House Republicans have been on vacation for SIX WEEKS. All while our economy crumbles, federal workers go without paychecks, healthcare premiums skyrocket, and children are on the verge of going without food. @SpeakerJohnson stop playing games - call the House back to session!

"Johnson won’t swear in Grijalva. It is a reminder Trump doesn’t want those files released. It’s also a reminder that the Republican party is now a full co-conspirator in the coverup. Epstein has become a Republican problem, not simply a Trump problem." https://t.co/m61qsW18ZD

King Charles III shows us—but, really, congressional Republicans—what actual accountability looks like when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein.

He is lying through his teeth. Not only that, but he is the reason our government is shutdown and House reps are not at work! For the love of god and this country, stop electing MAGA. They are liars, cheats, and tyrants.
Speaker Johnson on Rep. Grijalva: In the meantime, she has every ability to do everything that every other member is doing. She can work on constituents' services. She can do all those things. There's no reason for her not to. She is the one who has the answer for that, not us.

A group of 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims is urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

This is a test run for 2026. If Dems win the house, will Mike Johnson simply refuse to swear in the new Democrats?

If you didn’t show up to work, you’d be fired. But this guy is still getting paid on our dime. Rather than spend his time helping constituents who are about to lose their benefits, he’s out campaigning for another job. This is wrong on so many levels.

This is what propaganda looks like. Whoever allowed this to be messaged from an official taxpayer funded account is not only violating the Hatch Act, they are lying and purposefully trying to divide us. Don’t let them.
Walked into a haunted house, but instead of clowns, was surrounded by Democrats keeping the government shut down over free healthcare for illegal aliens.

It's really bad that lying is so normalized at the highest levels of government. And this isn't 'my point of view vs yours'. This isn't differing interpretations. This is knowing the stone-cold, 100% dead set truth, staring directly into camera, and lying about it anyways.
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally. And anything you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting."

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million. In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million. A massive percentage came from foreigners. It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics. But few even care. https://t.co/LOycrcd3Ha

The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found. Much of that cash came from foreign sources.

I was part of the internal Trump administration team trying to convince the president to end the shutdown in 2018 - 2019 — for 35 days — before people went hungry, workers lost pay, and government services collapsed. Here’s what I learned: he doesn’t give a shit.

by design, my people!
Using food as a weapon is a fucking war tactic and the fact that no one is mentioning this infuriates me. You are not pro-life if you cause people to starve.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website. Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

Speaker Johnson “deeply regrets” that millions of Americans will lose SNAP benefits this week, but 3 months ago, he signed a bill with $186 billion in cuts to SNAP. You can’t make it make sense.
NEWS: Speaker Johnson told House Rs on a private call shutdown's "pain register is about to hit level 10" - and it could force Dems to cave, per sources “Sadly," 42 million Americans will get hit when SNAP food aid runs out Nov. 1, he said. “We deeply regret it on our side."

HEB is Texas' real government
H-E-B announced last week it is donating $6 million to two charitable organizations to help fight hunger across the state. A donation of $5 million will support Texas food banks, and $1 million will go to Meals on Wheels. https://t.co/uaySMRQxdQ

Adelita Grijalva won her congressional election by nearly 40 points more than a month ago. Outrageously, she has not yet been seated by Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. If they cannot seat Adelita, how can we trust them to accept the results of the 2026 elections?
