RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

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.

MAGA: “why didn’t Biden release the files and why didn’t you guys call for it?!”

America: “Because we assumed the justice dept was doing their job. But you all demanded it and now Trump is panicking…. So uh, ya now we def want to know why he’s panicking.”

See? Easy!

Federal agents shoot Chicago woman they accuse of ‘boxing in’ vehicle in Brighton Park Federal authorities shot a Chicago activist in Brighton Park on Saturday, but accounts differ on what happened before agents fired their guns.

Federal Agents Shoot Chicago Woman (US Citizen) They Accuse of ‘Boxing In’ Vehicle in Brighton Park — (TCL: There are two sides to this story. Frankly, we're not sure we're buying the government's story.)

They're documenting their crimes.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]
