As long as party leadership refuses to listen to voters, the crisis will continue. Fire all the political consultants and have a few town halls.

"“I’m the speaker and the president,” Mr. Trump has joked, according to two people who heard the remark"

1) Trump's not joking; He is the Speaker

2) He is also the Senate Majority Leader and Chief Justice

3) Actually it's Stephen Miller doing those jobs

It's been 33 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

I’d be ashamed to have a job meant to help my fellow Americans, to be paid while doing no work, all while people will lose benefits, jobs, and go hungry; the entire east wing of executive mansion in rubble as federal soldiers invade states, and the protection rather than eviction of child rapists.

The Ukrainians have proved themselves to be brave, persistent and unwilling to forsake their independence to a murderous dictator. A good model for Americans.

I remember a lot of discussion about the importance of understanding the “75 million” people (many commentators rounded up) who voted for Trump in 2020. Interesting to note that more than 75 million people voted for Harris, and yet I saw no such equivalent discourse after the 2024 election.

Senator, ask yourself why they might want to do this. Do you know of any examples in history where governments did this sort of thing? Can you make any connections here? Are you complicit?

Choosing not to feed Americans in need is unacceptable.

The Administration knows it can use emergency funds for SNAP payments—it even deleted the memo posted on its website saying it could.

They are choosing to inflict pain on families.

The house has been out of session for 81 of the last 93 days.

This means we're being taxed without representation by an elite, wealthy, religious ruling class who are refusing to provide basic care for its citizens and are instead enriching themselves with our tax money.
