Speaker Johnson says there's “a moral component” to Trump's "big, beautiful" bill. Really?

The DOJ charged Representative LaMonica McIver with assault after she visited an immigrant-detention facility. “Interpreting this as anything other than an attempt to punish criticism and intimidate Democrats is difficult,” @dgraham.bsky.social writes.

105 new citizens. 34 different countries. 1 incredible day.

Our diversity is what makes our community such a vibrant, welcoming, incredible place to live, and I was honored to welcome these new American citizens at our naturalization ceremony in Joliet.
