Grijalva: The frustration for me is that it seems as if Speaker Johnson is not willing to swear me in because our politics are a little different, or because I’m going to be the 218th signer—he can just continue to drag this along with no end in sight. That is not a foundation of our democracy.

🚨 ICE said Marimar Martinez “rammed their vehicles.” Bodycam footage says otherwise. It shows an ICE agent ram his own vehicle into hers, sneer “Do something, bitch,” and then shoot her. We can never believe anything ICE accuses anyone of.

Everyone loves the little guy, until the little guy asks for healthcare.

So when do the ICE agents stop getting paychecks?

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Your Prime Day reminder that Amazon... -Provides cloud services that help fuel ICE's deportation machine -Donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund -Scrapped plans to display tariff costs after pressure from Trump -Shelled out $40M for a documentary about Melania Trump

This is so not normal. And so not right. And so unconstitutional. And if a Democratic president had the Governor of Illinois send IL national guard troops to Texas, @GregAbbott_TX would be having a meltdown.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

In 2019, I worked with Republicans to secure passage of legislation to guarantee all federal employees back pay during any shutdown. Trump signed it. Now, his bureaucrat, Russ Vought, is trying to go back on this promise. Federal employees get back pay. That’s the law.

Feel free to attribute the following to a former OMB General Counsel: The supposed "new legal analysis" is, to use a technical legal term, horseshit. What the law actually says is that when Congress enacts a law ending a lapse, furloughed employees get paid at the earliest date possible. Period.

👀 😂 @mikenellis.bsky.social

Saying it's the Democrat shutdown is like saying the Titanic was sunk by the passengers.

Now they want to not pay workers backpay that they are entitled to. Even the ones who are working currently without getting paid. This tracks, donald always is stiffing workers by not paying them. Orange loser.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Her explicit reason for leaving, by the way, was that when she live-tweeted a staff meeting and accused her colleagues of hating free speech and they publicly pushed back, management refused to discipline them for arguing with her. You can understand most contemporary media dynamics from that alone.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

Pam Bondi is simply no match - intellectually or ethically - for Adam Schiff. Watch this must-see clip as he dissects and exposes her pathetic performance today. When she realizes how badly he is rolling her, she tries to interrupt. But it’s to no avail. She knows that he has her dead to rights.

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?” AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks, New Yorker

crazy that one of the most storied institutions in american journalism is going to be run by two people with basically no experience to do it

Imagine believing this. They’ve refused to expand Medicaid in Tennessee costing us $30 billion and counting

you are no longer allowed to have imposter syndrome. not after this bari omgwtf weiss situation. you're literally not allowed to feel imposter syndrome ANYMORE

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people." Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Whatever Speaker Johnson says: He sent the House home for YET ANOTHER WEEK because he cares more about protecting the Epstein files than he does about protecting the American people.

Breaking: Caving to pressure regarding Bad Bunny’s planned Super Bowl halftime show, the NFL will instead invite Morgan Freeman to read aloud excerpts from the Epstein files.

We’re only 9 months into this presidency and he’s already sending troops from red states into blue states while clearly stating his motives are political.

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None. This shouldn’t even have to be said.

3 wks ago she won an election to represent a congressional district in southern Arizona that hasn’t had congressional representation for 7 months. But she hasn’t been sworn in. So the district still has no representation. Why? To protect Trump and keep the Epstein files hidden.

‪They all have this cheerful grin on their faces. — I wish someone would ask why they took such pleasure in torturing the American people.‬

Not to be a pedant but Bari Weiss was a junior editor who occasionally wrote opinion pieces in the opinion section, not a columnist.

Do people realize that Trump and Miller are creating so many valid civil causes of action that taxpayers will be paying billions of dollars—if not tens of billions—to their innocent victims and their families over the next 25 years? America will be digging itself out of a hole for decades to come.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein. The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

Same. #AlsoTiredOfWaitingForTheEPSTEIN_Files

Don’t worry, Mitch McConnell, we haven’t forgotten that most of this is your fault.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

“THE CLAIM: Democrats shut down the government because they want to give free health care to immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally. THE FACTS: This is false.” apnews.com/article/fact...

Listen, there are a lot of influencers who get their content from legacy media and investigative journalism and then tell you not to support legacy media or investigative journalism. That’s grifting.

it is interesting to me how the MAGA right has a balkanized view of the United States that does not, at all, correspond with the reality of the United States

Where are the people who were so outraged that Biden asked google to pull misinfo at Covid, now that Trump has made Apple pull the ice tracker app
