There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

The Az attorney general filed a lawsuit yesterday.
-
Nowhere is it written that he needs to swear her in. Any notary can do it.
-
The stench might be from the lack of a fight from the dems in 2016 as there is a lack of a fight now from the dems. Dems always seem to take it up the ^#%$ from the repubs and like it.
-
The AG of AZ already has, I believe.
-
File a lawsuit with the ruling class against the ruling class that'll work
-
That stink started long before this. This is just the most current and one of the most outrageous actions or no actions by Johnson.
-
Agreed. Johnson doesn't speak for anyone but Trump..Hopefully his constituents see what a waste he is as speaker and they vote him out. No Kings USA. No Tyranny
-
Exactly. We need action
-
Or when RBG’s deathbed wish was denied and Amy Coney Barrett ascended.
-
I appreciate the reminder not to white-wash Mitch McConnell and what he did as Senate Leader in his final days as a living human being.
Fuck that guy. May he live in eternity with the knowledge of how badly he fucked up

-
Regardless of whether or not a President is sworn in, their term begins regardless. Does it work the same for Congress?
-
There is a BIG difference. Her position is not a nomination, she won in an election and was voted in by the people. This should be illegal. It’s taxation without representation . If she is not voted in,

Here is what Mikey is trying and soon failing to avoid: He swears in Adelita Grijalva, She becomes the 218th signature to release Epstein files, Trump is publicly named in the documents, The phone call comes from the King Baby saying, "Mike, You're Fired!" This is the real reason for the shutdown.
-
Believe Az did
-
Fascists only pay attention to favourable court rulings, everything else is judicial treason.
-
I believe Kris Mayes is suing Mike Johnson to get him to open congress and swear her in!
-
and hence the bathroom renovations
-
McConnell should have been impeached for refusing to do his sworn duty... Dem's should at least try to censure Johnson for refusing to do his sworn duty!
-
Big difference.
Grijalva is entitled to be sworn in. Not to mention the probable motive for not swearing her in is horrific.
But no nominee is entitled to a hearing.
-
Where we are at is exactly what Mitchie put into place. He owns the destruction of our democracy and the removal of law and order.
-
There should not be a Senate or a Supreme Court or even a presidency. Try that on for size!
-
Arizona is on it. The AZ Attorney General is drawing up the lawsuit.
-
FILE IT NOW
-
Yes, please!
-
The House Clerk, or a Supreme Court Justice can swear her in. They are making a bunch of nonsense drama. The Weasel of the House should never be asked again to swear in any Democrat.
-
What about the lady who refused to allow an orderly transfer to the Biden administration after he won in 2020? I hope she saw consequences for her actions.
-
Yes unlike 2016 there was an end date. Are they not going to swear her in for a few years? They are working MTG and that bimbo from CO. What's her name? Bobart? One or both will fold.
-
But it’s not his fault!
-
@azagmayes.bsky.social is suing
-
Didn’t Pelosi do the same thing? I heard 25 days somewhere but could be wrong.
-
Bigger stink in senate with Schumer holding the government hostage for illegals
-
GET A FEDERAL JUDGE TO SWEAR HER IN!!
-
It’s been non-stop stench since Jan
-
That stink is coming from Mike Johnsons car. It reeks from those Epstein files rotting in the trunk next to the dead hooker and what used to be a live boy
-
It didn’t work out well for republicans then either….. Right?
-
This topic is on my poster tomorrow. She is vote #218 regarding the release of the Epstein files.
-
Democrats in Congress you have to force Mike Johnson to swear on AZ new Senator Adelina Grijalva. Her constituents voted for her to represent them in DC.
DO SOMETHING NOW!
-
It's clearly illegal and unconstitutional. Consult Article I of the Constitution, and the Supreme Court in Powell v. McCormack, for details.
-
There is not going to be a lawsuit because they won't reopen the govt. ICE is going to absorb these agencies, and lack of action by congress is going to be justification to neuter it (congress) further. He already established precedent by pulling funds for payroll. This isn't normal business.
-
What would be the point? It will end up in your Supreme Court who will ignore all constitutional norms and precedents and side with Johnson anyways.
-
Why is this possible, legal, and tolerated? Because cowardice is the mode of the day.
-
So, now Democrats are upset that Republicans are doing to them what they've done to Republicans in the past? 😂😂😂😂
-
There is a stink emanating from all Republicans, smells like CORRUPTION.
-
Now remember, that's to swear her in, and let her cast a vote that that will allow a vote the speaker doesn't want. Nothing else. That's stupidly greedy sad.
-
The Democrats have to learn you can’t fight these scumbags by playing by the rules. Rules mean zip to Johnson and his ilk. When we get the power back we must get creative.
-
Sooner or later the Republicans will have to do the government's business!
-
Birds of a feather flock together.

Why do Americans think that suing people is the answer to everything?
-
Yes...it should be in a court.
-
Libs gettin’ owned, as per usual.
-
Open the government!
-
one was filed- after talking about it for days. AZ atty gen, I believe.

Democrats are you listening? Fucking do something!👇

-
I guess they figure we'll get over it. Again.
-
Why can't Supreme Court member Jackson swear her in?
-
And to think little Mike is second in line for the presidency after Vance.
-
If a conservative, Republican inhabits any house, as the House of Reps, or the Senate, or any other house, then, yes, a stink will emanate from it. A big stink. No getting around that. That's the smell of moral and intellectual rot. Of greed, dishonesty, chicanery, corruption.

Arizona AG is working on it.

Arizona Democrats drafting lawsuit against House GOP leader
The legal action comes as the top House Republican vows not to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until the government is reopened.
-
I smell Epstein!!
-
GOPniks' stinking johnson.
-
It is in Process
-
Politicians who are NOT doing their job but just REFUSE to do their job should be KICKED out of their job!
Get rid of them!
Kick them out of office!
-
Sadly, both may work. We know McConnell was able to take a Supreme Court seat without much fuss. No one did anything but complain.
-
Also, FAFO. Payback is a bitch.
-
As of October 18 2025 the Attorney General Kris Mayes is drafting such a lawsuit against Mike Johnson.
-
Open the government
-
AZ filed!
-
And they won. Hope that doesn’t happen again those who are not upholding constitution needs to be removed from office!!!!
-
Or find a fucking loophole. The same way the GOP has governed since McConnell
-
I agree. It's the same stink wafting in again.
-
The Constitution and the normal processes of this government have never meant anything to Republicans unless they gain from from subverting them. The Constitution has been in their way since King Richard Nixon was anointed their deranged savior and ever since then they've been hollowing it out.
-
I think your whole political system needs fixing.
-
Mike Johnson needs to be removed for dereliction of duty!
-
I know there are lawsuits being prepared, but this is governed by internal House rules.
I’m not sure there is anything to be done. The judicial branch cannot order the legislative branch around.
-
-
conspiracy to deny voters their rights
-
AMEN TO THAT!!!
Forget "congressional decorum" or whatever it's called, it is time to file for ABUSE OF OFFICE, and whatever else a good attorney can come up with...
-
Release the Epstein files. Also little Johnson what’s your Grindr nickname? Asking for a friend.
-
It sure seems that they, the GOP, are making a sport out of corruption.
See the pardon of George Santos as proof positive.
-
Agree 100%
-
Arizona AG is working on it.
-
Why are we still talking about this? Action please!
-
ASAP
-
Sadly the stinky parties usually win in America
-
They all believe in law & order…for everyone except them!
-
Democrats
-
Lawsuit is just a waste of time and effort.
-
-
Are you sure it wasn’t a Trumpian visit while soiling his diapers…
-
Isn’t a lawsuit the duty of @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ?????? Lazy. Incompetent
-
It's the Anti-Democracy stench from the gang that is formerly known as the Republican party.
-
The last I heard there are 200 lawsuits pending against Trump and congress, as usual the legal system struggles to cope with it. As noted this is The McConnell Ploy Part Two.
-
They were in session today? From what I gather they are now working at home until the 26th?
-
-
That's the beauty of the Streisand effect: the harder you try to hide something, the worse it gets. It is an exquisitely inescapable dilemma once trapped.
-
At this point America is a failed state masquerading as a democracy. I still dont understand how America functions with this system.
-
Truth!
-
Yep. He's waiting for the King's permission.
-
Hooray ! - I, a total unknown whose words will remain unseen, wrote a post on this. But it was to ask how come the Speaker has such untrammeled power. I WANT TO UNDERSTAND !!!
-
-
Her district should file one.👍🏼
-
I will file a lawsuit. Tell me what to do. I’m so done with these fools.
-
Surely it is illegal not to swear in a democratically elected representative. If it is not then the USA is not a democracy.
-
Can’t we all file? Nobody in any state is being represented by our elected officials. Surely this is a violation of something.

Trump Says He Is Commuting George Santos’s Fraud Sentence
-
Laws broken, Constitution violated! Article II, Section 4, of the Constitution.
-
There is a EPSTEIN FILES from the House of Reps.
-
On the bright side, Rep-elect Grijalva has been given national exposure by the GOP, something a million dollars couldn’t buy. Keep talking Adelita!
-
DC must smell like a manure compost pile in NOLA in mid-July about now from all tiny hands & tiny wormhole’s bullshit. Must be ghastly for 8th grad field trips…
-
"Lawsuit"
-
What the hell are they waiting for?
-
Exactly, subversion of the will of the PEOPLE!
-
Hot take: The swearing in should not be required for elected representatives! 🔥
-
But Mitch had discretion=immunity. This is non-discretionary and ministerial, so Mike has no immunity from a challenge to make him act (injunctive relief)
-
👍👍👍
-
These traitors need to be stopped immediately!!!
-
We stay in our political boxes
The only ones filing anything are doing it on their own with The People paying for our own + Congress inaction after oversight & NO LAWS for us+Executive & SCOTUS abuse+all lawsuits settled in Civil Court+all dropped Criminal cases+all falsely accused Criminal cases
-
I think that stench might be the underarm sweat from Dollar Store Obama upon realizing his leadership days are likely numbered.
-
I'm glad you said that. I was thinking that earlier, Johnson vs McConnell. So true.
-
👍
-
Trump-sucking Johnson accuses her of not doing her job when that lying POS has not sworn her in.
-
Start calling out the Republicans as the party of "Crime and Chaos."
-
💯🎯💯🖕🍊💩
-
Agree
-
#NoKings #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
-
Fool us once...
-
In hindsight I’m glad Merrick Garland wasn’t appointed… he has no backbone
-
And sue MIkey Moses Johnson personally. Take his offshore bank account money. Take all his pornhub money. Take it all. Or -- he could do his damn job.
-
The AG in Arizona did or is going to, so she’s on it. Just read that today.
-
-
If the toilets in congress were all suddenly backed up, the halls of Congress would literally be full of shit because all the plumbers are furloughed.
-
This is a test case for the future when he'll refuse to seat incoming democrats after 2028 elections.
-
She did I think.
-
I think she should just follow him around with a Bible for the next few days.
-
He’s buying time for them to scratch tRUMPs name 🤬
-
👍🏻 We are here today bc DEMS didn’t Fight that Fight hard enough.
-
Someone? Anyone? From the dems we get crickets. Most worthless government in modern history!
-
Arizona AG has already said she’ll sue Johnson …
-
One person should not have total control over The House. Period. Johnson has refused to bring several bipartisan bills to a floor vote. That is denying us representation
-
It's shit.... Same GOP... Same shit, different day.
-
And Johnson should note that we are still calling McConnell on the carpet for that move. People don't forget.
-
Just what we need, another lawsuit.
-
I think Arizona has.
-
stinkies abound on both sides of the aisle imo
-
Maybe if they the dems would quit trying to give Healthcare to illegals they could end the Shumer Shitdown and get it done.
-
As I understand it, the AZ AG is suing based on taxation without representation.
-
I believe the AG of Arizona is doing just that.
-
Absofuckinglutely
-
There has been a stench since 1/20
-
Arizona is.
-
Lawsuits will not stop this. A vote will not stop this. Protests will not stop this. At some point, people will have to rise up. Who knows if America has it in them.
-
Those pedoFILES must be something 👀
-
I'm curious why no federal judge has stepped up to swear her in. Any number of sworn in officials can do it. It doesn't have to be Mikey Johnson, and it's not necessarily up to just him.
-
There should be a plan B. This guy has been rogue since 2022. Get creative lawmakers - ya look weak and ineffective
-
History echoes
-
I get so sick of Democrats getting caught in these situations. Do they have no pull at all???????? JFC.
-
In a court that is not bought and owned by maga!
-
♨️..🤢
-
I think there’s one surfacing among her constituents.
They are not fully represented; she doesn’t have an equipped, staffed, functioning office — that’s why Johnson has pivoted to “she can work.”
Y’all realize that the shutdown has to last until after the Nov4th elections, right?
-
Arizona threatened to sue. WHY? JUST SUE HIM! You threatened 3 days ago, Arizona!
-
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social when are you going to take action and file the lawsuit @raskin.house.gov @aclu.org @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @judiciarydems.senate.gov
-
I loathe that man so much. McConnell is the reason that we have Trump and the most effed up SCOTUS. There is surely a special place in Hell for him.
-
May Mike Johnson also start suffering from frequent falls and absence seizures...
-
Or…just ask a Federal Judge to do it.
-
They just need to bring in a judge to swear her in.
-
I think we are missing the bigger picture. What if this is all part of the Republican plan to never swear in ANY elected Democrat? If it is somehow legal to not swear in Adelita Grijalva, why not the same for ANY democrat? This could be one of the end game ideas the GOP has for keeping power.
-
American politics, right now, stinks 🙄.
-
I agree. It stinks because it is illegal.
-
Lotta' stench, to be sure. So much stench. #RESIST
-
AZ attorney general is!
-
Would make for a great compare/contrast college paper.
-
Walk her to a federal judge for swearing in. Li’l Johnson is not needed here. That’s protocol and ceremony, not mandated.
-
Agreed
-
Someone in her state is filing a suit against Johnson
-
AZ AG preparing to do it.
-
AG of AZ is threatening to sue

Same piece of rotting cabbage. Lose the SourKraut
