Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.” The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.” The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.
Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.
President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."
President began demolishing the East Wing of the WH to build there his $200M+ ballroom.
East Wing was built in 1942 during the presidency of FDR. It was constructed to cover the bunker that he used during WWII and the President's Emergency Operations Center.
A spokesperson for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott argued his office’s emails with Elon Musk are confidential under a “common-law privacy” exception to public records laws because they may include “intimate and embarrassing” information.

We are going to leave you tonight with a simple reminder that it’s okay to punch (full grown) Nazis.
No debating. No listening. Punching.
Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.
Johnson says Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva should be serving her constituents despite him delaying her swearing-in
@cnn.com propping up the regime again. How about mentioning that until she's sworn in she literally CAN'T HIRE STAFF or even act as a Congresswoman in any capacity?
This says everything.
Attending a No Kings march is the first step towards saving our democracy.
The next step? Fighting for policies that build a better future.
Here are some ideas.

As a parkie who’s helped to protect historic buildings in the DC area, this makes my heart hurt. You can’t ever bring that back.

A tweet from FactPost reads: “Gov. Newsom has announced California will be the first state to sell insulin through a state-backed program. It will cost just $11.” Below the text are two images side by side: on the left, California Governor Gavin Newsom standing in front of an American flag; on the right, a close-up of a gloved hand holding a vial labeled “INSULIN (rDNA origin)” with dosage and storage instructions.
California leads the way!
Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18
An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative
Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public?
Yeah, me neither.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Yellow text over a photo of a ranger and child in a forest reads: The NPS is preparing for another wave of mass firings as soon as this week. Leaked reports indicate cuts of nearly 25% across the Department of the Interior. These cuts would paralyze the agency’s ability to protect our parks.
Yellow and orange text over a photo of NPS scientists working at an archeological site reads: Due to the popularity of parks and public outcry (YOU!), staff in parks may be spared the axe. That’s a HUGE win. But there’s a catch. EVERY park depends on the technical support and leadership of staff beyond park boundaries. Join us to demand protection for our colleagues in specialized regional + national programs. Every day this week, we’ll be highlighting their critical work.
Yellow and orange text on a dark background with a photo of a park ranger in uniform holding a telemetry antenna for tracking wildlife. Text reads: #NoParksWithout Science + Stewardship The NPS Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Directorate exists for one reason: to help parks use the best available science to make management decisions. This is mandated by Congress in the NPS Omnibus Act of 1998. Read on for ways that NRSS scientists help protect parks.
Yellow and orange text on a dark background, with a photo of three NPS staff in waders with nets standing in a small stream surrounded by wetlands. Text reads: #NoParksWithout Ecological Monitoring Scientists in the NPS Inventory & Monitoring Division track the long-term health of our parks. Are wildlife populations healthy? Where is water quality changing? Are forests in trouble? Without this data, park managers are flying blind.
NPS is preparing for more firings. But they know parks are popular, so they’re trying to hide these cuts while gutting NPS from the inside out
They’re planning to go after regional and national offices. You wont meet these staff in a park, but they're specialists who are the backbone of the NPS 💚
A week after my remarks on the Senate floor I am more energized then ever to continue to fight for Americans on Medicaid, Americans worried about Social Security, Americans looking for opportunity in their local economy.
BREAKING: The Department of Defense Inspector General has launched an investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for sharing secret attack plans against the Houthis using Signal.
Oh.
I stand with the penguins of Heard and McDonald Islands!
Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?
