Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

That’s not a policy discussion.

That’s a threat and a promise.

He’s instructing Senators to dismantle democracy before voters can change it.

Authoritarian conditioning, served with eggs and fear.

And the Senators? They keep eating.👇

Trump: "We've done really well. I think it's the best 9 months they say of any president. I really believe that. If we can have a few more 9 months like this you'd be very happy, you'd be very satisfied."

Zohran's campaign was all about costs and affordability. But he ALSO went hard at Trump's lawlessness. He attacked economic AND authoritarian power. He ran the most pro-immigrant, pro-cosmopolitan campaign in memory. That *complemented* the affordability issue!

The 10 richest Americans have seen their wealth collectively grow by $700 billion since President Trump's return to office.

A report by Oxfam America details that in 2025 the share of total U.S. assets held by the richest 0.1% of Americans reached its highest level on record at 12.6%.

Zohran Mamdani ran on freezing the rent in NYC.

Abigail Spanberger ran on supporting fired federal workers and lowering the cost of living in VA.

Mikie Sherrill ran on lowering utility bills in NJ.

Ensuring people can afford to live a decent life is the path forward.

Democratic Dominance. A decisive rebuke of Trump and his policies. But we can’t rest…ever.

My take on why we need to learn from yesterday’s election successes and strategize to WIN big in 2026.

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.

Now think about how you feel after last night's election.

You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.

You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.

Remember this.

That so many ppl didn't or still won't believe that tariffs are paid by the people of the country receiving the products, is mind boggling to me. I learned this in high school - and I can guarantee it wasn't because the nuns that were teachers were anywhere near "political"

Zohran Mamdani took New York City by storm last night, with over 50 percent of the vote — despite a torrent of corporate money for Andrew Cuomo.
