Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., signed a petition Wednesday to force a House vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, giving it the needed 218 signatures.

Grijalva was sworn in as the newest member of Congress on Wednesday, more than seven weeks after she won a special election in Arizona to fill the House seat last held by her late father.

    Thank you for making this explicit and clear. Anyone realistically hoping for any other outcomes is just blind to what has happened to the US government.

    I want these released, but when I see people thinking this is somehow the answer to all of the injustice instigated by the executive branch, I’m dumbfounded.

      They could find pics and/or video of Pedonald ballz deep in someone underage, and most of his cult will just declare that it is “AI” or “fake news” and continue to support him like the nutless cult members they are.

      I hope a lot of people wake up after this is all over and realize that their ideas that there is such thing as “law” have been woefully misguided and naive.

      There is no such thing as law, at least not “blind” law, it’s just a way they make poor people feel okay because law applies to other poor people as well. But it’s always been like this, people in positions of power are almost always immune to the laws that they write and control. We are not a better species, we are not evolved.

      I think if more people understood this, we might choose our leadership with more care.
