AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Republicans new socialist plan, They steal our money then they give our money to other countries not ours. Or is that not socialism 🫣🤔? Republicans and oligarchs believe they are making us all rich. Or should I say, they want you to believe that.
I just can’t believe people are that dumb 💁🏻‍♂️.

Johnson has canceled every day of work since Sept 19.

Johnson continues to get paid while military families miss their paychecks.

Johnson doesn't care whether you'll be able to afford your health care in 2 months.

Graphic with text: A 60-year-old couple in Speaker Johnson's district would see their premiums jump $2,284 per month.

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

🚨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.
