Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva sworn in after contentious seven-week delay House Speaker Mike Johnson had refused to seat Grijalva during the shutdown. She will provide the final signature on a petition to force a vote to release the DOJ's Epstein files.

That’s Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

2/ I guess it's actually more than $500k. $500k for each order? so senators might be get multiples of $500k? that's a lot right?

So all but two Republicans in Congress voted to pay $500k of taxpayer dollars to each of ten Republicans senators. That's a big payout. If I had $500k (possibly tax free?) dollars paying for college would be so much easier.

$500k is a lot, right?

pro tip: innocent people don't work this hard to keep the files that prove their innocence a secret

Thousands of Granite Staters and millions of Americans are getting hammered by Republicans who are using their power to drive up health care costs that are already way too high. My statement on tonight's House vote:

That’s the kind of opportunity every veteran deserves.

That’s why I’ll fight for veterans and their families - not just on Veterans Day, but every day.

My dad’s military service shaped his life, and mine too. The military taught him discipline, purpose, and a commitment to service. The GI Bill made law school possible for him and it opened the door to a career built on doing what’s right, even when it’s hard.

Grateful for the opportunity to mark the start of Veterans Day in my hometown at Goodwin Park. Let us recommit to those who have fought to defend our freedom not only today, but every day. Thank you Mayor McEachern and the City of Portsmouth for making this possible.

Trump issues fake pardons for fake electors The president can't pardon cronies facing state charges. He's trying anyway.

Pretty fitting that Trump's "electors" receive pardons that are just as fake as they are.

Velshi Banned Book Club: ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’ by Oscar Wilde with author Abdi Nazemian Initially published as a famously censored novella for Lippincott's Monthly Magazine in June 1890, Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray” explores persuasion and corruption, sexual identity, desire, mortality, and societal obsession with youth and beauty. According to “Exquisite Things” author Abdi Nazemian, it is a story that has become a symbol of resilience

Why read Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray?’ “They tried to ban it; they tried to silence it, and they couldn’t,” says ‘Exquisite Things’ author Abdi Nazemian. “In the long term, the art will survive. It’s about resilience.” #Velshi #VelshiBannedBookClub

Maybe we should call it No Czars.

Donald Trump thinks the No Kings Day protests were small and ineffective.

7 million people would disagree.

I came to the Capitol, ready to be sworn in and get to work for the people of Southern Arizona. Instead, Speaker Johnson chose to delay, denying our community the representation we deserve.

Day 2 in D.C. and #AZ07 is still left without a vote and voice here in Washington.

This is Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva.

She'll be the final vote to release the Epstein files—but the GOP won't call the House back into session to swear her in.

If you live in a red district, call your rep and tell them: SWEAR IN @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social NOW—RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Why won’t Mike Johnson swear in congresswoman elect Adelita Grijalva? What is he afraid of?

#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. Release the Epstein files. Expose and punish pedofiles.

New Trump plan offers UT funding benefits with conditions on academics The Trump administration named the University of Texas as one of nine schools that can access funding benefits in exchange for demands outlined in a compact.

If Texans want to be the cowards who pull higher education over the brink, here’s their big chance.

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

👀We've got eyes on Arizona tonight, where Speaker Mike Johnson's job may be about to get much harder.

Missing this guy today

Amen.
