Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.
There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.
Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Thanks for sharing this article. We identified some interesting trends in #CRPD and #Disability rights implementation globally, regionally, and nationally. We have much more data to analyze are excited about our upcoming Lightning Talk on Nov 5 at the World Bank’s Law, Justice & Development week.

Thank you. Our research team at @idpp.bsky.social and beyond enjoyed working on this project, and used @posit.co #positron for our #rstats and #python coding along with a suite of #GenAI tools. Very interesting insights on #CRPD implementation at global, regional, and national levels.

I am deeply troubled by the dismissal of Dr. Carla Hayden, a trailblazing librarian and the first African American and woman to serve as Librarian of Congress. Her leadership modernized access to knowledge for all. This is a loss for intellectual freedom and public service.
