"This is not just about Jeffrey Epstein...What about the three-quarters of a million people who live in her district in Arizona who now are going unrepresented in the people's House?"

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of. It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.” #cdnpoli

52 new projects — including the next Jumanji movie, Michael Mann's followup to Heat, and the next film by the directors of Everything Everywhere All At Once — just received the latest round of California Film & TV Tax Credits.

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

Blah blah blah bull shit …more efficient…more cut equal less help and care. I don’t trust any of this.

U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs @deptvetaffairs.bsky.social · 15h

When people look back on this time at the department, I want them to say: That’s when VA finally put Veterans first. Streamlined and efficient. No red tape or runaround. Just results.

Hey the house of reps has had all of Oct and most of September off because Speaker Johnson is desperate to not release the Epstein files.

Have they been filling the time with town halls? I mean they have a full month off… maybe a couple town halls each right?

Who are the private donors funding the disgusting demolition of the East Wing of the people's house for Trump's $250M gilded ballroom?

‪AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals
You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing.

There's no both sides to this, Republicans are actively voting against working class interests

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.
