Why not the 'pro-wearing dead babies faces' party?

Completely untrue. For most people, the districts are already cooked. Voting is largely irrelevant for a vaste swathe of the population. There are only at most 50 competitive districts for the House. Senate? 6 possible seats.

Hint: none in my district or state.

There are 3 steps
1. Swear the oath
2. File with the clerk
3. Go to the floor and attempt to vote (they won't let her, but then there will be an actual debate about WHY they won't let her, and Dems can say 'Epstein Epstein Epstein!!'}

Besides, this is prep for Jan 2027 when they refuse to seat 6 or 7 Democrats because of 'irregularities'. We have to pressure test the system now. Right now.

I know! Dems keep acting like there is a 'process' when the GOP have exploded the process over and over for their own benefit. But we have to abide by it? F that.

Is there anyone here from Leader Jeffries' district? Non-constituents carry little weight with messages to staff. Anyone out there who lives in his district?

Chief Joe @chiefjoer.bsky.social · 2h

I've sent a message to Jeffries staff. But messages from non-constituents don't carry much weight. I'm going to reach out to see if anyone is from his district.

Regarding the new Congresswoman from Arizona, who Speaker Johnson won't swear in. Please, Democrats, do something proactive instead of complaining.

Chief Joe @chiefjoer.bsky.social · 3h

Jeffries should swear her in. He has the authority to do it. It’s not customary, but who gives a fuck they’re the ones who broke custom. Swear her in, file with clerk, march her to the floor, and let them freak out. It’s time we did something to make them react. I mean, wtf Dems are so useless.

Chief Joe @chiefjoer.bsky.social · 3h

I will be honest. It probably won't work.
BUT! It's time we made THEM react, make THEM scramble desperately, make them answer dozens of embarrassing questions about Epstein and why they won't seat her.

I know! YES! IT PROBABLY WON'T WORK. THAT'S NOT THE POINT, RIGHT?
Make them work for it! Make them scramble desperately, and make them all answer embarrassing Epstein questions.

Translation: yes it’s about Epstein

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing
