It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

The apparent decline in right-wing terrorism needs to be understood in the context of the fact that right-wing terrorism all but ceased under the Third Reich as well.
When the state is an instrument of right-wing terror, right-wing terrorism is known simply as "law enforcement".

They use "Free Speech" the same way they use "Pro-Life."
They're not pro-life on healthcare, guns, Covid, the death penalty, or war.
And they're not in favour of free speech when it’s Muslims, migrants, teachers, or protesters.
It’s a brand, not a belief.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.
In 1965:
-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.
-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.
-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

It shouldn’t take bravery for survivors to come forward about sexual assault.
It only takes bravery because the systems that are supposed to protect survivors betray them. In a more just world, it would be easy for survivors to come forward and we would all be waiting to hear and help them.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios.
At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024.
Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570.
That’s a ratio of 632 to 1.
How can anyone defend this?
