The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.
Literally the second fugitive slave act all over again. These people have never had an original thought ever.

This is an unprecedented historical moment that demands an unprecedented public response.

I’m incredibly thankful for the solidarity shown by elected officials, public figures, constituents, and others over the past few days.

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.
Utter waste of time. Why anyone is showing up to do that sad bit of foolishness day after day is beyond me.

Mike Johnson version: my son says he'll stop looking at gay porn when I do. I'll stop looking at it when he does.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

I hang my head crying, tears falling on my top tube. I whimper, "I'm so owned" as I look up at the brake lights of the car that sped past me to get to the red light first.

I sometimes stop and remember that all of this is because we had one Black president, and then two women ran, and this mystical convergence opened the Hellmouth.
Everyone needs to understand right now that the Evil Keebler Elf does not intend to swear in a single Democratic rep ever again. No Grijalva. Not anyone else. So, what is the plan to deal with that?
Your periodic reminder: no to #klanproject3.0. No to #tangerineklansman. No to gulags. No to ethnic cleansing.
