A professor at Harvard released a study that indicates that the death toll on Gaza is close to 400,000 people.
Incredible. Just insane.
And the USA enabled and sponsored every single death.

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.

Everything by Trump and Miller right now is weakness.
They know they've lost the majority and their policies are unpopular and they've F'd up the economy.
So, they'll use the military and threats and unleash their Reeks.
But, they don't have the numbers.
All hands on deck resistance.
