Anyone want to bet that House Speaker Mike Johnson wishes he could have sworn in Adelita Grijalva weeks ago given todays New York Times bombshell revelations from House Democrats of emails from pedophile Jeffrey Epstein that Donald Trump was undoubtedly aware of his sick sexual assault encounters with underage girls.
It is sweet irony that the revelations come on the day Grijalva, after 50 days following her election to complete the term of her late father, was finally sworn in after what many feel was Mr. Johnsons efforts to delay the swearing in ceremony in order to protect the disclosure of additional information concerning Mr. Trumps compromising relationship with the pedophile Epstein.
After Grijalva was finally sworn in this afternoon, she made her first speech on the House floor. After thanking her family and supporters for helping her become Arizona’s first Latina Representative, she took aim at the House Republicans for giving a blank check to Trump and their failures to hold him accountable on his many transgressions including his relationship with Mr. Epstein.
In her remarks, Representative Grijalva said:
“And while we celebrate this moment today, our American Promise is under serious threat. Basic freedoms are under attack. Healthcare premiums are skyrocketing. Babies are being ripped away from their parents by masked agents. We can and must do better. What is most concerning is not what this Administration has done but what the majority in this body has failed to do hold Trump accountable as a co-equal branch of government that we are.”
“It has been 50 days since the people of Arizona’s Seventh Congressional District elected me to represent them. Fifty days that over 800,000 Arizonans have been left without access to the basic services that every constituent deserves. This is an abuse of power. One individual should not be able to unilaterally obstruct the swearing in of a duly elected member of Congress for political reasons.”
“Our Democracy only works when everyone has a voice. This includes the millions of people across the country Who have experienced violence and exploitation, including Liz Stein and Jessica Michaels, both survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse. They are here in the gallery with us this evening. Thank you for being here.”
“Just this morning, House Democrats released more emails, showing that Trump knew more about Epstein’s abuses. then previously acknowledged. It’s past time for Congress to restore its role as a check and balance on this Administration and fight for we, the American people.“
“We need to fight for our immigrant communities and Veterans. We need to stand up for our public schools, children, and Educators. We need to respect tribal sovereignty and our environment. We need to stand up for LGBTQ Plus rights, because that’s what the American people expect us to do. Fight for them.“
“That is why I will sign the discharge petition right now to release that Epstein file. Justice cannot wait another day...”

Happy to finally have Congressional representation! She’ll follow in her dad’s footsteps and keep fighting the good fight.
Just by being elected, Adelita Grijalva has already become a huge part of American history.
Not a religous guy myself, but God Bless Her.
Meanwhile, back in his secret hideout, Trump took Boebert into the Situation Room to try to get her not to vote to release the files because….. THERE ARE NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES ALLOWED IN THE SITUATION ROOM.
Not the Oval Office, nope, he’s being very careful because HE RAPES CHILDREN and doesn’t want any recordings.
I’d make a joke about him getting a theater handy from him but she’s way too old for him.
Good lord, reading some of the emails released today has been horrifying.
IT’S NOT OVER!!!!!!!
The Senate still needs to vote to release, and then, correct me if I’m wrong, the PedoPOTUS in the White House has to sign as well?
WTF America? The child rapist gets to decide on the coverup of him being a raper of children?
IT’S NOT OVER! KEEP THE HEAT UP ON HIGH!
And if some Dems get sent to prison.. GOOD! And I hope a lot of the bankers that were also in on the Epstein world go down too, because you don’t move hundreds of millions of dollars around without bankers, and bankers KNOW WHO THEIR CLIENTS ARE.
