Grijalva should insist on being sworn in on the petition.
I will be surprised if one or more of the House Republicans who have signed on to the Epstein discharge petition aren't strong-armed by Trump into changing their votes after Grijalva is sworn in, thus leaving the signers short of 218

Working on a theory that aliens discovered the earth ages ago, and they’ve been in high-level coordination with the proteins this whole time, having identified them as the best point of contact.

This yahoo is talking shit about a decorated SEAL commander and the president is building an octagon on the national mall. Seems obvious how this should end.

Sure, it’s a dangerous provocation for lots of reasons, but also they’re putting the carrier, and all it represents, at risk. Few if any of them understand this.

Sen. Paul stunting on Dems by showing how casually, almost carelessly, he can unilaterally exercise the sort of power that Dems claim they don’t have, using a tool that any senator can use at any time. Just for style points, and in support of a Schedule 1 narcotic.

Hey @kaine.senate.gov if you don’t know how to use the power we delegated to you you should relinquish it to someone who does. Resign and let Spanberger appoint someone with the skills/temperament to do the job.
weirdly honest messaging from the breakaway mod/institutionalist leaders who blew up the party strategy

Is he arguing that Wyoming is less deserving of political representation in the Senate than the District of Columbia? Sure sounds like it.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
