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

Huge, huge swathes of *Trump voters* will effectively have no health care available except for emergency ER.
It is simultaneously a) the worst way to maintain public health and b) the most *expensive* way to do it.

I’m telling you, there’s just not enough outrage about the craven actions of Speaker Mike Johnson.
Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results.
So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.
