Do I understand correctly that this stupid bill must now go back to the House, which means that Speaker Johnson has a lot to think about? Can he find a way to avoid swearing in Grijalva, even with the House in session, thus further confirming the Epstein cover-up?

Government should always serve the people.
🏠We need affordable housing so every Michigander can have a safe place to call home
👧FREE childcare for every parent
🔍And Transparency in our government
When government actually works for the people it serves, we move Michigan forward.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

Hegseth says the U.S. is now acquiring military equipment for the purpose of war. So, I guess the acquiring weapons for fun is over now.

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...
190. SNAP WTF?
A very quick explainer on what (and why) Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

I just got another interesting take on SC Justice KBJ's temporary stay on the SNAP benefits last night- and it puts my mind at ease somewhat. Her decision was a strategic one, meant to give we the people more protection. Hard to explain the details, but she knows what she is doing.
