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.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the U.S. & there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding it's way through our political & cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is as good as your knowledge."
