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.

I would say judges should be the ones to swear in all elected officials in the federal government as in theory they are meant to be nonpartisan and unaffiliated but we all know that isn't the reality of the situation. No party should be able to directly stop the action of any elected official based purely on their party affiliation or political platform. Even better still, elected individuals should be sworn in before the election results roll in and should take office the same day the election results are finalized.

That shitty rule needs to be changed. One wins the election and the Speaker of the House should be available for the swearing in process.

DEPUTIZE American Patriots . We will be your armed escorts to and from the House Floor. This shit needs to end and the only way it ends is with a huge show of FORCE. Force little Mike to swear her in.
