On September 23, Adelita Grijalva won a special election to represent Arizona in the House of Representatives in a landslide, collecting 69% of the vote. Forty-three days later, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) has not sworn in Grijalva. Johnson’s obstruction has prevented Grijalva from providing the decisive signature on a discharge petition that would force a House vote on the public release of the Epstein files.
Little Johnson is a viper in a nerd costume. He is truly so dangerous. Thank you, Judd, for covering this crucial issue. The #DirtyOldMan's minions are putting it all on the line to prevent the release of the Epstein files.
At least Johnson is smarter than Kristi Noem, who proudly declared during the military occupation of LA, that it was to “...liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city.”
Johnson is right that the lawsuit is absurd, but that’s not the fault of Grijalva or the state of Arizona. The blame is purely on him. With most other jobs, a dereliction of duty such as this would be grounds for removal. "Precedent," my tuchus.
Thank you for providing the reasons for all the other delays in swearing in newly elected Congressional Reps. They make the contrast with NOT swearing in Grijalva all the more glaring and infuriating.
He’s not following precedent, he’s following the President like the good little boy he wants to be so very badly. “Look Daddy, I’m not playing with my peepee!” What a sad,pathetic, twisted stump of a man he is.
The only 'absurd' thing is johnson having the ability to deny the people of Arizona representation. The lawsuit needs to be expedited, and johnson should be prosecuted for actively thwarting the constitutional rights of citizens in Arizona.
Yesterday’s election spoke volumes. Is Mike Johnston and the many who chose to hitch their wagon to DJT listening? Are they ready to, at the least, begin to unhitch & move forward. DJT is an unneeded weight- let go! Do the right thing. If not for yourself for the Epstein victims.
I hope yesterday’s election helps in empowering those victims! And know they are being heard by the majority of Americans.
Mike Johnson is likely not on the Epstein files himself, but the length he takes to cover up makes me wonder if Trump has a files on him that is rather terrifying.
He's taking THE Loyalty (Blood) oath seriously as 45 is only needed to stir the ingredients found in Project 2025. Unless Johnson has "plans" for Vance, he's second in line for the throne. He needs to be censored and removed as SOTH; amazingly, it won't be the first time.
The Washington, D.C. office phone number for Representative Mike Johnson is (202) 225-2777. His office is located at 418 Cannon House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515.
If you were in the files and had the power to destroy the files, wouldn't you? Why bother, though, when you have supplicants and toadies with access who, although sworn to uphold the Constitution, would rather carry water for the king and will willingly set fire to the files. If you were Trump, you would. If you were Bondi, Patel, Blanche, you would. You know those old gags where someone holds a newspaper up to their face but an article has been cut out so they can see through the paper? That's the Epstein files, with as many holes as Swiss cheese. The only way we will see photos of Trump and girls in compromising poses is if a law enforcement person pocketed one or two. But even so, they would sell them for big $$.
What I don’t understand is how he can get away with this without a default so no state is at the whim of such corrupt conduct. Let her party leader sign her in after a certain window of time. It’s simply absurd that one person can hold up an entire state’s representation.
Obstructionist politics is the Republican way. Mitch McConnell made an art form of it. There is no "reason" Johnson can give to rationalize not swearing in Grijalva that would be legal or make sense. He should be impeached and replaced.
In the old days so long ago swearing in new members was taken for granted. So were elections to fill unexpectedly vacant seats because states wanted representation. Now it is all partisan weaponry.
To change or create new rules you need a majority which the Dems do not have.

You defame all vipers with your invidious comparison. Also, as a nerd, I would never dress like that punk.

He makes his own precedent to lie, cheat and repeat!
Thank you for the depth you bring to this story, Team. Mainstream media only scratches the surface.

Either he is being told to do this from higher on up or his name is also on the list.
Why not... snicker, both?
I have "both" in the pool and 62 days! 🤬👍🏽
Drank the Kool Aid.
Sold his soul.
Revealed his sword.
Accepted his role as "the messenger" and willingness to die for someone who WILL claim that he "didn't know him".
"and willingness to die for someone who WILL claim that he 'didn't know him'". SO true!!! FOTFLMAO!

At the very least the House Democrats should impeach him. This behavior cannot be tolerated any longer. Arizona has a right to representation.
Lie, cheat and repeat! It's the M. Johnson way!

Agree to the actions stated. Time is UP.

Mike Johnson is the personification of that old Southern adage: Big man, big dick; little man, all dick.
