Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.
Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.
Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Think the GOP's shutdown-driven health care crisis won't affect you? Think again.
If Republicans don't reverse course, average enrollee premiums on California's Health Insurance Exchange are set to skyrocket come January.

This MAGA assault on working and middle-class Americans will reverberate for years, if not decades. As dire as that reality is, however, the monstrous legislation also could provide the unity and solidarity Democrats will need to regain power, remove the source of suffering, and reform our democracy
The worst piece of legislation since the Slave Fugitive Act passed 175 years ago rips a gash in the social safety net, delivers the largest transfer of wealth to the rich in memory, and supercharges a violent, reckless, and cruel deportation machine

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.
But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

Weird priorities. President Trump is illegally withholding $7 billion Congress appropriated for afterschool and summer programs, teacher training and other educational needs. Meanwhile, he’s demanding a trillion in tax breaks for the 1%.
That's not what the American people want.

How grotesque.
The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires.
Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.

The Trump Admin just decided to send thousands of innocent people who have been living and working here legally into imminent danger in Haiti.
Trump will tear apart families, rip up communities, and leave businesses and nursing homes short handed.
And no one will be safer.

White House will end protections for Haitians, citing improved conditions. Migrants in Massachusetts are afraid. - The Boston Globe
The announcement from the Department of Homeland Security cited improving conditions on the impoverished island, despite a humanitarian crisis of gang violence and political instability.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

A customer told me she couldn't believe this store would put up a Pride display, because what if children see it??
Anyway, it was my display, and I'm proud of it, and you (and your children) should all see it. #BookSky 📚💙

Happy Juneteenth!
Today we celebrate the anniversary of Union troops' arrival in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, with the news of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Today we must continue the work of breaking down inequality and injustice in all of our systems.

On June 19, 1865, the last slaves in Galveston, Texas rejoiced as they received word of their freedom. 160 years later, we recognize #Juneteenth as a celebration of their strength, resiliency and dreams, and recommit ourselves to working toward a more just and fair society.

Praying for all American troops who may be in harm’s way. Regardless of your politics I think we can all agree to the safety of our troops.
