👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?”
TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does.
Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

Zohran Mamdani wins with >50% of the vote.
Clean sweeps in statewide races in New Jersey and Virginia.
Pennsylvania retains all democratic Supreme Court justices.
California passes prop 50.
This is the best possible outcome that could've happened tonight.

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Trump let George Santos out of jail just to make it clear that if you're loyal to him, you can get away with anything. This isn't a democracy if one man decides what's a crime and what isn't.
Time for everyone to wake up. This moment is more serious than many want to believe.
