Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. Iโ€™m not backing down, and weโ€™re going to win.

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that โ€“ย he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country.

He is a clear and present danger.

How long can Republicans in Congress refuse to swear in an elected Democrat before people start to realize that they intend to NEVER let another new Democrat be sworn in to Congress again? It's been a month.

Normal Times in Dire Times Fascism does not break normal life, it feeds on it.

"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed"

Apparently, Speaker Mike Johnson needs to be sued in order to do his job.

By not swearing in Rep. Grijalva, he's silencing over 800,000 Arizonans.

This is clear disregard for the democratic process.

Heโ€™s got the White House. Heโ€™s got the courts. Heโ€™s trying to steal Congress. But youโ€™ve got the power to stop him โ€” if you vote.

YOUR BALLOT IS THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE.

ICE agents boxed in Illinois Rep. Hoan Huynhโ€™s car in Chicago, pointed a gun at him and staff, and threatened to break windows after he warned locals about nearby ICE activity. This isnโ€™t enforcement... itโ€™s intimidation.

Yup, greedy Republicans sent so much to China to lower their costs and maximize their profits and China learned and improved all of it and passed US.
