Dems’ shut-down demands should be as follows:
1) swear in Grijalva now and pass a rule that says all new special election members must be sworn in the next business day after their election win, regardless of party.
2) release the entire unredacted Epstein files.
3) get ALL military troops out

Texas loaded busses with desperate migrants and dropped them off in Chicago like trash in the middle of winter. We welcomed them into our communities. Now Texas is sending its National Guard to terrorize them on our streets. In our neighborhoods. What the fuck.

Get our city’s name out of your mouths.
Pritzker: "He has no idea what's he's talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops. He is insulting the people of Chicago by calling our home a hellhole, and anyone that takes his word at face value is insulting Chicagoans too."

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

A federal judge rejected the DOJ's effort to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits in the Epstein case.
He wrote that the government itself is the “logical party” to make the Epstein files public and criticized its motion as a “diversion” tactic.

DOJ goes 0-3 in requests to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury materials
Two other federal judges already denied DOJ’s requests to publicly release the material.

The White House’s official X account has a long thread in which they’ve posted pictures of people arrested during the feds’ occupation of the city. Every single person in the thread is a person of color.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.
Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

To be clear: he doesn’t care about crime, he cares about control. He’s a convicted felon. And if he cared about crime he would’ve deployed the National Guard on January 6th.
This is all about him. Like everything else.

60 years ago today, the signing of the Voting Rights Act ensured representation for every community in the nation.
Trump is attempting to violate that law now to roll back our progress.
This isn't just about Texas – this is about America.

📌The reason Trump is failing -- AGAIN -- is because 70 percent of America sees through his nonstop bullshit. We aren't in his cult.
Fact is, we hate you, asshole. And WE are the majority.

So RFK Jr. has pulled funding for mRNA vaccines, because HE doesn't believe in them.
Meanwhile the U.S. is suddenly a 3rd world country begging for help when the next pandemic hits & Europe asks if we’d like fries with our pleas for help.
But hey RFK Jr. sure showed Big Pharma, right?
