BREAKING: Rep. Adelita Grijalva signs the Epstein discharge petition, serving as the 218th vote to force the bill to the floor for a full vote of the House.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva said two victims of Epstein's abuse were in the gallery to watch her be sworn in: Elizabeth Stein and Jessica Michaels.
 
"Justice cannot wait another day," she said, referencing the Epstein files discharge petition.

A reminder that the crises routinely treated as separate—housing, food, climate, healthcare, electricity—are anything but.

This moment in America makes it glaringly clear: each feeds the other, driven by the same rapacious, profit-maximizing forces.

Said it before, will say it again, the Epstein Files are THE story.

Not the only story, but it's the story which can and will weaken and possibly bring down Trump and now the GOP and even many powerful man who have escaped accountability for years.

Keep pushing and digging.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied about Trump never going to Epstein's house (directly contradicted by her email correspondence with Epstein), and she was rewarded for that lie with a transfer to a cushier prison. The coverup is happening in plain sight.

🗣🗣🗣BUT HIS EMAILS

probably something an innocent man would do

“would you like photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?” -Jeffrey Epstein

The White House is now saying that October jobs and inflation data will "likely never be released" — blaming the government shutdown.

The House Republicans continue to protect a pedophile sex trafficking ring and all their friends who were involved.

Not surprising, but hilarious on a day when the GOP is insisting that a partial release of emails was meant to smear the innocent President.

Why keep hiding the files then?

Trump’s buddy barrack an Epstein buddy too

Yes there's a lot of denial, but I've seen it: when it snaps, it snaps hard.

"Powerful men covered up child sex abuse" isn't outlandish when you've seen that happen in church, boy scouts, school athletics, and every other social pillar of your conservative middle-class life in the past few decades.

The irony of Trump dismissing the Epstein files as a “hoax”, usurping the power of Congress, and trampling on the DOJ’s independence is that any attempt to stop the release of files only adds to the appearance of a cover up.

Trump's desire for control could be his undoing.

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out

Both of them took as a given that this was a fact in a private email

Wow, Mike Johnson is apparently aware of the emails the House Democrats have released. That means this must be huge.
