EXCLUSIVE: This week’s LP Pod guest is Adelita Grijalva, the AZ Rep-elect whom Mike Johnson won’t seat because she promised to sign the Epstein discharge petition. Thread below for a timeline of Johnson’s pedophile protection, and watch Grijalva’s interview, dropping tomorrow.
SEPTEMBER 23: Adelita Grijalva wins a special election to fill her father’s seat in congress, promising to sign the Epstein petition on her first day in Congress. Speaker Mike Johnson delays her swearing in.
OCT 1: Republicans shut down the government. Grijalva demands to be administered her oath, as she won her election more than a week before the shutdown began. Johnson is nowhere to be found.

THREAD: Donald Trump is threatening to sue the Lincoln Project again – this time because we’re telling the world about Trump’s close and personal relationship with the pedophile and convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Trump is panicking because he sees the MAGA base turning against him.
The Lincoln Project’s TLDR response to the President of the United States: Go fuck yourself; We look forward to discovery and taking your deposition, as well as that of Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, and the 1000 FBI agents they used to review the Epstein materials.
From Lincoln Project Executive Director Jeff Timmer, “The Lincoln Project is not afraid and will not be bullied by a tyrant. Unlike some law firms, universities, and media companies, Trump’s bloviating, flaccid threat only makes us more determined to speak truth to power and defeat the Republican/MAGA cult. PS, Donald, release the Epstein Files and don’t forget to pay E. Jean Carrol for that sexual assault judgment.”
🧵: Trump’s bill would be a working class massacre. House Republicans know it will most hurt constituents in red districts who rely on Medicaid & SNAP benefits to make ends meet.
The GOP Reps below are still deciding their votes. Call them now and tell them to vote NO.
THREAD: Key questions today for every reporter and Congressman looking into #Signalgate:
1. How can anyone (aka Trump) trust Mike Waltz going forward since he's so dumb as to add a reporter to such a highly secretive group chat?
2. Why did Hegseth copy war planning information from the military computer systems onto a Signal chat?
3. Hegseth needs to explain why he thought all those people needed the war plans? On MSNBC Goldberg indicated the Sec of Treasury was in the chat…. Why?
4. Why did no one on the National Security Team - including the Dir. of the CIA and WH COS - not STOP it and say Signal is not an appropriate tool. Why did no one check the chat to see who was on it?
5. Witkoff was in Moscow… why did he join such a highly sensitive group on a civilian phone while INSIDE RUSSIA? Is that considered OPSEC? (The answer is no)
