Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva ā because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein files. The GOP is doing everything it can to keep Trumpās Epstein cover-up going.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICEāgetting pepperballed and standing their groundāand thought āthatās awesome. That person is a heroā

Start calling the āBig Beautiful Billā what it is Billionaire welfare. Iām so sick of the idea itās fine to give rich businesses & rich people welfare but providing Americans with a safety net is somehow anathema. Stop giving our money to people who donāt need it.

I am disappointed you voted yes to āHonor the life of Charlie Kirkā. He was a man who sowed division and hate in this country and did not make it a better place. His death, like others whoāve died of gun violence, was a tragedy, but his life does not deserve special acclaim.

On the courts, I am equally mad at Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, at both the left and liberal wings, of the Democratic Party. Neither of them ever took the judiciary, or court appointments and reform, seriously while GOP & Federalist Society packed the courts with headbangers.

It is increasingly hard for me to want to support Democrats. As a third generation Dem this is hard to say. Congressmen should not serve until their dying gasp. Thereās no clear succession plan, just a tenacious grip on power. We need young tech savvy options with vigor.

In 1722, Reverend Edmund Massey preached against vaccination, saying "Life itself may not always be a blessing". In 2025, Senator Joni Ernst justified cuts to Medicaid, saying "We all are going to die". The opposite of public health has always been public death.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

We need to fight the treat arm-in-arm.But we need leadership w/discernment. If you misdiagnosed this threat, you should not take a front seat in analyzing the current moment or providing the strategy for how we confront what we are facing w/o admitting how badly you misjudged the threat.
