The voters made their voice heard. And now, Adelita Grijalva is officially certified to represent Arizona’s 7th Congressional District.

It’s time for Mike Johnson to stop playing games and swear in Adelita so she can get to working for the people of AZ-07.

Tapper: "The Trump administration only talks about left-wing violence. They do not talk about right-wing violence."

Gov. Shapiro: "To suggest that the responsibility of political violence exists on just one side of the aisle or the other is absolutely wrong."

🚨BREAKING: Arizona’s 7th District is certified — Adelita Grijalva is now U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson’s last excuse is gone. No more lies. No more delays. Swear her in NOW so she can do her job. They can delay, lie, and hide—but the Epstein files aren’t going anywhere. The cover-up is cracking.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?
