Good morning.
It's been 30 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.

Attention I ask from all the sacred people, greater and lesser offspring of Heimdall! Congress has not authorized the use of military force.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.

For about three years, there has been chatter about the shooter being trans right after every shooting.
This one may have been, maybe not.
It doesn't matter what we do, even if we could be perfect, the propaganda machine is coming for us.
We really need our allies to shout the lies down.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid?
Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms.
Wanna know another fun fact?
If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.
