her in, now!

Hey Mike Johnson, America has a question for you: What would be someone's motivation for covering-up for a pedophile?

There's only a couple answers:
• Either you're guilty of the same crimes, or
• The accused party is blackmailing you for other very serious crimes you've committed.

Which is it?

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.

Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

One of the biggest lies I've ever heard from Republican's is:

"Just pass this stopgap and we'll deal with the rest later."
They have lied every single time.

Blue states need to start withholding federal tax $$.
We need to take care of our own.

So we haven't heard much about Tulsi.

Do you think she's the one who pushed for the Qatar air force base?

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

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.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.
