Does this mean that Mike Johnson is delaying swearing in Grijalva and voting on the shutdown deal until 11/21? This is from “Dome Watch.” Can someone help clarify? I’m not seeing this reported anywhere. Thank you!

Another election update: progressive candidates Shilpa Prem and Jay Arnold have TAKEN THE LEAD in their races for the Kirkland City Council after previously being behind. So much for that reactionary anti-growth backlash in Kirkland.
