I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Survivors — and family of survivors — of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:
"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️
Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.
Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.
I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.
