Spare us the patronizing 'bless her heart' comments. It took Speaker Johnson less than 24 hours to swear in his Republican colleagues.

He’s stalling because he’s scared of his puppet master Donald Trump.

This delay isn’t about process. It’s about obstruction. #ReleaseTheFiles

This delay is not procedural, it is intentional. Speaker Johnson is doing everything in his power to shield this administration from accountability.

My constituents want me to get to work but House Republicans are more concerned about protecting the Epstein files.

Day 2 in D.C. and #AZ07 is still left without a vote and voice here in Washington.

Every day that Speaker Johnson delays is another day Southern Arizonans are left without a voice in Congress and without essential in-district services. With federal budget negotiations happening now, our community deserves a seat at the table – not partisan obstruction.

The fact that Southern Arizona is being treated differently raises serious questions about political motivations – especially since I have pledged to become the 218th signature on the discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein files.

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

24 years ago, our nation was shaken by the deadliest terror attack on American soil. We remember the lives lost, honor the first responders who answered the call, and carry forward the spirit of unity and service. #NeverForget911

Another school shooting in America. 2 kids killed, 17 injured, this time in a church at a Catholic school in Minneapolis.

No more thoughts & prayers. We need action— real gun safety reforms.

Protect kids. Not guns. #EnoughIsEnough

Adelita Grijalva: Republicans are currently advancing a bill that cuts $716 billion from Medicaid to pay for enormous tax handouts to millionaires and billionaires. 750,000 Arizonans would lose their health insurance if their bill becomes law...Our community wants Republicans' Hands Off Medicaid!
