A special election in Arizona provides the 218th signature to force a vote on the release of files related to Epstein

Donald Trump is reportedly scrambling to sway the three Republican congresswomen who signed the petition to force a vote ordering the release of all government files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

And Republican leaders in the House of Representatives are trying to stop the vote from happening now that enough members of Congress have signed a measure to force a full floor vote and Democrats recently gained a deciding vote on the measure.

Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) put forth a bipartisan discharge petition to release files related to the late convicted sex offender and pedophile. A discharge petition needs to receive the signatures of a majority of members to force a vote without the consent of leadership.

    I agree with everything you said, but Trump isn’t a normal political leader. He’s their cult leader, and every accusation is a lib projection! You will never get them to turn on Trump.

      Maga won’t. they’re batshit crazy and will just instantly take to TikTok about how pedophilia is normal actually. for them, disgust is transferable.

      but Gen Z had functioning brains once. I saw them have brains. they’re capable of learning new things which is why Maga hard focused on selling them tough guy meme shit last election. they’re not full on the crazy juice yet even after this PR stunt with Kirk but people gotta stay tuned in to what they actually respond to before the Christian industry sucks them all up.
