House Speaker Mike Johnson has confirmed that a full vote on releasing the Department of Justice's Jeffrey Epstein case files will take place in Congress next week. Johnson, who had previously prevented the House from convening during the government shutdown to avoid discussing the issue, has now relented and given his fellow representatives the opportunity to weigh in.
As part of this development, Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva was finally sworn in 50 days after her election, thanks to Johnson's earlier delay. The timing of her swearing-in comes with a condition: if she signs off on it, there will be no further obstruction and the House will move forward with the vote.
Grijalva wasted no time in joining forces with her colleagues, vowing to discharge a petition that would force the release of the Epstein files. She believes it's "past time" for Congress to reassert its role as a check-and-balance on the administration, and that justice cannot wait any longer.

, but also a bit ironic given how long it took Arizona's Adelita Grijalva to get sworn in... 50 days is not exactly what I'd call speedy, you know? 
It feels like they were just waiting for someone to give them permission to move forward. And on the flip side, finally having a chance to see those Epstein files come out could be super revealing, especially if some shady stuff comes to light 
. But at the same time, it's a bit concerning that it took some kinda deal-breaker situation like Grijalva getting sworn in for Congress to start taking action... 
I'm loving the progress Adelita Grijalva is making in her new role! It's about time we see some action on those Epstein case files 
. 50 days after being sworn in is still a bit slow, but at least she's already making waves and working with her colleagues to push for change 
. I think it's awesome that she's standing up for justice and holding the admin accountable 
. Fingers crossed that the full vote goes through and we get some answers about what really went down 
!
she's like totally jumping on the Epstein case bandwagon 
and I gotta say, I'm low-key impressed 
she's all about that justice life and getting Congress to do their job. it's crazy that they were holding up those files for so long 
like what's the hold up? 
and now that Grijalva is in the mix, things are finally gonna start moving 
hopefully we'll get some answers about what really went down with Epstein 
just in 
50 days after being elected & Arizona Dem Adelita Grijalva is finally sworn in 
but what's even more interesting is she's already teaming up with her colleagues to push for the release of those Epstein case files 
that's like, a total win-win 
for transparency & accountability 
did you know the House had been on lockdown due to the gov't shutdown 
preventing discussions on this issue? 
but here's the thing... if Adelita signs off, it means no more stalling & we can get to the bottom of what really went down with Epstein 
like what's the delay even for? did they have to send out her welcome wagon or something? anywayz, glad she's finally on board, hopefully she can bring some sense of urgency to this whole Epstein thing 
omg you guys can you believe this is finally happening?? like we've been waiting for ages and it feels like no one was even listening 
and i mean what even is the hold up on those epstein files? it's been years since he died and we still don't know half the truth 
so fingers crossed that congress actually does its job next week 
. I mean, it's been way too long since we've seen some transparency in our government 
. She was elected 50 days ago and had to wait for this kinda moment 
She's got some serious juice with her colleagues, and it'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. Will we actually get some accountability from our government? Only time will tell... 
It's about time we get some answers about what went down with Jeffrey Epstein's case. 50 days without being sworn in is crazy, especially since it was all thanks to Johnson's delay 
. Let's keep the pressure on and make sure justice gets served 
. It's about time we see some real action from Congress. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this whole thing gets resolved soon and transparency prevails 
.
. And now she's teaming up with her colleagues to get those Epstein files out... justice can't wait is definitely the right vibe 
. It'll be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out, especially since it feels like a big test of the administration's transparency 
Can't wait to see what other drama unfolds next week 
(in a good way, obvs). It's all about time and accountability now! Can't wait to see how this unfolds
