If Adelita Grijalva was a Republican, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago to the office she was elected to. If she wasnāt the deciding signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files, Mike Johnson would have sworn her in long ago. All his bs excuses are lies.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

If it was possible to pick up Republican voters at scale by being more moderate and representing the center of politics, we would've won 2016 & 2024, and 2020 would've been a massive blowout creating a Congressional supermajority. It doesn't work in a polarized electorate!

Let's be clear what this image represents. Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders. THAT is the reference here.
