Fresh from their six-week paid vacation, Speaker Johnson finally swore in Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva. A majority of the House has signed the discharge petition for full release of the Epstein File. Let’s vote.

I hope my Republican colleagues are tanned and rested after their 7-week paid vacation. We’re not stopping. The fight for working people is just getting started.

"It is implausible. It's impossible. It's not true. And it's made up. And this utter detachment from reality... has become an increasing part of their economic policy. If you can't see the reality... you can't design the right policy to correct the real problems that exist."

My gut hunch: Kendzoir was probably not banned by a human for any reason, but by an automated computer process by accident, and BlueSky doesn't want to admit this mistake nor to open up that automation for debate. It wants the power to let computers do this w/o expending $ for human review.
@bsky.app last week my DMs were cut off. Moderation said I could not be trusted.

Hours later, you said it was a mistake.

Then you cut off them off again—but said it was my fault, tho wouldn't explain (before turning them back on.)

Maybe @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's ban is a mistake, too?

"Democrats are falling on a grenade for the Republicans, and telling themselves they had no choice."
Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it.

Democrats Should Have Let Republicans Kill the Filibuster
Instead of caving on the shutdown, Democrats should have waited for the GOP to cave on Trump’s demand to scotch this antidemocratic tactic.

Told ya so...we gave up, caved in, rolled over on our backs and now Republicans are demanding abortion restrictions in exchange for ACA subsidies. Weakness is what the GOP feed on. Democrats never learn.

Never before in living memory has it been as urgent for America to have a strong opposition party. Which is why it’s so important for Democrats to take the steps I lay out in this video.

And if there are Democrats who won’t — we need to replace them with those who will.

Adelita Grijalva understands what it means to support our troops: it means funding veterans' health & housing, not defunding them!

Let's keep backing our vets, their families, and the federal workers who serve them. #VeteransDay

Also for those who don’t know, House Rs are not as unified as Senate Rs. It’s not over till it’s over.

Hakeem Jeffries has held the House line throughout the shutdown without one defection.

Keep calling.
