  1. I don’t know why she bothers with being seated. She should just start voting like the constitution allows her to. Some procedural bullshit shouldn’t keep her from executing her role in government.

  2. Mike Johnson thinks protecting pedophiles is more important than making sure that Arizonans have the representation their taxes pay for.

  3. Meanwhile, congress has been sent home that full length of time, coinciding with the shutdown

  4. Issue an arrest warrant for Mike Johnson in Arizona. 

  5. Quite literally taxation without representation. This was a cause for war for the founding fathers.

  6. All because Mike wants to protect his dear leader from the Epstein files.

  7. Every Johnson event – she and her staff and press should shadow them. Hound them. Constantly. Relentlessly.

  8. I thought Arizona was a red, maga state that helped Trump win the presidency?

  9. She should just sign the discharge petition and let the House figure it out.

  10. No taxation without representation. Arizonans shouldn’t pay federal taxes until thier rep is sworn in

  13. Conservatives love taxation without representation.

  14. Can’t imagine standing up for that long, her legs gotta be tired

  15. Yeah, everyone in Arizona just walking around frustrated by this…

  18. Sure seems like arizonians are experiencing taxation without representation. 

  20. Sounds like a case of taxation without representation

  21. The people of Arizona should file a class-action lawsuit for taxation without representation

  22. It feels like our government finds new ways to keep working against us

  23. What percentage of her term have her constituents been denied representation?

  24. Vote her in now.
    Trump = Treason, Pedophile
    Fight ICE with F.I.R.E
    FROG
    IDIOTIC
    RACISTS
    EVERYWHERE
    IMPEACH TRUMP NOW!!!

  25. I have been waiting 25 days for the Senate to do their job and pass a CR. Until they do that, the House is in recess and official business not being conducted. She has to wait. The lawsuit being pursued will fail because the issue is political procedure rather than legal requirement.

  26. They might wait in perpetuity. Nothing matters but Trumps will and he may just decide the government as we knew it is dead and gone. He is now the King. It’s fucking done. Less than 8 months.

  29. I know this is a political game, but I don’t get the problem. The constitution says she needs to take an oath. Not even what oath or how she has to take it. Just “an oath” Just do it on the capital steps. Take a video. Put it on YouTube. Done. Fuck the gop.

  31. Republicans are just being Republicans.

    Democrats need to get a judge to seat her. Stop dicking around and just ignore Johnson.

  34. I am wondering why the congresswoman-elect does not file a writ of mandamus. (Or did they?)

  35. That’s the new GOP tactic. Don’t confirm. After all, the only thing GOP hate less than black people, is democracy.

  37. Arizona is not gonna be happy in the midterms they’re just making it worse for themselves, stupid GOP

  38. Call that piece of crap Paul Gosar and ask him to step in. Also sign up for his emails just to see how crazy Maga people are

  39. So what is the endgame here?

    What happens if she still isn’t seated in one month or next year? What if she simply isn’t seated before the next election?

  40. Texas’ 18th district has been without since March 5 – almost 8 months!!
