Adelita Grijalva will finally be sworn in to the House of Representatives on Wednesday, meaning the petition to discharge the Epstein records will reach the necessary threshold of 218 signatures to force a House vote on legislation requiring the DOJ to release the records. In the hours leading up to this critical moment, House Democrats released several damning emails from Epstein linking Trump to the sex trafficker, and House Republicans on the Oversight Committee prepared another Epstein document approved by Trump. None of these maneuvers are a coincidence.Democrats are trying to demonstrate why it is urgent that the files be…

Mainstream media headlines don’t do justice to the bombshell dropped Wednesday by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee.Since Trump returned to the White House and quickly reverse course on the publication of the Epstein files, breaking a campaign promise his supporters expected him to keep, Trump, his administration and House Republicans were in full concealment fashion concerning the publication of the Epstein files.

Donald Trump’s approval rating is currently lower than it was after 1/6. Trump has known for some time that his presidency will effectively be over if Democrats win back the House in 2026. If Democrats gain a majority in the House, Trump will become a lame duck, and by the end of summer 2027, Democrats will begin holding their first presidential primary debates, and the nation will turn its attention to the 2028 elections.PoliticusUSA is 100% independent.

There is one point on which many who are angrythe 8 senators from the Democratic caucus who gave in to the closure go silent. Republicans wanted a year of government funding. Congressional Republicans have floated the idea of funding the government for three years.Republicans in the House and Senate ultimately secured 81 days of funding. That’s it. Eighty-one days, which isn’t even three months. No one will say it out loud, but I deeply suspect that the eight Democrats talked themselves into giving in because they didn’t want the shutdown to last through the holidays. These eight Democrats didn’t want…
The Senate Minority Leader and the Senate Democratic leadership stood firm in the face of the government shutdown, but at least eight moderate Senate Democrats betrayed 24 million Americans who face skyrocketing health insurance premiums and the 4 million who will lose their coverage altogether, by striking a terrible deal with Senate Republicans to reopen the government.At the time of publication, it is unclear who all the moderates are, but they are led by Shaheen and King.PoliticusUSA news and opinions are 100% independent.

When Donald Trump finds himself in political trouble, such as after his party was defeated in a coast-to-coast election, one of his favorite tricks is to start promising money to the American people.Trump spent the weekend in Florida at his golf club, and while he does nothing to resolve the government shutdown, Trump has been relentlessly posting on his social media account about his tariffs, which could potentially be overturned by the Supreme Court.The president’s tariffs are very unpopular, which is why he recently tried to bribe the American people with the promise of a $2,000 tariff dividend.Trump posted:People who…
Democrats have spent years talking about democracy. They argued that winning the 2024 election was vital to saving democracy from Trump. However, many Democrats in Congress didn’t really believe it, and some were themselves convinced that a second Trump administration would be more like the first.Other elected Democrats admitted after Trump’s victory that they had abandoned the issue of democracy because it neither interested nor affected voters.The problem wasn’t that the American people didn’t care about democracy. The problem was that not everyone had the same definition of democracy, and Democrats never specifically defined what they meant by democracy, but…
