It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!
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)

Insane. If you want her to be doing work, you should swear her in. Stop lying

What does the even mean? Complete nonsense
There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.
How are you going to fight back? Our democracy is disappearing before our eyes
We need our checks and balances back! No kings!
He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

The voters made their voice heard. And now, Adelita Grijalva is officially certified to represent Arizona’s 7th Congressional District.

It’s time for Mike Johnson to stop playing games and swear in Adelita so she can get to working for the people of AZ-07.
I love Jose Andres so much
DC feds! Show your ID at Jose Andres restaurants and get a free lunch.

There are no press releases during the shutdown, making it difficult to find this kind of news.
But the AK Air/Army National Guards, and the USCG, are conducting SAR operations. The flooding is in remote areas, and affecting primarily small villages, it appears.

They do seem nervous. Let's show them how many of us are unhappy with this regime
Horrendous
Sick
ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

The cruelty is the point
In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
Despicable
“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
This man wants to invade his own country and is bombing boats. Trump is in no way, shape, or form deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize. Everyone in the White House is just a bunch of sycophants
