More than a month after her election win, Johnson to finally swear in Grijalva

U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva is expected to be sworn in this week, ahead of the House vote on a government funding bill, Scripps News has confirmed.

Grijalva won a special election in Arizona's 7th congressional district in late September, but House Speaker Mike Johnson refused to swear her in. He said it was due to the House not being in session, which has been prolonged due to the government shutdown.

Are you saying this because you believe it matters or just to get your frustration out?

Do I have the energy to be shocked anymore?

I'm starting to think we can't trust this Johnson fella at his word

He's come up with a new way to stall the release of the files, or to kill it altogether.

No need they're going to swear in a person with a cancelling vote the same day, they're already being annoyed in airports about it.

I mean at this point, Trumps goons have had custody of the files so long nobody is going to believe what's in them anyways.

Did the dems cave on this too and now need another vote in order to release the files?

Part of the calculation to end the shutdown was getting the files released, so no.

You have a lot more confidence in them than I do.

The files in question:

Dear [redacted],

Just [redacted] 5 [redacted] girls at the party last night. What a great time!

Yours, [redacted]

I mean, the vote count can change but it stands as we have it.

blattrules@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 311d

I wouldn’t be surprised if they further capitulated to them and now that’s going to change.
