It's been 38 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Sen. Slotkin: “The president and Secretary Hegseth are refusing to tell the American people who we are fighting…I think it's safe to say that the American people deserve to know who we are at war with, especially if people are being killed in our name.”

MEISELAS: “Trump said he brought in $17 Trillion… $20 Trillion… $22 Trillion… This is what Ponzi schemers do— he holds out false hope that there are riches right around the corner (while people starve).”

REPUBLICAN Rep. Turner says Hegseth & Trump gave “not very good answers” about the boat bombings in international waters. (As the UN condemns it)

Dozens killed. No evidence that any of this was necessary or justified.

Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.
Ettingermentum writes: “Actually what on earth is in those files bro.” 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.” The picture shows Grijalva in a red jacket beside Speaker Mike Johnson.

Mark Walter now officially owns the Lakers and the Dodgers.

Just remember that a subsidiary of Walter's Guggenheim Partners owns a stake in GEO, Trump's private prison and ICE detention contractor.

Walter is profiting off the surveillance, detention, and kidnapping of immigrants and US citizens.
