This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Sanae Takaichi is set to become Japan’s first female prime minister. As of July 2025, 65 countries have had a woman serve as either president or prime minister. She makes it 66. Why is America so far behind with zero?? Let’s pass #ERA and elect a woman. Tell me who you’d support.

Join me on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Sunday at 7:30 am. I’m wearing a paper clip #JillsPin, a WW2 symbol of resistance to the Nazi regime and being “bound together” against the occupation of Norway. Seems relevant now as we resist the slide to authoritarianism and try to protect the rule of law.

Here’s why it is unjust to proceed with this case — it lack evidence for probable cause and is a tyrant’s tactic to punish those who do not sign loyalty oath to him.

It's like Sat Night Massacre because here president Trump accidentally publicly posted instructions to AG, fired USAtty who refused to ask for indictment, replaced him with a personal atty who would, & got it. In #Watergate, Nixon fired AG & Deputy to get someone to carry out his firing order.

Comey indictment signed by novice after career prosecutors tell her the evidence does not support it and after she replaces career prosecutor who wouldn't do it for that reason. The beginning of the end of the rule of law. President cannot pick defendants as tyrants do.

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

Kimmel is back. Destruction of 1stA and authoritarian rule averted (for now). And it’s due to the power of we, the people. Same public protest that got Nixon out of office may succeed here too. Keep up the fight. #Reist.

Could pay hush $ and burglars because campaign donations could come from anywhere and be used for anything. That is why campaign finance laws were passed and helped until SCOTUS said it violated corporations’ rights as people and that —>huge $ & that —>corruption but DOJ won’t prosecute.
