U.S. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva is expected to be sworn in this week, ahead of the House vote on a government funding bill, Scripps News has confirmed.

Grijalva won a special election in Arizona's 7th congressional district in late September, but House Speaker Mike Johnson refused to swear her in. He said it was due to the House not being in session, which has been prolonged due to the government shutdown.

Did the dems cave on this too and now need another vote in order to release the files?

Part of the calculation to end the shutdown was getting the files released, so no.

You have a lot more confidence in them than I do.

The files in question:

Dear [redacted],

Just [redacted] 5 [redacted] girls at the party last night. What a great time!

Yours, [redacted]

I mean, the vote count can change but it stands as we have it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they further capitulated to them and now that’s going to change.
