Fortune presents... Six-year-old Ada plays her favorite song. Not funny, but let's add some energy!
We all have it. Northern energy. Courage to stick to your work and develop your inner. Wherever you go, Fortum brings energy and knowledge to your life. Fortum. Once upon a time there was a good shepherd who roamed the land of the forest. To the delicious Christmas tree for all the inhabitants of the forest. Siinä oli tarjolla, jos jonkinmoista herkkua. Oli joulutorttua, vihreitä kuulia, piparia ja... Jaha. Joo, tämähän ei ollutkaan joulusatu. Tämähän olikin ostoslista. Ja se on pitkä. No, onneksi kaikki ainekset herkulliseen jouluun saat. S-Marketista. Joulu on ruokaa. S-Market.
Look at MAGA Mike Johnson's face right there. He's a panicking. He and Donald Trump are facing a nightmare scenario right now because that discharge petition that was being circulated in the House of Representatives to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files and thus the uncovering of more disturbing information of Donald Trump's dark past. Well, it's about to get that 218 signature that was needed to force that House floor vote. How? Because in Arizona's seventh congressional district, they have a new Democratic congresswoman elect. Her name is Adelita Grijalva. She won by like 40 points, outperforming former Vice President Kamala Harris's 2024 numbers by like an additional 20 points. She's now the congresswoman elect, and she's put out a statement right away that
And I'm planning to travel to Washington, D.C. on Monday to join my Democratic colleagues in demanding that Republicans come to the negotiating table to prevent a government shutdown and to vote on the release of the Epstein files. Congresswoman-elect Grijalva has confirmed that she will sign the discharge petition that was first circulated by Democrats. Democratic Congress member Ro Khanna and Republican Congress member Thomas Massey. That will be 218 votes. The discharge petition will be effectuated and that should force a vote on the House floor forthwith. Now, it's one of my theories, and I'm not trying to get all that conspiratorial here, but that one of the reasons MAGA Mike Johnson is telling the Republicans don't show up to work is
on September 29th and September 30th, right before the government shutdown on October 1st, is because if they show up and it's a workday, then they'll have to swear in Congresswoman-elect Grijalva. She will become a Congresswoman. She'll sign the discharge petition and it will be effectuated. So one of the things I will posit is that the reason that we're getting even closer to this government shutdown, I also think has to do in part, in part, Because Donald Trump wants to avoid the Epstein files coming to light. I also think Donald Trump wants to blame the economic calamity he's causing on Democrats. And he's going to go back to his old bag of tricks and say, transgender this, crime that, migrants this, Democrats want all of that.
When all the Democrats have said, regarding the impending shutdown is that the Democrats want to ensure that your Affordable Care Act tax premiums are not raised and that the tax credit is extended. Let me just show you what's going down here as well, because I believe the cover up of Donald Trump's dark past is also inextricably intertwined with the desire by Donald Trump to shut down the government with MAGA Mike Johnson. Just as a reminder, Here's how MAGA Mike Johnson has been falsely talking about the discharge petition that was initiated by Republican Thomas Massey and Democratic Congress member Ro Khanna. Here, play this clip.
The Massey and the Khanna discharge petition does not have adequate protections. For example, in the way that it was drafted. They cite that they don't want child abuse, sex abuse information uncovered, but they cite the wrong provision of the federal code. And so it makes it unworkable. It requires the DOJ to release grand jury testimony. They are prohibited by law from doing so. So it is not the right approach. There is another approach out there.
