My favorite kind of acetaminophen is
Tylenol Rapid Release the Epstein Files.

SWEAR. IN. ADELITA. GRIJALVA. NOW.

Disgustingly — Republicans are DENYING over 800,000 people representation in congress until they swear her in.

Mike Johnson — quit making cowardly excuses. Do the right thing — CALL A PRO FORMA SESSION to swear in the duly elected representative of Arizona's 7th congressional district. Do it NOW, as all who value democracy have every right to expect you to do.

Grijalva, who won a special election in Arizona in September, would be the deciding vote for a discharge petition that would force a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files.

SWEAR. IN. ADELITA. GRIJALVA.

She should have been sworn in WEEKS ago.

A quick message from DNC chair Ken Martin about the government shutdown as part of the Republicans' strategy to REFUSE to release the Epstein files. Namely, once Adelita Grijalva is sworn into office (as she should have been WEEKS ago), the Democrats will have the votes to approve a discharge petition forcing the House to vote on releasing the Epstein files. The CHILDREN Epstein victimized deserve to see ALL those involved held accountable for their crimes, and the American people DESERVE the WHOLE truth.

The Democrats want transparency for the GOOD of the American people — why don't the Republicans?

Legislators — get to D.C. and GET TO WORK!

A new KFF Health Tracking Poll finds more than three-quarters (78%) of the public say they want Congress to extend the enhanced tax credits available to people with low and moderate incomes to make the health coverage purchased through the Affordable Care Act’s Marketplace more affordable.

Jimmy Kimmel, and numerous U.S. presidents of both parties, emphasize the importance of immigration to America’s history, its strength, AND its future — in direct contrast to the gross anti-immigrant rhetoric constantly spewed by Trump. Check out this excellent clip!
