The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

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.

Obama: It is not as if we didn't see some of this coming. I will admit it is worse than even I expected, but I did warn you all. I did. You can run the tape.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

And still be multi billionaires.

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

Lots of fresh info in my new piece:

After being told by a judge that he had to use contingency funds to fund SNAP, Trump asked for guidance on how to do it. The last time this happened was during the shutdown in his first term. So either Grandpa is disingenuous or he's completely lost it.

The GOP campaigned on "We are better at government than the Democrats"

Enough voters believed them and gave them the keys to the government.

And now its "Its all Democrats' fault that we suck at governing"
