Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

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.

If you’re planning to protest tomorrow:

1. Thank you! Make it big. Stay peaceful.

2. Be careful. There will be people trying to agitate and stir shit up.

3. Take a buddy if you can. If not, video is your friend.

4. Have a plan to get the fuck out if it goes sideways.

UNDERREPORTED: A woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein has sued Bank of America and BNY Mellon, alleging executives ignored red flags out of “absolute loyalty” to Epstein.

Her lawyers previously won $365M in settlements from JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank over similar claims.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren has introduced a bill to block the taxpayer-funded $20 B bailout of Argentina.

Trump has admitted the gift will not help America: “It’s not going to make a big difference for our country”

Elizabeth Warren Forces GOP To Defend Trump's Argentina Bailout

“For Trump, the leader of Argentina is more important than American families struggling with rising costs for health care,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Tuesday.

Chopper circles overhead (so many this morning, gah). Someone has chalked "secret police no more" on one of the free speech area barricades.

Protesters still singing and raising their "God's love knows no borders" banner; behind it is one of the many additional mobile security cams installed.

The FDA approved Enovid (AKA “The Pill”) as a contraceptive on May 9, 1960. JFK became president months later. So, of course, pregnancy rates were much higher than now, as birth control pills became more easily available to women.

RFK Jr. is an idiot.

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.
