Leader Jeffries: Republicans don't want to call us back into session, because that would require that Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva be sworn in, and she will be the 218th signature needed to trigger a vote on the release of the Epstein files

The fact that this coming 9 days before the largest peaceful protest in modern American history is absolutely intentional. We will not back down. Trump and Miller can lie, smear, and threaten all they want. They will lose. No Kings, No Kings, No Kings. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...
