Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes filed a lawsuit against House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Tuesday following a continuous refusal by Johnson to seat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva., D-Ariz.

The 17-page lawsuit filed in Washington on Monday seeks to compel Johnson to swear in Grijalva, or for another official in the House to do so. Mayes warns that allowing Johnson to avoid seating Grijalva would “thwart” the will of voters.

“This case is about whether someone duly elected to the House who indisputably meets the constitutional qualifications of the office,” Mayers wrote in the filing, “may be denied her rightful office simply because the Speaker has decided to keep the House out of ‘regular session.’”

Dems : maybe we shouldn't wreck healthcare anymore than it already is?

Republicans : WE WILL LITERALLY SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT AND STARVE YOU TO DEATH TO PROTECT A CHILD RAPIST AND SAVE BILLIONAIRES A COUPLE MIL ON TAXES!

You : These guys are basically the same, right?

You guys are kind of like rabid animals in this comment section. No wonder your politics are that black and white. ;) keep at it...

Here the thing. It really is that black and white. That kind of idiotic refusal to actually examine what the two parties stand for lead to a fascist being elected, twice. It lead to the removal of bodily rights for women. It lead to the persecution of lgbtq+ and non-white residents. It lead to a global tariff war and insane inflation. It lead to non-stop cronyism and grifting at the highest level of government. It leads to the DOJ openly targeting "enemies" of the president. And... We're only 9 months in to this shit. Republicans have other things on the docket, like waging open war on their own countrymen, rigging the election process, destroying any energy source that doesn't release millions of pounds of pollution into the air, abolishing social security and medicare, instituting christianity as a national religion.

You wanna know why we're acting like fucking animals? Because we're fucking tired of hearing bullshit like "it isn't black and white" and "both sides are the same" when it is clear as fucking day that there is a gap between them larger than the Grand fucking Canyon.
