Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that private citizens have no standing to sue for disability-based violations of the Voting Rights Act—the landmark federal statute that protects, among other things, the right to voting assistance for disabled people.
Voters can't sue for disability discrimination, court rules

Trump threatens media "brass" to mutilate journalism because reporting on him accurately can end him. He controlled Roger Ailes, Jeff Zucker, Washington Post, New York Times, ABC, CBS, and is threatening a lawsuit because he couldn't control The Wall Street Journal -- THIS time.

I don’t feel the need to talk at length about this but no, the President cannot strip a natural born citizen of their citizenship.
Period.
End of discussion.
There are not two fucking sides to this. It cannot be done.

On May 28, Trump said he would know in 2 weeks whether Putin was “tapping us along.” More than a month later, Trump isn’t doing anything differently even as Russia shows no sign of ending its aggression. wapo.st/3TpyKw2
Opinion | Trump showed moral clarity on Iran. He should do the same for Ukraine.
Iran’s regime drew decisive action from the president, yet he continues to indulge Vladimir Putin.

Sorry and with respect to the military who are participating, this parade is a costly mistake. Low energy, politicized by Trump, meh crowds, degrading the military it seeks to honor. A dud. But worse because it is intended by Trump to coopt military power to serve his personal goals.

Weigel: Authoritarian—that’s a fine word to use. If we were watching Canada do this, or France do this, right now—say, ‘We’re not letting any Americans into the school for political reasons’—we’d probably use that word. So I don’t know why it would be anathema when it’s happening here.
