I still think many Americans have no idea how bad this is going to get. I saw President Obama reposting a tepid, mealy-mouthed analysis by Ezra Klein—who's never seen a phenomenon he couldn't be 5 years late in incompetently circumscribing—and I felt like we don't have what it takes to survive this.

I’m skeptical that a court can or will do this, but i think it has to be tried, because the GOP has descended to full lawlessness, and we don’t have any kind of government if the majority party can just refuse to recognize others.

NEW: The State of Arizona sues the House of Representatives, demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson seat Adelita Grijalva or that someone else be allowed to swear her in. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Because there is no dispute as to Ms. Grijalva's election or qualifications, the Court should:
A. Issue a declaratory judgment stating that Ms. Grijalva shall be deemed a Member of the House of Representatives once she has taken the oath prescribed by law, see 5 U.S.C. § 3331;
B.
Issue a declaratory judgment stating that if Speaker Johnson has not administered
the oath, the oath may be administered to Ms. Grijalva by any person authorized by law to administer oaths under the law of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the State of
Arizona; and
C. Award other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Dated: October 21, 2025
Respectfully submitted,
KRISTIN K. MAYES
Attorney General for the State of Arizona

Managed it anyway, with some extra naps along the way. What a total nightmare.

How it does that exactly is a mystery. Also had one of the worst migraines of my life a couple of days after starting it. And some serious indigestion / GERD. Could be unrelated. So, nausea, GERD, migraine, and unbelievable lack of energy. Not a good weekend to drive cross country!

Now, after being on Mounjaro for a week, I can answer some questions about it. I am not a doctor; this is not medical advice; and this experience could be unique / specific to me. So, with that:

1. How does it work? It makes you nauseous / sick to your stomach so you do not want to eat. ...
