I don’t read as much as I used to and I miss it but my time has been spent writing, working leather, and bettering myself in other ways. I’ve lived and breathed politics since I entered university in 2001. This year broke me. No politics, just beauty.

Exactly. They're painted themselves into a corner.
But, as I inferred, I think there are a whole lot of Republicans that can't wait to be rid of him. It's the only way they will survive the midterms.
There will be a lot of "mistakes were made" speeches in the Republican primaries.

It doesn't force the release, it forces a vote on the release. We'll see what the House Republicans do.
But it is an extraordinary moment that would allow them to cut themselves loose from Trump and possibly save their party from the leaking garbage dumpster of history.

I just walked out of federal court where I pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charges against me.
I will continue to stand up to authoritarianism and call this out for what it is: a political prosecution.

Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva should request a delay to vote on the funding bill because the Speaker of the House purposely, did not swear her in with enough time to familiarize herself with the bill.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says ‘yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.
Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.
I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.
But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.
