BIG NEWS: Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in as a member of Congress tomorrow.
She is likely to be the 218th vote on the Epstein discharge petition, which would force a full vote to release the Epstein files in their entirety.

Worth noting: a district judge ruled that the ban on trans service members was illegal and unconstitutional, as it was without rational basis and based on pure animus. She then refused to stay the order pending appeal.
SCOTUS lifted the stay, and the purge began.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.
Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

The Senate might fold, but I sure as hell won’t.
Families are getting crushed by rising costs & as these healthcare tax credits expire, it’s only going to get worse.
And now the Senate wants us to “trust” them to fix it later with a debate on a bill, maybe?
I’m a F-NO!
