It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.
Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.
Want to know why?
Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.
Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
