Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Adelita Grijalva: Being in a shutdown doesn't preclude swearing people in. There was a whole class in 2019 that was sworn in during a shutdown. I've met with many members that were sworn in in a special. It's pretty common and it's supposed to happen fairly quickly. This is just blatant obstruction

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress 28 days ago with 70% of the vote yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear in. This is a continuation of the GOP's Jan 6 attack and their rejection of democracy.

We had breakfast at a wonderful restaurant in Buellton, California and this was on the counter where you pay the bill.

Trump’s economy is destroying American businesses 😡

💪 Nearly 23 hours in, Merkley isn’t filibustering for attention: he’s fighting for We the People.

From calling out Trump’s authoritarian tactics to exposing GOP attacks on healthcare and justice, he’s proving that courage doesn’t clock out.

Thank you @merkley.senate.gov

Mike Johnson has not heard anything about the entire East Wing being demolished and cannot speak to that.

😭The house was instantly engulfed in flames: photos appeared of a woman and two children whom russia killed in a strike on the Kyiv region.

The drone hit exactly the room where they were all located.

This morning, I opened up The Seattle Times and saw that a couple in WA state are seeing their premiums rise from $1,100 a month to $2,100 a month.
 
That is nearly DOUBLE.
 
We could fix this problem right now, but Trump cares more about building a ballroom than Americans' health care.

fun fact that while trump v. us says that the president cannot be held criminally liable for using his core powers, this does not extend to his officers

Hakeem Jeffries would have us believe in Santa Claus while Chuck Schumer wants us to think the tooth fairy is real.

Are you delusional, bribed, or are you both cowards?

A $7,000 health care bill could soon soar to $24,000. Notices are coming. Democrats are fighting to stop this disaster. Republicans are fighting to guarantee your costs explode. Let’s be clear: Republicans OWN this crisis.

He and Republicans want their Big Ugly Bill (providing billionaire tax breaks) while Democrats favor protecting Americans against health care premium increases

All on him and Republicans if it shuts down. They control government!

Trump leaked this story because he wants to you hear it. Let’s be clear :: Trump wants you to blame a shutdown for shit he is planning to do anyhow. If dems cave and fund him, he will STILL wield executive power and slash government programs. He HAS BEEN doing that with the government open.

🧵Coal in the US was mostly dying because of cheap natural gas beginning in the 2000s. Then cheap renewables began to clobber it in the 2010s. It is a filthy power source and horrible emitter of greenhouse gases. There is zero economic justification for this & it will amount to corporate welfare.
