Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a 30th day.

She now holds the record for the longest wait to be sworn in of any special House election winner in decades.

Republicans are taking away health care from 15 million Americans.

They are doubling premiums for 20 million.

Now, they are illegally withholding emergency SNAP funding that keeps millions of children from going hungry.

All so they can give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%.

Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

Republicans need to do their job—protect SNAP & keep families from going hungry. I joined my Democratic colleagues in urging USDA to use every available dollar & its full legal authority to deliver SNAP benefits in November. Our neighbors shouldn’t have to pay the price for Republicans’ dysfunction.

Leonardo Garcia Venegas, 25, was working at a construction site in coastal Alabama when ICE agents tried to take him to the ground as he yelled, “I’m a citizen!” They held him handcuffed for more than an hour and dismissed his REAL ID as fake. Two weeks later, he wrongfully held by ICE agents again.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Public outcry is key to fighting against Trump’s cruel policies. Today, thousands in CT & around the nation come together to declare we reject tyranny.

I stand against violent ICE raids, careless health care cuts, & countless other reckless actions taken by this administration.

Be peaceful. Have fun. Build solidarity.

Do you know what a group of frogs is called?

AN ARMY
Yes, I just randomly found out. I know he was a big fan. I lost track of him, and just randomly Googled him to see if he had a Blue Sky account or anything, and then I saw the post. It's odd that he just passed, so I thought I'd share.
@chrispirillo.bsky.social I didn't know if you knew Roberto passed away earlier this month, I remember you two meeting a while back.
I knew Roberto Cordero from old YouTube. A very nice, funny, techy guy originally from #PuertoRico. He loved his cat, Black Friday, and always championed #accessibility in tech. I just found out he passed away. He will be missed. He had no living family, his friend is helping gofund.me/5aaa97d54

One of the most important things I teach when I teach about the history of the FDA is how supplements are not monitored and tested like drugs are. They rely on self or 3rd party regulation, which often fails in so many ways.
my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.
