Govt Shutdown Day 26: Trump flies around as strongman peacemaker as federal employees & active members of US military line up across the US for food. Mike Johnson continues to keep US House of Reps closed & for 33 days refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva who was elected by the people of Arizona.

I no longer think Mike Johnson is giving congress it's 4th week off, (look what we pay for), to put off swearing in of AZ's Adelita Grijalva, the 218 votes to force the release of the Epstein files. I think they're doing it to buy more time to edit trump out the Epstein files.

“We don’t want to establish a precedent that the Speaker of the House can just deny somebody their membership when they meet every constitutional qualification.” Rep. @raskin.house.gov on Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to seat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva one month after she won her Arizona election.

Locked out: Adelita Grijalva's limbo is getting ridiculous as she can't even use House printers | What the Devil won't tell you

If Republicans want people to stop calling them a threat to democracy, they should stop mugging it. Treating Adelita Grijalva's victory like a bargaining chip no longer just suggests a threat to our r...

Another day that our neighbors in AZ CD-7 are going without representation in Washington. Seat Adelita Grijalva! What are you so afraid of, Speaker Johnson?

What’s the real reason that over a month after her election, Adelita Grijalva is STILL waiting to be sworn in? Mike Johnson wants to protect those in the Epstein Files. Full stop.

November 1, when SNAP benefits are no longer funded and will shut off if the government shutdown doesn’t end first, is next Saturday. Mike Johnson is making sure families will go hungry in a week so he doesn’t have to swear in Adelita Grijalva or hold a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

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.

🚨 A duly elected member of Congress is being blocked from her seat. Speaker Johnson is REFUSING to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva — the next member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. This isn’t politics. It’s obstruction of democracy.

Speaker Johnson still won’t swear in duly elected Adelita Grijalva because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein files. Do your job, Mr. Speaker, and release the files.

"Keep Calling Them Out" 25 days into Republicans’ government shutdown, I have a message for Speaker Mike Johnson: You’re a coward who has handed our government to a wannabe dictator. Swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. Bring Republicans back to work. Release the Epstein Files.

🚨 DAILY REMINDER 🚨 Shutting down the government to stall the swearing-in of Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva while blaming Democrats is nasty work. Speaker Mike Johnson’s legacy will be one of coveruption and cowardice. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles📂 #StayWoke✊🏽 #StopTheCoveruption❌ #Pinks 🌸

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.
