Greene on the Epstein files: "I can't conclusively say that's why the House isn't in session, but the House should be in session...there is a new Democrat that's been elected that deserves to be sworn in...if it's to avoid the discharge petition, why drag this out? It's going to have 218 signatures"

A hyperrealistic image shows a shattered golden crown and a crushed orange spray can side by side on a concrete surface beneath a clear blue sky. White protest-style lettering reads “NO KINGS” above and “IN 10 DAYS” below, symbolizing rebellion against power and the countdown to an uprising.
