Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), who waited seven weeks to be sworn in to Congress, took aim at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for his quick ceremony for a new Republican congressman from Tennessee.

Johnson swore in Rep. Matt Van Epps (R-TN) Thursday after the Trump-backed candidate won a special election by nine points against progressive state lawmaker Aftyn Behn (D). Grijalva, who famously waited nearly 50 days for her own swearing-in, posted a C-SPAN video of Johnson and Van Epps to X, writing, “Less than 48 hours after winning… must be nice.”

Grijalva won a special election to fill her late father’s seat on Sept. 23, but Johnson refused to integrate her into the House until after the government shutdown, which lasted until Nov. 10.

Her supporters claimed Johnson kept Grijalva officially out of office because she had vowed to cast the 218th vote needed to release the Jeffrey Epstein files. Johnson’s stalling prompted a lawsuit filed by Arizona’s attorney general that argued the Speaker was obligated to act.

[GiqueCee]

2. I wouldn't...

... shake hands with "Moses" Mike before I'd had the shots. What a sanctimonious piece of shit.

[no_hypocrisy]

7. Yeah...

That nasty cheap stuff that you can smell long before he get across the room and lingers for a while after he leaves... and then you have to go wash your hands to get it off you. Like oobleck.

4. Rules for thee, but not for me.

IOKIYAR.

5. Terrible headline

Makes it sound like Mike Johnson is a "House Dem".

[Botany]

8. Grindr Mike is as un-American as it gets.

He doesn't give a shit about how it looks
as long as he services the rich and the
Republican powers that be.

9. Hopefully in Jan. of 2026 Johnson will be

told by the new House speaker, whomever that might be, "yeah, I'm going to need you to move down to the basement."
