Mr. Prime Minister, shall we start now? Let's start, and let's start properly. What do you mean? Let's start everything. Can you be more careful? Let's start clothes, let's start equipment, let's start equipment. I mean, all outdoor sports and free time. Now I understand. Maybe you understand numbers better. Budgesport is now even below 60%. So... Exactly. Budgesport.fi.
Hey, MAGA Mike Johnson, you're about to get served with a lawsuit. You saw right there the Democratic congressional delegation marching in lockstep to MAGA Mike Johnson's speaker office, demanding that Adelita Grijalva, the congresswoman elect from Arizona's 7th Congressional District finally be sworn in. MAGA Mike is unlawfully preventing her from being sworn in. Now Arizona's Attorney General is saying, MAGA Mike, I'm about to sue you. What you are doing is violating the law and Arizona is about to lay the smackdown on you. The attorney general from Arizona says, take a look right here, MAGA Mike. We have the official certificate of election for Adelita Grijalva. She's been officially certified in Arizona, even though she won by over 40%.
40 points, and you've previously have sworn in people in pro forma session who've won by much smaller margin. It was not a contested outcome. We all knew that she was going to win. By the way, Mega Mike, even Marjorie Taylor Greene says that you are a weak, Pathetic little man, Marjorie Taylor Greene right there. But here's the letter that was sent by Arizona Democratic Attorney General Kristen Mays to MAGA Mike Johnson. Here's what she says. On behalf of the state of Arizona, Maga Mike Johnson, I added Maga Mike Johnson, 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. We're gonna sue your ass, Maga. Mike is basically what Attorney General for Arizona Chris Mays is saying. The House of Representatives uniquely democratic function makes frustrating the will of the voters in selecting their representatives particularly egregious. A member of the House of Representatives holds the only proportionally and directly elected position in the federal government. And, quote, it is particularly essential that the House should have an immediate dependence on and an infinite and an intimate sympathy with the people. Federalist paper number 52, James Madison cited, the House's sole power to originate certain consequential matters such as revenue bills follows this status.
What lawsuit is MAGA Mike Johnson facing from the Arizona Attorney General?
Then she cites Federalist number 58, 65, 66, 81, Alexander Hamilton cited there as well. As you know, MAGA Mike Johnson, on September 23rd, 2025, I'm adding, by the way, MAGA Mike Johnson, As you know, on September 23rd, 2025, Arizona's 7th Congressional District held a special election to replace the late Raul Grijalva. Ms. Grijalva was elected with nearly 70% of the vote, and unofficial results were provided to you by the Arizona Secretary of State.
Why are Democrats demanding Adelita Grijalva's swearing-in?
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. We're mostly all Republican. Specifically, you followed that process with Celeste Malloy, who was elected to Utah's second district, after Vince Fong was elected by California's 20th district, after Jimmy Petronas was elected by Florida's first district, and after Randy Fine was elected by Florida's sixth district, And after James Walkinshaw, the only Democrat there, 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.
