🚨BREAKING: Arizona AG Kris Mayes warns she’ll sue Speaker Mike Johnson if he doesn’t seat Adelita Grijalva —It’s the final signature to force a full house vote. Justice must be served for the victims. No more excuses. No more cover-ups. Swear her in now. The TRUTH demands it.

FOX: Grijalva says you're afraid of her being the 218th signer to the Epstein petition, that if she was a Republican you would've sworn her in. What do you say?

MIKE JOHNSON: I say bless her heart. She's a representative-elect, she doesn't know how it works around here.

When the House held a moment of silence to honor the Capitol Police on the one year anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, literally none of the Republicans-other than Dick and Liz Cheney-attended

That day, Mike Johnson and MAGA essentially spat on these heroes-both in word AND in deed

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.

Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵

Now we are up to $40 billion for Argentina. Can anyone stop Bessent from unilaterally sending unlimited amounts of our money to South America? And Republicans won’t even negotiate with the Democrats on health care for Americans. Where is Congress?

Mike Johnson is enabling a hostile takeover of the US govt by a criminal enterprise of white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and techno-fascist billionaires who aim to replace democracy with a dictatorship led by Epstein’s closest coconspirator.

For the love of America, we must protest this.

House Speaker Mike Johnson directed House Republicans to flee D.C. and won’t swear in Representative-elect Grijalva because he’s terrified of releasing the Epstein files.

The American people want and deserve transparency and justice.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.
