Sen. Ruben Gallego on Mike Johnson refusing to seat Adelita Grijalva: "Speaker Johnson's just a little creep and he's acting like a creep when it comes to this...He is doing this because he wants to cover up for the president and the pedophiles on Epstein's list."

Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th.
Free speech is action. Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country.
I'll be there. Please join in.

The fact there’s a man in our White House who constantly expresses his hatred for half of the country and makes clear his desire to strip away programs supported by Democrats should tell millions & millions why they need to be a part of the No Kings protest if they still believe in America.

“Obamacare is broken. Obamacare is a failure,” says Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso.

Mike Johnson says "We have hundreds of ideas literally on the table to fix healthcare."

They don't have hundreds of ideas on the table. They don't have even ONE idea on the table.

THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A TABLE!

Bessent’s arrogance is breathtaking.

Bessent’s condescension is world-class.

When the Trump regime ends, I especially look forward to his consequences.

My memory is quite the opposite. “No kings” has actually worked out really well for the American economy for centuries.

It’s the arrival of a would-be king that has shut everything down.

Huh. Who could have possibly seen this coming???

Just more Trump lies.

For today’s #BirdOfTheDay #reflections prompt…

An American Coot and its #reflection amongst the squiggles (that’s a technical term).

The squiggles are also reflections of marsh grasses/reeds.

Ultimately, we also have reflections of the sky in the background.

There’s a lot of reflecting going on!
