In that case, the House tried to exclude a duly elected member (Powell) for misconduct.
The Supreme Court ruled the House has no power to exclude a member who meets constitutional qualifications and that the courts can review such exclusion. 7 to 1 with 1 recusal.

We are taking legal action to ensure Adelita Grijalva is sworn in. I will not allow Arizonans to be silenced or treated as second-class citizens in their own democracy.

Just wondering why I have to get approval from my city's historical commission to change the color of my front door, but our President can just bulldoze one of the most historic buildings in the country with no repercussions. threads/lottstodo

Another milestone year for the Illinois State Fair and Du Quoin State Fair, totaling over a million attendees in 2025!

A time-honored tradition for generations of Illinoisans, this year's attendance numbers are a testament to the enduring value of our state fairs.

Consider this,

Powell v. McCormack (1969) –
In that case, the House tried to exclude a duly elected member for misconduct.
SCOTUS ruled the House has no power to exclude a member who meets constitutional qualifications & that the courts can review such exclusion.

and here's what's next...
⚖️ Expect the following attacks:

✅ “Safety concerns”

✅ Pharmacy contracts that block stocking it
✅ Insurance policies denying coverage
✅ Federal meddling / FDA delays
✅ Congress suddenly “reforming biosimilar safety”

Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets.

Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away.

We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.

If Adelita Grijalva was a Republican, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago to the office she was elected to.

If she wasn’t the deciding signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago.

All his bs excuses are lies.
