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.

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

Following our lawsuit challenging the Trump-Vance administration’s attempts to gut AmeriCorps, they reversed course and are restoring funding for this year to grantees.

A statement from our CEO @skyeperryman.bsky.social on this win:

Rallygoers hope that Trump-pressured redistricting push is tipping point in Missouri politics Attendees at a Clayton rally hope that Gov. Mike Kehoe’s decision to call lawmakers back into session this week will be a turning point in Missouri politics.

Hundreds of people flocked to Clayton’s Shaw Park today to decry an upcoming special session aimed at redrawing Missouri’s congressional lines and severely restricting the state’s initiative petition process.
