It's been 37 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

It's official - the House will be out AGAIN next week, for a sixth consecutive week. That means the House will have worked 20 days over 17 weeks. The last House vote was on Sept. 19.

COLLINS: The NYT is reporting your legal team is seeking $230 million from your own DOJ now in response to the investigations into you. Is that something you want?

TRUMP: It could be, yeah. I don't even talk to them about it. All I know is they would owe me a lot of money. They rigged the election.

Trump: "We have Darth Vader. You know Darth Vader, right? Darth Vader is a man who is sitting -- is that Darth? Stand up please. Does everybody know -- they call him Darth Vader, I call him a fine man. But he's cutting Democrat priorities and they're never gonna get them back."

The Peopleโ€™s House Is Becoming a Party House The East Wing of the White House is being torn down to make room for a ballroom.

Cruelty and humiliation have become the Trump administrationโ€™s common currency. From Trumpโ€™s coarse rhetoric and vows of hatred, Elon Muskโ€™s Nazi salute and Stephen Millerโ€™s rage-filled threats, the young GOP loyalists who wrote racist texts were speaking the language of the people they admire.
