House Republicans are refusing to seat Dem Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election more than a week ago. She's the last signature needed to force a vote on the Epstein files.
The soonest the GOP will act is Oct. 7. In three prior specials this year, the winners were all sworn in a day later.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.
ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Inflaming and provoking violence and division and threatening to deploy military resources against your own people is not a show of strength — it’s abuse of power and a sign of leadership without a moral compass or regard for the law.
We are a democracy. We stand strong. You cannot intimidate us.

So impressed with Rep. Stansbury. More like her, please!
Folks, this is a scam.
The GOP is helping Elon Musk and his friends loot the federal government and give themselves billions in federal contracts—and then wants to give them permanent tax breaks on the back end by cutting critical programs.
Let's call it what it is: a scam on the American people.

And watch the Trade Uncertainty Index shoot near 20-year highs. Legal chaos generally NOT a driver of domestic business investment.
Trump Doctrine: Destroy government program illegally, await lawsuit and TRO temporarily halting destruction, watch case move through courts at taxpayer expense, repeat. Meanwhile, we all pay the price in legal fees and chaos.

MN is proud to help feed the world (in fact, this program was created by Hubert Humphrey). Now not only is that in jeopardy, but millions of dollars in income for farmers is too? Disgusting.
This food, which we’ve already paid for, is waiting on ships to be delivered to those who need it.
