No, I am not giving Grijalva a pass. He missed most of last year yet chose to run for reelection.

He never should have run for reelection That was selfish on his part to think that only he could represent the district

He needs to resign today

I just called Mullin’s office. They are answering and taking messages.

Grijalva got a cancer diagnosis last year and still chose to run again. He doesn't get a pass.

fernetbronco.bsky.social•114 days ago

Plus he reps a solidly blue district. (He got 63% in 2024). Any decent Dem candidate could have won

At age 77!

Cannot understand why anyone wants to die working. Use the last moments of your life taking care of yourself and enjoying your family.

blackstarblues.bsky.social•114 days ago

I said the same thing to my parents about Alcee Hastings. Left his district hanging for nigh on a year because he wouldn't step down.

pragmaticripple.bsky.social•114 days ago

Exactly

laurendouglas.bsky.social•114 days ago

Agreed

livinglife81.bsky.social•114 days ago

Wasn't aware of that. Ok yeh, no pass!

rahirah.bsky.social•114 days ago

Grijalva hasn't voted in a year, and ran for office again in 2024 knowing he wouldn't be able to vote for a long time if ever. He knew damned well he wasn't capable of performing the duties of his office, and should have let someone have his safe blue seat. No pass for him.

That's bs on Pettersen. Dems advocate for proper maternity leave. She is entitled to the time off. Even a routine c-section would require several weeks to be really back in the saddle.

chokoreetob.bsky.social•114 days ago

Ok sure but there’s a constitutional fucking crises occurring. She’s gotta figure it out.

shellyfriedland.bsky.social•114 days ago

The republic doesn't stand or fall based on this vote.

chokoreetob.bsky.social•114 days ago

Yes but $800 billion in Medicaid funding might.

shellyfriedland.bsky.social•114 days ago

Why not the same arguments for the men with medical issues then?

chokoreetob.bsky.social•114 days ago

Where did you discern that I am not arguing the same for men? I advocated for Dwight Evans to resign last year when he missed nearly all his term with a stroke.

charlesgaba.com•114 days ago

If any of them, male or female, have medical conditions which make it risky for them to fly in for the vote I agree they shouldn’t.

Folks in Miami need to be finding Wilson

joekatz45.bsky.social•114 days ago

Mullin's excuse seems to be "I'll hobble around for the final vote but not the rule" which seems forgivable to me

indeliblesasha.bsky.social•114 days ago

You have no idea the wreck that childbirth causes, and the time it takes to recover from even a routine delivery.

But anyway.

Wilson is 82 and holding on to power and woefully inept

oscarbob.bsky.social•114 days ago

According to Andrew Solender (on X) Wilson is now on the floor.
