Status: 217/218 signatures (As of Oct 22, 2025) | Live Dashboard | Verify at House Clerk
Track progress toward 218 signatures needed to force a House vote on releasing all Epstein-related government records with proper victim protections.
The Situation: Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva won her Arizona special election on Sept 23 and pledged to provide the 218th signature. Speaker Johnson refuses to swear her in—now 30+ days of unprecedented delay. Government shutdown now third-longest in U.S. history.
The Double Standard:
- April 2025: Johnson swore in 2 GOP Reps 1 day after their elections during pro-forma sessions
- Sept 2025: Johnson swore in Rep. Walkinshaw (D-VA) less than 24 hours after his election
- Oct 2025: Grijalva has waited 30+ days with House in recess through Oct 26
Legal Escalation:
- Oct 17: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries threatens "swift and decisive legal action"
- Oct 14: Arizona AG Kris Mayes drafting lawsuit against Speaker Johnson
- Oct 14-15: Democrats march to Johnson's office chanting "Swear her in!"
- Johnson's response: Dismissed as "publicity stunt"
"Nobody's Girl" published during this standoff. Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent Epstein survivors, died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41. Before her death, she stated releasing her memoir was her "heartfelt wish" - "regardless" of circumstances. The timing adds profound moral weight to survivors' plea for transparency.

- Independent disclosure review board with survivor advocate seat
- Automatic redaction of minors' identities (opt-in for adults)
- Public Vaughn-style index for any withholdings
- Firm deadlines and searchable public repository
Primary Legislation:
- H.R. 4405 - JFK-style disclosure framework with victim protections
