Adelita Grijalva is Arizona’s newest congresswoman-elect, but she still hasn’t been sworn in by House Speaker Mike Johnson.
She took to social media on Thursday to have some fun with the situation and give a tour of her new congressional office, which she can’t use because she has no resources.
“Check out this super cool printer! I can't print with it though, because I don't have a government email,” Grijalva quipped in a video. “So, in the office we have several desktops. They have an administrator passcode. … I don’t have that.”
Keys to the office? Check! ✅

Grijalva won the Congressional District 7 election in September, but Johnson has said he won’t swear her in until the House comes back in session. He said that won’t happen until Democrats back off on their demands and help reopen the government.
The standoff between Democrats and Republicans is largely over Affordable Care Act credits and has caused a government shutdown.
Democrats want to ensure that the credits will be extended and health care premiums won’t shoot up, but Republicans say the issue isn’t pressing.
