Today marks yet another day that Speaker Mike Johnson has denied Adelita Grijalva her right to govern.
She won her special election on Sept 23rd but has yet to be sworn in.
Why? Because she will become the 218th vote needed to discharge the release of the Epstein files.

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.
Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reportedly Finds Trey Reed Didn’t Die by Suicide — Family Attorney Ben Crump Hasn’t Confirmed
