1. This win is bigger than just one seat -- it's a warning shot.

Grijalva didn't just flip a seat — she crushed it with a nearly 40-point landslide. That kind of overperformance is the political equivalent of an earthquake, and the aftershocks are already being felt on the Hill.

Not only does this tighten the GOP's grip on the House to a threadbare margin (219-214), but it could finally push the Epstein files into daylight — and that is what Republicans are really scared of. One more signature and the discharge petition becomes unstoppable.

Arizona just sent a Latina congresswoman to Washington — and maybe, just maybe, a tidal wave of truth with her.

Game on.
