Raskin with Jeffries: "It's an alarming situation where now we have many of these January 6 defendants who have been picked up on other defenses. The Department of Justice is not zealously prosecuting them for other crimes they have committed ... it's a very dangerous situation."

NEW: The State of Arizona sues the House of Representatives, demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson seat Adelita Grijalva or that someone else be allowed to swear her in. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Because there is no dispute as to Ms. Grijalva's election or qualifications, the Court should:
A. Issue a declaratory judgment stating that Ms. Grijalva shall be deemed a Member of the House of Representatives once she has taken the oath prescribed by law, see 5 U.S.C. § 3331;
B.
Issue a declaratory judgment stating that if Speaker Johnson has not administered
the oath, the oath may be administered to Ms. Grijalva by any person authorized by law to administer oaths under the law of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the State of
Arizona; and
C. Award other relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Dated: October 21, 2025
Respectfully submitted,
KRISTIN K. MAYES
Attorney General for the State of Arizona

Cost of the Argentina bailout Trump is trying to finance: $40B.

That same amount could fund almost two years of extended ACA subsidies, or two years of full SNAP benefits, or nearly all of the annual Medicare cuts from Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

Priorities.

Democratic congressional candidates nationwide, feeding off voter fury, are raging against their leadership and vowing ruthlessness against their own establishment.

"I am not a 'when they go low, we go high' kind of girl,” said TX state Rep. Jolanda Jones. “If they go low, I'm going to the gutter."

Enraged Democratic candidates turn on their leaders: "You've got to be able to fight ugly"

"If they go low, I'm going to the gutter," one Democratic House candidate said.

I just went to the House floor to demand that Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the GOP gaveled out without even recognizing us. We’re not going anywhere. I’m here with Leader Jeffries...

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.
