Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

Bill Pulte runs an agency that oversees over half the mortgages in the US. And yet he has posted on social media all day every day for weeks about the mortgage of ONE person, who just so happens to be a Democratic appointee to the Fed Reserve with 11 years left in her term.

Jones: What I’m seeing today is different. It’s no longer simply black and white like it was in 1963. We now have much broader problems in America — deeper divisions among races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations. Those divisions are growing, and people are stoking that fear and anger.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists.
RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.

Ossoff: He never should have been confirmed by the senate and he needs to resign. It is one thing to be a skeptic or a reformer. It is quite another to be a fool…

I gotta push back when people (myself included at times) call everything not Epstein related a "distraction"
It's more than "a distraction " everything being done is being done with purpose to rip the fibers of democracy apart. There are real life implications, I wouldn't call those distractions.
