Nor, apparently, do you have to swear in a new, duly elected member.
They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Just canceled our Paramount subscription. This is despicable. A spurious lawsuit aimed at stopping actual journalism.
Paramount just paid Trump a bribe for merger approval. When Democrats retake power, I’ll be first in line calling for federal charges. In the meantime, state prosecutors should make the corporate execs who sold out our democracy answer in court, today.
