Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.
Why the delay?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.
And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.
Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Trump’s regime wants to put AI in charge of deciding which Medicare patients receive care — and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong, and Congress must take action. 👇

This vile administration tried to deport children, in the middle of the night, to Guatemala.
CHILDREN!
CHILDREN!
Judge: I got a call at 2:36 a.m. because the govt chose this time on a holiday weekend to execute this plan. I have been up since then. I haven't been able to reach anyone from govt until this morning at 9:30 a.m. So absent this intervention, all children would already have been sent to Guatemala!
