Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

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.

    There’s a legal challenge in the works right now. The system takes time and humans need to do things like sleep and eat.

      Great! And once that happens, there’s going to be zero penalty for Mike Johnson not doing his job. I’m not saying it’s a good strategy. I’m saying it’s all they got.
