This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.
Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

YES WE WILL.
The fascists are not inevitable. They're not unstoppable. They're not all powerful. They want you to think that, but millions turned out last month to call their bluff. And millions turned out today to claim our power. We will win.

Say what you want about Zohran, but take his win as an important lesson for Democrats.
He turned out millions of people because he brought a fresh energy, he wasn’t afraid to have fun, he met voters where they were, and he gave people a real future to believe in.
A very good night for Democrats.

It’s painful watching coverage of the fires in California because hardly anyone discusses climate change.
This is a once in a generation fire. Only it won’t remain once in a generation. Extreme weather events are becoming more common, displacing more and more people.

There's a forgotten history that should serve as a warning — wildfire isn’t unique to the West. Now the warming climate is increasing the risk of major wildfires across America. And more people are moving to fire-prone areas without realizing the danger.

The DOJ just sued six corporate landlords for using algorithmic software to allegedly price-gouge millions of renters.
Some, like Camden Property Trust, have even seen their profits skyrocket and spent millions on stock buybacks while engaged in this scheme.
