      Fyi: that seat has been vacant since March 2025.

       Gop are going to realize convenient „heart attacks“  give them incredible power. 

    2. From AZ, not her district, but it pisses me off that the protector of pedophiles party gets to deny representation to 800k people. The only things that have gotten done this congress are things that hurt normal people.

      How corrupt do you have to be to want to protect a child molester? Or are you just complicit Speaker Johnson?

      How would the party of pedophiles like it if we took away 800k votes and just got rid of the representation from Wyoming? Alaska? The Dakota’s?

    3. Johnson also „founded“ a „College“, that never existed, but he recruited a lot of young boys into it….

      If they have the votes for the Epstein files, they also could GET the votes for replacing his position.

      last week he promised he would swear her in this week. did he think we’d forget?

      It’s an egregious assault on American democracy that she wasn’t sworn in immediately.

      “Umm… now? As in now-now? Oh, um, let me check my schedule. I can’t tomorrow because the president needs me for the Maxwell pardon and then…well, after that, fuck off. Shit, that’s another dollar in the swear jar, forgive me, Lord.”

    8. Mikey is Trump’s lap dog. He has chosen to protect pedophiles instead of listening to the people.

      Can the state of Arizona sue Johnson? Seems incredible that the Speaker of the House can simply refuse to swear in an elected representative. If that is legal, why doesn’t every Speaker (no matter the party) do that every year?

    10. They talk about the founders a lot but seem to forget what happens when we have taxation without representation ‚round these parts.

    11. And now they’re trying to backtrack and say they’ll only seat Democrats when the government is fully open, despite having just seated two FL GOP reps in a pro forma session. It’s just a game to them and they play under a different set of rules. They literally refuse to permit democrats to have any power even when they win an election.

    12. he claims he isn’t blocking things because of epstien, which may be true, he doesn’t care about epstien. He is blocking things because of trump, he is desperately trying to stop people reading about trump in the epstien files.

      I’m assuming that nobody in Arizona’s 7th Congressional district is paying taxes, then, and will not until she is sworn into office.

      Taxation without representation.

    14. Can he be sued for neglecting his duties or for impeding an elected official in their duties. The people aren’t being represented even though they elected a rep.

      Would he also be the one to have to object or handle any objection if she just showed up and started voting? I don’t know why she has to be „sworn in“ if her term was already supposed to have started and she’s the one her constituents chose to be there. If she starts voting and there are „you’re not sworn in“ objections, she can just respond, ok, swear me in right now.

      Look at what they are doing with just one newly elected representatives. Imagine when the midterms come.

    17. Why does he have the power to swear her in? Doesn’t sound very democratic.

    18. praguepride on

      Mike Johnson (to press): „What? I’ll swear her in whenever she wants! There’s no cover-up.“

      Grijalva: „Okay do it now.“

      Johnson (to press): „Seriously any time she wants. She just has to say so.

      Grijalva: „Right now! Do it now!“

      Johnson (to press): „Ahhh, look at the time. It’s No-Swear-November so we can’t do it now. It’s tradition!“

      Press: „It’s October.“

      Johnson: „Seriously there is no cover-up. We’ll get her in lickity split by 2028 I promise…“

      Just a reminder that Trump considers releasing the Epstein files a VERY HOSTILE ACT but also he is NOT IN THEM!

    20. Horror-Jicama8913 on

      So many people are saying to sue him, like that matters anymore. The American legal system is as big of a sham as any other country led by dictatorship
