Six weeks ago, I was elected to Congress. I'm still waiting to be sworn in.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s recess of the U.S. House of Representatives during a time of grave national crises is shockingly irresponsible. House Republicans have been on vacation for six weeks while our economy crumbles, federal workers go without paychecks, health care premiums skyrocket and funding for food stamps dwindles. This is negligent and cruel.

Vote! Vote! Get out and vote!

The people voted. Nothing is moving. What options are left?

The uncomfortable option(s), are what's left. Those option(s) will get drastically more uncomfortable with each day passing. Good luck, US.

give mike Johnson a better excuse to not do his job.

I am usually not a fan of witholding taxes (I do think we should invest more taxes into social services and less in defense and none in company subsidies or bailouts), but Arizona really should consider witholding federal taxes until they have representation. Money talks.

That's unfortunately not how that works, federal taxes are not held by the state but paid directly to the country, there's no way for the state to withhold it.

Guess who's the biggest employer in the state and also pays a shitton of federal employer payroll taxes.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

The state can withhold the taxes from employees if the state though. Wouldn't be insignificant

The next three boxes are jury, soap, and ammo. I suspect it will come to the last one

A legal challenge that forces his hand. Plus, some Republicans actually want to know the the truth about the Epstein thing.
