Speaker Johnson, your stalling tactics are suppressing the voices of Arizonans who elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva in September. The American people deserve representation and the final vote to release the Epstein files. (1/2)

Newsom: We were under the understanding that we were going to close I-5 — up to 80,000 vehicles tomorrow and Saturday. They seemed to have backed off of that. They were going to move forward with a display, but they’re not clearly sharing that with state officials.

Despite repeatedly promising not to cut Social Security, the Trump Admin is reportedly preparing a proposed rule that could reduce the share of applicants who qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance by up to 20%--which would be the largest cut ever. 🧵

Over 1,200 convicted Jan 6 rioters pardoned—yet Mike Johnson still swears they “stand with Capitol Police.” The plaque still collecting dust says otherwise. The only thing they’ve stood with is their own reflection, choking on the stench of their own gaslighting.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

Anyone want to talk about the impossibility of getting prescription plans to cover #Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic and Wegovy? Do they not realize that helping millions of people to lose weight will save them so much money? Fewer heart attacks, strokes, falls, etc linked to obesity.

Mike Johnson: "They berated a Capitol police officer, screamed at him. He was merely standing his post. It shows, again, their disdain for law enforcement, the Democrats, screaming, assaulting officers."

Dancing With The Stars was really amazing tonight, so many emotional dedications, and Scott Hoying got to sing and dance to a song he wrote for his husband. It’s a great season. And amazing news, Scott and Mark are having a baby through surrogacy.
