Enough of the games to protect a rich & corrupt elite. The American people want transparency and justice for the survivors. Swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.
Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.
Have you noticed the change in the pro Israel lobby group's platitudes? They no longer claim that the American people support them. They now say they will be vindicated by history. Now everyone sees how unpopular Israel's war is & that supporting it is toxic electorally.
46 Democrats have signed my historic letter calling for the recognition of a Palestinian state. Hope to cross 50 before tomorrow’s deadline despite the intimidation & intense lobbying campaign against us. Is your member of Congress on this letter? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
When Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz left Congress, Republicans swore in their replacements during a pro forma session. If they don’t do the same for @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social on Tuesday, they’ll be breaking precedent. The only reason is to block the release of the Epstein files.
Honored to have joined CBC week with @jonathanjackson.house.gov and foreign ministers of Colombia and South Africa. I spoke about my grandfather's fight alongside Gandhi for democracy & the connection with civil rights leaders whose work paved the way for my family and so many to come to the US.
Adelita Grijalva should get sworn in Tuesday. Republicans swore in 2 of their Florida members right away. But the government is about to shut down and leadership is more concerned with blocking Massie & my vote to release the Epstein files. What are they hiding?
There is an assault on the free speech of many Black Americans who have expressed disagreement with Charlie Kirk's views. Professionals at Clemson and Winthrop have been fired and HBCUs have seen increasing threats. Hamilton Grant and I discuss the stakes.

At a time of rising prices and joblessness in America, Trump is providing $20 billion to failed Argentinian President Milei and billions to Netanyahu used for killing civilians in Gaza. It is time for a new generation of leaders who will actually put American families first.
Republicans are threatening petition signers, cancelling votes for Sept 29/30, & now even talking about delaying the swearing-in of Grijalva, our 218th signatory. Americans are too dialed in on this issue for dirty political tricks. Grijalva must be sworn in our first day back.
News: Massie says GOP leaders in “full panic” over Epstein files, predicts it will pass but said senior Republicans “threatened” his three GOP co-signers politically “They came back and tried to get the four of us to take our names off of the petition” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...
Congratulations @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social. When Congress returns, she will be the 218th signature on Rep. Thomas Massie and my discharge petition. We’re one step closer to releasing the full Epstein files and justice for the survivors.
Breaking: Republicans canceled votes on the 29th and 30th, delaying the final signature on Rep. Thomas Massie’s and our discharge petition. These political games erode public trust. We need transparency and justice for survivors. Release the full Epstein files.
Canada, Australia, and the UK have officially recognized a Palestinian state. We cannot be isolated from the rest of the free world. I’m circulating a letter in Congress calling on Trump and Rubio to do the same. Everyone should see where their member of Congress stands.
Patel says can't release Epstein files because of courts. But Judge Berman said that grand jury materials "pale in comparison" to the files Justice/FBI have from 2006 & 2018 investigation. Don't fall for the headfake. Stand with Rep. Thomas Massie & me -- full release of Epstein files!
I just motioned to subpoena FCC Director Brendan Carr. Enough of Congress sleepwalking while Trump & Vance shred the First Amendment & Constitution. It is time for Congress to stand up for Article I.
Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."
