Friendly reminder that we elected representative Adelita Grijalva and that Congress still refuses to actually swear her in after nearly a month.
Prepare to receive a poop emoji in response to your vote.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Not congress. Mike Johnson. The dude who watches what his son jerks off to. Also, where are the Epstein Files?
Republicans. Every Republican supports it by keeping Johnson as their leader.
I don't believe this cos I think the kid is straight. There's no way Moses Mike likes any of that.
Dems: yeah! Woo! We flipped two seats to D!
Every red state: Ok so we redrew the districts, we now have 2647277243 extra R seats.
NOT if there's anything WE can do About it!
-The DNC!
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory world champions 40+ years running
Until the election using the republican owned voting machines. Then we’ll see who will be in charge, again.
When it comes to American elections ... I lost faith in their political leaders a long time ago .... I also lost faith in the people doing the electing ... or not doing the electing ... or just plain not doing anything to stop this train wreck of a nation.
If you think you've already lost, you only assure that loss is guaranteed. Every step of the fight, you need to think, pretend, you have a chance. Few people are willing to join a movement that's already lost. People must never stop fighting and believing.
Just as long as nothing else complicates the next elections! 🤭
