Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Ben-Ghiat: If we look at Brazil’s history, there’s a good reason why they took a different path from the US. They had a military coup in 1964 that led to over 20 years of horrible dictatorship. The political class in charge now were alive during that period.

Outrageous.

Blowing up boats in the Caribbean without any legal authority risks dragging the United States into another war, and provoking attacks against American citizens. I'm getting ready to force a vote with @kaine.senate.gov to ensure Congress' power to declare war is not so easily trampled.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON This is in suburban Chicago. That woman is a congressional candidate. @katmabu.bsky.social And those weapons? COME ON. WHAT THE F*CK

There goes the First Amendment.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

This guy will now decide which jokes are appropriate.
