If my opponent Marjorie Taylor Greene really cares about releasing the Epstein files, as every American should, why hasn’t she called on Speaker Mike Johnson to immediately seat Congresswoman-elect Grijalva?

That’s the 218th vote for something she claims to support.

NEW: "When cops, or in my case retired cops, return to the streets, not holding the line against protesters, but standing with them, it’s a sign that the times have gotten truly dangerous."

From Police Officer to Protester

America’s cops must take a stand for democracy, now.

'Exquisite irony' exposed as MAGA men struggle to find love

MAGA men are struggling to find love — and it's a trope that isn't going away. Salon's Andy Zeisler writes Tuesday that "after all the sexual assault and reflective misogyny, the overturn of Roe v. Wa...

Don't forget that the so called evangelical Christians are protecting and supporting pedophiles, abusers and rapists as well.

The cover of the 1987 book The Gate to Women's Country by Sheri S. Tepper (most of the cover shows a young woman looking over a balcony with full moon in background).

Adelita Grijalva was elected to serve the people of Arizona’s 7th district in SEPTEMBER. It is now NOVEMBER and Speaker Johnson STILL refuses to swear her in. It’s completely undemocratic.

If poor people shouldn’t be allowed to buy junk food with food stamps then rich people shouldn’t be able to buy politicians.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

I actually feel a little sorry for Mike Johnson. Before he became Speaker only a handful of people knew what a smarmy little idiot he was. Now, several hundred million people know.
