The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Congressman Eugene Vindman @repvindman.bsky.social · 2h

I’ve directed the U.S. House to withhold my pay during the shutdown.

If federal workers are missing paychecks because of Washington’s dysfunction, Members of Congress certainly shouldn’t be cashing theirs.

My bill with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick would make that the rule, not the exception.
