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.
Yes, Iโve been indicted. But I donโt want people to lose sight of what got us here.
Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.
Virginia! Iโm here today for a very important reason: to ask you to vote for your next Governor, @abigailspanberger.com. Tune in:
Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroomโฆ If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.
What he said: ๐ฏ ๐ฏ
Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.
Why the delay from Mike Johnson?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
BOSTON (AP) โ Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.
Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. Thereโs no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.
California โ this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.
Californiaโs Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, weโre going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.
Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.
HAYES: โThe more unpopular Trump & Republicans grow, the harder they try to project strength with liesโฆ As they talk about an unconstitutional third term Trump is as politically weak as he has ever beenโฆ Do Americans like the MAGA agenda? The polls are clear: NO.โ
Career prosecutors were put on leave, allegedly for stating the truth about J6. The Administration is working overtime to erase history. Itโs incumbent upon all of us to document truth, preserve historical record, and stand firm against efforts to replace facts.

Here I am! Hey! REM me? Iโm just a little baby gremlin - I donโt only give you my paw- Iโll give you my whole body! Iโm just a baby listed to die @nycacc.bsky.social! Is there any soul on the East Coast who can click on my link below&foster me? Itโs #Wednesday- my time is running out! REPOST me!
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. Iโm not backing down, and weโre going to win.
Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:
$100 billion
Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:
$100 billion
One is decried as "welfare." One is not.
Why?
Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."
If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code ยง 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both"
Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.
Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."
Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure.
Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized.
Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

Adelita Grijalva: "There is so much that cannot be done until I'm sworn in. So every moment that passes that I'm not able to provide constituent services or be a voice for Arizona, I cannot bring the issues forward that they send me here to do."
Anti-democratic regimes have long used abortion bans to consolidate power and silence dissent.
โSuch policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies,โ writes Seda Saluk, a gender studies professor.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.

During todayโs pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.
