I know there's a lot going on, but it's crazy that Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who won her election on Sept. 23. He could have done this at any time, even amid the government shutdown. But he won't. Unprecedented.

The day clownish Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton files a ridiculous, performative lawsuit against Tylenol seems a good day to re-post this:

It's been 35 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

In case you have forgotten.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Release the epstein files now! Redact ONLY the names and info of the victims/survivors. Return maxwell to a maximum security prison now! JUSTICE!

They are too afraid of having to swear in the new Congress woman and release the Epstein files.

Release the Epstein Files and stop the Epstein Shutdown.

Today would be a good day to release the Epstein Files.

Autism was acknowledged medically long before Tylenol was invented. Just stop this total BS and release all the Epstein files! #Voices4Victory #Pinks #DemVoice1

Distractions, distractions, distractions. RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES!

Squirrel! Nice try, but Congress does not have the authority to nullify presidential pardons. But, they do have the power to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES and swear Adelita Grijalva in.

Sharing history, while we still can! Black Americans have done amazing things, have created amazing things, and will continue to be amazing! youtu.be/OcqfGfjvAXo?...

It sickens me to think people are protecting rapists and sexual abusers. This world is so cruel to us women, especially the vulnerable and poor. 😢🥵 Release the Epstein files! Let Virginia Rest in Peace! 💔🙏💖 youtu.be/BJKPTymLsj8?...

Praying for Jamaica. Latest reports and forecasts suggest this hurricane is going to be devastating.

They are trying so hard to convince you that the party in control of the White House and both chambers of Congress isn’t to blame for what’s coming.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

Since Tr$mp has retaken office, nearly a million Americans have lost their jobs. That's the largest number of layoffs since 2020, during his previous term.

The fact that we are at a point where a reporter is asking the President of the United States about serving a third term shows just how far the country has fallen in just 9 months.

BREAKING: We're suing North Carolina over its congressional map that disenfranchises Black voters in the state. The newly passed map shifts thousands of Black voters out of their communities of representation.

I wish a reporter would ask Mike Johnson if he has any self-respect. But I suppose that would require a Capitol Hill reporter to have some self-respect too. Damnit.

The U.S. Constitution explicitly prohibits a third presidential term. We should be more concerned that this is openly being debated right now.

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

The Epstein Files must be very bad. The coverup is holding for now. When it breaks it will be very bad for Trump. The country will have to decide if a pedophile can be president.

Democrats have to learn to stop being polite and political about this and call it out, assertively, for what it is - Mike Johnson's attempt to keep the Epstein Files sealed.

Listen, everyone is having a laugh at Mike Johnson for continuously not knowing about current events but the man is laser-focused on his one job, not releasing the Epstein files.

"my theory of government is that the president — the unitary executive — can basically do whatever he wants" "so he can release the Epstein files?" "whoa there, slugger, let's not get ahead of ourselves"

So anyway… Epstein files?

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

No matter how long they delay, the country will see the Epstein files and Jack Smith’s testimony on Trump!

🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙 DISTRACTION!!😈 Release Epstein Files Release Epstein Files Release Epstein Files Release Epstein Files Release Epstein Files

Cool, voiding autopen authorizations. How about you get to that after swearing in Adelita Grijalva and releasing the Epstein files.

Must be makin’ big $ to float this rot. Is he in the Epstein files?

That's really his goal: for the House to forever shutdown so the Epstein files are never released.

Release the Epstein files. Justice for victims. Prison for vermin.

In your face Donald Trump ! Release the Epstein files

At this point, if our self-declared emperor dissolves Congress, how would we know? They haven't done a goddamn thing since passing the big bullshit bill except run from the Epstein files.

Congress, go back to work! Swear in Adelita Grijalva! Share the Epstein files! These are basic tenets of duty to your constituents. Please accomplish them, soon.

Speaker Mike Johnson Refuses to seat Representative Adelita Grijalva Because he is protecting Donald Trump From being exposed in the Epstein files #Corrupt #PedophileProtector #FakeChristian

Pt1, 8/17/25, 60 Minutes Australia #EpsteinFiles 🧐 Why is Donald Trump refusing to release the Epstein files? www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMIP...

Release the EPSTEIN files!

Bawadi has great food. This is a wonderful, generous offer by them to help government employees in the DMV who are without a paycheck due to the GOP shutting down the government rather than releasing the Epstein Files.

Release The Epstein Files. 📑
