Thank you, @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social, for persisting! Your constituents, fellow Arizonans, and Democrats are outraged at how poorly you are being treated. The Speaker is way out of line!
🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.
