Democrat Adelita Grijalva sworn in 7 weeks after winning House election
Democrat Adelita Grijalva was sworn in as a member of Congress on Wednesday afternoon, seven weeks after she won a special election in Arizona.
What will Democrats have left to cry about when Adekita is sworn in?

Who cares? So, the daughter of one of the most radical, Socialist, Leftists in Congress (who is a radical, Socialist, Leftist) does something. What meaningless gesture will the Democrats try next?
“Crying,” so pointing out Johnson purposely denying for personal political ends the people of Arizona the representation they are guaranteed in the Constitution is “crying”Democrat Adelita Grijalva sworn in 7 weeks after winning House election

Interesting how the “documentation” is missing a source, seems to be a continuous habit of “copy and paste”
And if there is nothing there, Bondi ought to just release all the records
Objecting to ignoring the Constitution is crying, and MAGA’a will turn around next and tell us they love the Constitution
Post the source, not what the source gave you, and don’t try to tell us you accessed all those House records individually
Post the source
Did, and get repeated “We couldn't find that page” replys
Just provide the source you copied and pasted
And know we know why “copy and paste” doesn’t include the source
“Epstein Files Transparency Act has not yet been voted on in a final passage in the House, as the recent House vote (212-208) was on a procedural measure to continue the Oversight Committee investigation, not on the bill itself. However, a separate procedural move, a discharge petition, is being pursued to force a floor vote on the bill, which Democrats are supporting and Republicans are attempting to block. The Senate previously blocked a similar effort to pass the Act, with Republicans opposing the release of the files”
Thread is bogus Burchett is lying, what a surprise
Today's Floor Action (November 12, 2025): Burchett went rogue with a unanimous consent request on the House floor to immediately discharge and vote on H.Res. 581, the Epstein Files Transparency Resolution (not the bill—see below for distinction). This would direct Oversight to publicly release all key Epstein docs (e.g., unredacted logs, emails, interviews) without waiting for DOJ. Democrats objected and blocked it, citing victim privacy risks and the need for committee vetting. Burchett fired back in a viral clip: "I tried to release the Epstein files today. Democrats blocked it... Just get it to the daggum floor and let the people decide."
In sign of growing agitation, GOP lawmaker attempts to force Epstein vote on floor
Are you thick, with his vote, and the entire Democrat delegation, they still wouldn’t have enough votes to pass it, now explain to us how then the Democrats opposed release of the records
The official transcript of today's session, including Burchett's UC motion and the objection, will be available on Congress.gov's Daily Digest by ~8 AM ET tomorrow (November 13, 2025). Search for "Burchett" + "unanimous consent" + "H.R. 4405" to find the exact wording and who objected.
Again, 209 votes does not equate to a majority, duh
Who said it did?
Bondi can't "just release all the records" due to legal protections, ongoing investigations, political considerations, and the sheer volume of material. It's a delicate balance between transparency and responsibility, but the House's impending vote may force her hand sooner rather than later.
Johnson says House will vote next week on whether to release Epstein files
Speaker Mike Johnson announced to reporters on Wednesday that he will put a bill requiring the release of the Jeffrey Epstein case files on the floor next week – earlier than expected.
“We’re going to put that on the floor for a full vote when we get back next week,” Johnson said.
“In the meantime I’ll remind everybody the Oversight Committee has been working around the clock” on its own investigation, the speaker said.
Johnson is required to put the bill from Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna and GOP Rep. Thomas Massie on the floor soon, now that their discharge petition has reached 218 signatures. But he has some leeway to do so, and Johnson suggested Wednesday he would not use that extra time.

Most people in Arizona wouldn't vote for her if she was the only person on the ballot. She represents a district in S. Arizona that happens to be an anomaly in the state and is deep blue.
Bullshit
