Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva said that there appears to be a connection between Speaker Mike Johnson not swearing her in and the Epstein files.
This matter should be taken to court. This is pure political obstructionism.
And Sara Sidner (photographed) is a role model. She suffered a double mastectomy due to breast cancer and was not only open about it, reported on it. She is also a plus-sized woman who has a husband and two kids, proof that you do NOT need to look like you can hide behind a pencil to have a career and family. It's about abilities.

"THE MAXWELL - EPSTEIN - TRUMP SEX CRIME VICTIMS ARE STILL WAITING FOR JUSTICE!"
CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER tRUMP IS CONSIDERING A PARDON FOR MOLESTER MAXWELL WHILE CORPORATE MEDIA STILL PROTECTS HIM!
We used to treat child molesting sex rings as the worst of the worse, now child sex rings are protected by their $billions$ and $payoffs$ to maga judges and politicians while the rape victims continue to suffer. STOP NORMALIZING THIS!
A Short Epstein - Maxwell - tRump Sex Ring Summary:
tRump was the best friend of Epstein for 15 years with hundreds of photos and videos proving the friendship. tRump bragged about his friendship to Epstein in a 2002 New York Magazine article in which he called Epstein a "terrific guy!"
tRump and Epstein hosted a party for "28 Girls" at Mar a Lago as a "Calendar" competition in 1992.
Young Girls were groomed by Maxwell while these Girls were working at Mar a lago.
When the Epstein sex traffic ring was busted in 2007 with 60 criminal counts, US District Attorney for South Florida, Alex Acosta, gave Epstein a slap on the wrist and made a deal that granted immunity to Epstein and other sexual predators.
Epstein does only 13 months and gets to work from home thanks to Acosta’s “sweet deal.”
Epstein claims the 5th when asked, “Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18?” in a 2010 deposition. (Epstein Claimed the 5th 500 times.)
Pam Bondi, was Florida’s District Attorney from 2011 to 2019 (and was made US Attorney General by and for tRump in 2025) while Epstein and Maxwell continued their sex ring.
Alex Acosta is made US Labor Secretary by and for tRump in 2017.
Maxwell has the vile to accuse a sexual victim, Virginia Giuffre, of lying in 2017; Virginia sues Maxwell. Maxwell settles with Virginia to avoid Epstein taking the stand in court. Sadly, Virginia Giuffre died earlier this year- 2025; her Dad claims it was not by suicide.
The Miami Herald discovers that dozens of underage Girls were part of the Epstein sex ring in 2017.
The Miami Herald exposes the Alex Acosta “sweet deal” and the Epstein sex ring. Epstein makes another deal to avoid testimony that he had sex with minor Girls in 2018.
Epstein is arrested again for sex with minors and Alex Acosta resigns as US Labor Secretary after Epstein is arrested in 2019. Law Enforcement says during the arrest briefing, "We will not rest until perpetrators of these types of crimes (Sexual Abuse of Minors) are brought to justice; Victims voices, including Epstein's victims, must be heard."
Epstein is found dead in his cell while in custody and jail video is erased due to "technical problem" during the same time period as his death in 2019.
Maxwell is convicted of sex trafficking minors and sentenced to 20 years in Prison in 2021.
tRumps lawyer and Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, meets with Maxwell, in Prison in July of 2025. Then, Maxwell is moved from Prison in Florida to a "Club Fed" facility in Texas in August of 2025.
House Democrats push for and GET the release of the "tRump to Epstein Birthday Card" from 2003 that has a drawing of a young naked Girl and "Weird" notes talking about creepy "Secrets." Other paraphernalia include: "Weird" cards showing young girls surrounding Epstein and a photo of Epstein and a Joel Pashcow holding a large novelty check to tRump in the amount of $22,500. Joel wrote a note that said, “Jeffrey showing early talents with money + women! Sells ‘fully depreciated’ girl to Donald Trump for $22,500.”
Mike Johnson refuses to expose all records regarding the Epstein Child Sex Ring and refuses to swear in recently elected Congress Woman, Adelita Grijalva of Arizona, who has vowed to expose the same sex ring.
STILL THE RAPE – SEX TRAFFICED VICTIMS WAIT FOR JUSTICE TODAY!
It's outrageous. Her district has no representation until she is sworn in. The GOP is making it clear that it no longer supports democracy. We need to stop pretending that we have a functioning 2-party system. Republicans will do everything possible to remain in power, even though they represent a minority of Americans.
Many Districts might have a *Rep* whose name is on a door in DC but in reality have ZERO representation. I live in NY21, I have ZERO REPRESENATATIO from #SeditiousStefaniQ. She closed most of her offices, the few left refuse to answer the phones or if they DO thw clueless interns on the other end might as well be robots with their mechanical *I'll pass that along*. She hasn't been seen in a public forum since 2019. She WAS however boo-ed off stage TWICE when she went to dedicate a name change in the Northenmost and reddest part of our District which of course her maggots insist Soros paid for bus loads to come in!! Lol, no. She hides behind cops and goes I n back doors or mis-direcrs where she will be with her maggots so we show up to show our displeasure and she is no where to be seen. We are TAXED but definitely NOT Represented.
I feel your pain...I've never had a Democratic rep in the House, ever. But how does Stefani get away with that since she is a big player now? You need a good investigative reporter to put a harsh spotlight on her, exposing her worthlessness as a public servant.
We now only have one functioning political party democrats. The other side has proven they hate a functioning democracy. They incite violence, racist to their core and only work for billionaires. We need a new party or go it alone. My gawd the other side are full of pedophiles, pathological liars bigot’s.
Agree. Rush Limpbaugh was calling American Women "FemiNazi's" three decades ago. Maga promoted target practice signs with Hillary Clinton's face on the targets ten years ago. Billionaires have been taking money from the Middle Class since Raygone created "trickle down voodoo economics" in the 1980's. MAKE PLANS FOR NOKINGS RALLY NOW! RESIST THE FASCIST BILLIONAIRES!
I’ll attend on Oct 18. This will be my fourth protest. We don’t get a lot of people in my rural maga red town in Oregon. I’ve only here six years and now my house is for sale. Moving to Arizona only blue city, Tucson. I’m sick of being around stupid people.
Agreed. The GOP is determined to drag us backwards, undoing the progress we've made for LGBTQ folks, women, all people of color, environmental protections, and scientific advances. It makes a hell of a bumper sticker or them.
Not just bring us down, to openly let the rest of the World Pass Us By while we flounder at the hands of the Trillionaires. MAKE PLANS FOR NOKINGS RALLY NOW! RESIST THE FASCIST BILLIONAIRES!
INSANE JUSTICE RUN AMOK AND TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION! When maga AmeriKa toadies protect pedophiles and attack the pedophile Victims; American Justice is finished. When Blue "Giver" States prop up the failed "Taker" red states financially while the orange presidential predator singles out withholding Federal Funds to those same Blue States; American Equality is finished. MAKE PLANS FOR NOKINGS RALLY NOW! RESIST THE FASCISTS!
Of course there is a connection. Please take this to the Judicial Branch and see how quickly the rump changes tactics to something else. There must be an amazing amount of evidence of what has high powered people who’ve been involved. Follow the money as is said.
Democrats need to openly call for Packing The Supreme Court with 4 Seats to stop the Roberts crazy train to Dictatorship and Fascism. MAKE PLANS FOR NOKINGS RALLY NOW! RESIST THE FASCIST BILLIONAIRES!
a) FDR threatened to force retirement on supreme judges over 70 years of age and replace them with his picks. We can try that again, but have to take House/Senate/President and wait until 2029.
b) Take House/Senate in 2026, force ethics on the court via legislation then drag every maga supreme judge to House/Senate investigation committees to explain destruction of our US Constitution & Amendments.
c) Defund the supreme court.
d) If somehow Democrats flip 80 seats in 2026, threaten a change to US Constitution regarding age and/or term limits retroactively.
Gross obstruction at work here...Mike Johnson, DO YOUR DAMN JOB!! Or, perhaps it's time to replace the Speaker????? Republicans are blatantly obstructing democracy, attempting to do the dumpster's bidding -- who is actually IN CHARGE?????
How can America go from being a free country to an authoritarian land? Congress and courts both support a crazed president. America has to rise carefully and peacefully to get this country back.
Of course he is delaying swearing her in. I can think of a oiled of reasons he's trying to protect his slim majority. He avoiding the last signature for the discharge petition and trump has told him to delay swearing her in as a other vote to nd the shutdown, These people are shameless hypocrites and they need to be voted out of office for their astounding dereliction of duty PERIOD.
There should be a time limit between the time a representative is elected and they are sworn in. By not swearing her in, Johnson is denying her constituents representation. That it is so blatant is horrendous and he should be held accountable. But then a lot of the current Administration needs to be held accountable for their actions. Especially the one in the White House who is trying to wage civil war in our country. Pitting our own National Guard against our citizens is abhorrent. As much as Johnson is bowing to the whims of the fascist dictator in the White House he will be gone in the space of a breath once he displeases his master. Republicans just don't seem to understand that there is no loyalty to anyone, not them, not his family or friends, and certainly not to our country. The Day of Reckoning will come and it will not be pretty for any of them when they are finally held to account.
Project 2025 and Roberts have exposed all the flaws in the US Constitution. Only Democrats can fix it in the future. Else, we end up like Yugoslavia in the 1990's.
I agree 100%. Left in the hands of Republicans, who have now become nothing more but the orange monster's lapdogs licking his boots, we will lose our democracy and all of our hard fought for freedoms. Anyone who doesn't believe this is not paying attention. And yes, they will be coming for you.
Of course it's about having one more democrat, Epstein and all. We need to pass a measure to claw back the pay of every house member that is not in DC Monday through Friday, so they would be ready when something is passed - not days later when they mosey on back to town. Also, since the Rethugs are responsible, just take all their pay too for good measure. Maybe that will provide some incentive to pressure Mike the Lap Puppy.
Yes! This! Accountability for actions taken, or not taken, is basic from the time children can comprehend the concept. Republicans or anyone complicit in allowing or supporting the actions of this fascist regime need to feel some of the pain they've inflicted on our people. It needs to start now.
There have to be consequences when government officials don't follow through on their sworn duties. We're paying them to do the job we elected them for. If they're not capable or willing to do it then they should be removed from office and not be able to wait for the next election in which they're running. There's too much time in between when they fail to do their duty and the next time they can be held accountable. Democrats need to pass some laws that will restore and protect the integrity of our country and the sanctity of our democracy.
Anyone think to ask Nancy Pelosi what the process is if a Speaker refuses to swear in a certified elected congressperson? His first excuse was that AZ had not certified her landslide election, but now he just keeps sending the entire congressional body home on vacation to PREVENT having to swear ONE ELECTED PERSON IN. What an abuse, waste and fraud he is!!
This matter should be taken to court. This is pure political obstructionism.
And Sara Sidner (photographed) is a role model. She suffered a double mastectomy due to breast cancer and was not only open about it, reported on it.

Anybody know why all the articles are locked today 10/12/25 to comments? Except this one and other older ones. I am a subscriber too.
Definitely the Speaker playing games for Trump regarding the Epstein files. I feel that when the files are all released say goodbye to Trump.
Of course there is a connection. Please take this to the Judicial Branch and see how quickly the rump changes tactics to something else. There must be an amazing amount of evidence of what has high powered people who’ve been involved. Follow the money as is said.

Great suggestion! What say if the court was pack with an equal number of parties since the current court system can’t remain impartial?
a) FDR threatened to force retirement on supreme judges over 70 years of age and replace them with his picks. We can try that again, but have to take House/Senate/President and wait until 2029.
b) Take House/Senate in 2026, force ethics on the court via legislation then drag every maga supreme judge to House/Senate investigation committees to explain destruction of our US Constitution & Amendments.
c) Defund the supreme court.
d) If somehow Democrats flip 80 seats in 2026, threaten a change to US Constitution regarding age and/or term limits retroactively.
Gross obstruction at work here...Mike Johnson, DO YOUR DAMN JOB!! Or, perhaps it's time to replace the Speaker????? Republicans are blatantly obstructing democracy, attempting to do the dumpster's bidding -- who is actually IN CHARGE?????
It is waaaaay past time for him (and Schumer and sadly, Jeffries) to be replaced.
Then shut up with your false equiv crap and run for office. Democrats, LIKE ME, are the only thing separating you from alligator Auschwitz.
I believe I read somewhere that a judge can swear in a congressperson in certain circumstances
If true, should this qualify?
Should it not be asked if a judge?
Come one democrats
I hope you are right and the Dems push for it.
I just read that. Haven’t researched. I would think if that was an option, it would have been explored by now though. So perhaps that was incorrect ?
Obviously there's multiple reasons. But Fact is The Majority Vote is at stake, PERIOD !!
How can America go from being a free country to an authoritarian land? Congress and courts both support a crazed president. America has to rise carefully and peacefully to get this country back.
By the media - social and corporate, selecting a broken human that is a convicted felon and sexual predator for president, obviously.
Of course it’s the Epstein files! No further evidence required! Release the Epstein files!
Of course he is delaying swearing her in. I can think of a oiled of reasons he's trying to protect his slim majority. He avoiding the last signature for the discharge petition and trump has told him to delay swearing her in as a other vote to nd the shutdown, These people are shameless hypocrites and they need to be voted out of office for their astounding dereliction of duty PERIOD.
I vote for the Epstein file vote. Republicans are sly that way! And so obvious
Absolutely the Epstein Files.

"Salad bar khristian."
