They want us all silenced, poor, scared, and in excruciating pain. Oh, and tattling on our neighbors.

He has now erased fully 10% of the term to which Grijalva was elected.
Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

It’s okay to take joy in this moment even knowing the full wrath of the administration will be unleashed to fight this trend next year.

"you don't know what it was like, kid. the streets were like nothing we'd seen before. bread, cheese, meat... we faced it all. you'd be walking down the block, saying hello to the locals, then BAM -- sandwich slams into your kevlar. the smell of mustard and onions... oh god! I can still smell it."
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
