I just went to the House floor to demand that Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the GOP gaveled out without even recognizing us.

We’re not going anywhere. I’m here with Leader Jeffries and Adelita Grijalva. Speaker Johnson must swear her in.

Thank you, Judge Susan Graber for calling for an immediate en banc review in the 9th Circuit. Yesterday's decision must be vacated "before the illegal deployment of troops under false pretenses can occur.”

The military has no place in our cities.

So we’re now paying federal taxes so Donald Trump can withdraw them from the Treasury like it’s his own personal bank account? Really?

Raskin: "Speaker Johnson described the exercise of 1st Amendment rights across the country by 6 or 7 millions Americans as part of No Kings as a 'Hate America Rally.' The Hate America Rally happened on January 6 ... there were more than 140 police officers who were wounded."

One person announced an actionable next step: BOYCOTT BLACK FRIDAY

Shouldn’t everyone who marched post that?

I’m just wondering. Just asking.

We are behind the scenes doing what we are doing - I just want to know what the visibility was about.

It means $1.4B for our economy and thousands of new jobs.

Bondi put 1000+ personnel on finding and tagging Trump’s name in the Epstein files. There were training videos showing them how. I’ve filed a FOIA for those videos and have sued the government to get them.

Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."

Yesterday, a federal judge ruled that Gregory Bovino and other officials can be questioned under oath over agents using chemical agents on protesters, journalists, and clergy in Chicago. A lot of ICE agents still mistakenly think that they’ll never be held accountable. They will.

The truth about Emil Bove's conduct at DOJ would not have been fully known, if it weren't for a whistleblower.

As this administration makes a habit of misleading the courts, and ignoring court orders, speaking up could mean exposing real lawlessness.
