@muellershewrote.com Allison, question, since you're good at finding things out:
I believe the Speaker must swear in new members. But does the House need to be in session for that?
Johnson is speaker, in session or not, can he do it any time?
if rules allow it, Grijalva should demand it now.

@olbermann.bsky.social I'm not a big follower of the Sports Ball, but I hear there was a bit of a kerfuffle about a Los Angeles Doddlers game where an immigrant guy horked 17 home runarounds and spiked out 237 battlers in one game.

There's a very strong argument that the failures of Democrats and liberals to halt the authoritarian takeover comes down to them spending 25 years building an ideology & media infrastructure designed to avoid accepting or even acknowledging the truth of this one FDR quote.

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.
