Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. Ladies, it's fall. It's starting to get darker earlier. Make sure you fill up your gas tank before sunset. Keep an extra charger on you. Check your tires and oil. No bank runs at night. Park in well-lit areas. And stay the fuck away from vagina neck.

This reminds me of, back in the 80s or 90s, they passed a law (maybe it was a state law?) that you couldn't buy "seafood" on food stamps/SNAP. Some dumbass said ppl on SNAP were buying lobster. 🙄. Turns out, canned tuna is considered "seafood". That ban didn't last.

Re: Congressional representation for Arizona's Seventh Congressional District
Dear Speaker Johnson:
On behalf of the State of Arizona, I demand that the Honorable Adelita Grijalva be sworn
into office as the representative for Arizona's Seventh Congressional District and be allowed to assume her seat without further delay. Failing to seat Ms. Grijalva immediately or to otherwise provide a reasonable explanation as to when she will be seated will prompt legal action.
The House of Representatives' uniquely democratic function makes frustrating the will of the voters in selecting their representative particularly egregious. A member of the House of Representatives holds the only proportionally and directly elected position in the federal government, and "it is particularly essential that [the House] should have an immediate dependence on, and an intimate sympathy with, the people." The Federalist No. 52 (James Madison).|
The House's sole power to originate certain consequential matters, such as revenue
bills, follows from this status. See, e.g., The Federalist Nos. 58 (James Madison) (revenue); 65, 66, 81 (Alexander Hamilton) (impeachment).

As you know, on September 23, 2025, Arizona's Seventh Congressional District held a
special election to replace the late Raúl Grijalva. Ms. Grijalva was elected with nearly 70% of the vote, and unofficial results were provided to you by the Arizona Secretary of State. Ms. Grijalva and the State expected that you would follow your usual practice and swear her into office at the earliest opportunity, just as you had done with five previous members elected in special elections.
Specifically, you followed this process after Celeste Maloy was elected by Utah's Second District, after Vince Fong was elected by California's 20th District, after Jimmy Patronis was elected by Florida's First District, after Randy Fine was elected by Florida's Sixth District, and after James Walkinshaw was elected by Virginia's 11th District. Yet the House and its leadership have yet to swear Ms. Grijalva into office.
Today, the Arizona Secretary of State will complete the canvas and the Governor will transmit to the House a certificate of election. Ms. Grijalva no longer needs a House resolution to be sworn into office. With the House in possession of the certificate of election, it is now a simple ministerial duty to administer the oath of office.
The effect of your failure to follow usual practice is that Arizona is down a representative from the number to which it is constitutionally entitled. And the more than 813,000 residents of Arizona's Seventh Congressional District currently have no representation in Congress. The "loss of a Representative to the United States Congress undoubtedly satisfies the injury-in-fact requirement of Article III standing." Dep't of Com. v. United States House of Reps., 525 U.S. 316, 331 (1999). The question of entitlement to a seat in the House is justiciable and is not a political question. Powell v. McCormack, 395 U.S. 486, 522 (1969); see Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186, 217 (1962).

from the person they recently voted for, are not up for debate and may not be delayed or used as leverage in negotiations about unrelated legislation.
We thus demand that Ms. Grijalva be immediately sworn into office and admitted to her rightful seat. We ask that within two days of the date of this letter, you provide this Office with your assurance of when and where that will take place, which must be immediate and prior to the date the House comes back into regular session. Should you fail to provide such assurance, we will be forced to seek judicial relief to protect Arizona and the residents of its Seventh Congressional District.
Thank you for your attention and timely response,
Kristin K. Mayes
