House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.
Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.
We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

The promotion of pseudoscience about a supposed “cause” or “cure” of autism and the destruction of special education (and all of public education, really) are part of the same project. It is a fascist attempt to expel certain people from the body politic, based in eugenics.
There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.
America’s children deserve better than this.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong.
Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

Elon Musk is NOT a legitimate government official -- he was not approved by Congress, and he has ZERO legal authority.
He cannot shut down agencies. He cannot access Social Security numbers and payment info for millions of Americans.
Take him to court and SHUT HIM DOWN.

Holocaust survivor Reva Kibort remembered when the German soldiers came to Warsaw, Poland.
At first, she said, "they weren't so bad." But, she was later transported to a concentration camp.
She shared her experience in a 2018 episode of Brief But Spectacular.
