“Because our Constitution assigns responsibility for election regulation to the States and to Congress, this Court holds that the President lacks the authority to direct such changes,” [Judge] Kollar-Kotelly wrote in her opinion.

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.

Trump and Congressional Republicans would rather starve children than lower health care costs for millions of Americans. This is a cynical, callous choice they’ve made in order to exert political leverage and avoid releasing the Epstein files.

It’s that gross.

Trump is witholding food assistance from 42 million Americans—using them as political pawns—instead of negotiating with Democrats to reopen the government.

Trump’s not just stealing seats — he’s stealing your paycheck.

Healthcare costs +75%? That’s not inflation — that’s theft.

Prop 50 is the only legal tool to stop him before he bankrupts your family. #Prop50VoteYes

The image from Courier Newsroom headline reads: “Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is now the longest Rep-elect in history to not be sworn in. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear in Rep-elect Grijalva over fear of releasing the Epstein files.”

Trump's FCC just scrapped a Biden-era cap on the maximum price of prison phone calls between inmates and their families.

Telecom and private prison companies — which donated to Trump's campaign — lobbied for the rollback.

This regime's cruelty and corruption knows no bounds.

They’re not redistricting — they’re voter-suppressing with a ruler. Prop 50 says: if you steal seats, we’ll redraw the rules. Democracy doesn’t beg — it burns the playbook.

Don’t let Republicans rig another election! Prop 50 defends fair play by giving California voters—not politicians—the final say on temporary congressional maps.

Power belongs to the people, not backroom deals.

Stand up and vote #Prop50VoteYes—our democracy depends on it.
