I feel like I can’t overstate my age and generally broken down state of my body #onhere. Or how much I love my husband, David.
Me, aging woman with gray shoulder length hair and glasses. My husband David wearing silver rimmed glasses, a short beard and wine colored shirt (burgundy).

It’s been three weeks since Adelita Grijalva won her election, but Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in — all because she would be the final signature needed on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

He’s denying AZ-07 a voice in Congress. Swear her in now.

Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Remember when this was just “one narco-terrorist boat”? Now it’s multiple strikes, foreign nationals dead, and no oversight. At what point will Congress demand answers from this Administration?

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

The recipe only called for braised fennel, but if you're braising anyway, might as throw a heaping helping of cabbage in as well. #JadziaCooks

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

They’ve canceled visas and deported people for much less.

But when it’s their own, we’re all supposed to sweep it under the rug and move on.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Newsom: This president appears unhinged… seems listless… he seems, dare I say, in decline—cognitively, and… physically. These are just the rantings of someone who needs an intervention, needs some help, needs to be stabilized.
