Mike Johnson will do anything to shield Donald Trump from the Epstein files.

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.

Senator Peter Welch @welch.senate.gov · 2d

Republicans added trillions to the national debt by giving billionaires tax cuts a few months ago, so it rings pretty hollow when they say we can’t afford to extend the current program that avoids 24 million Americans having their health care premiums double overnight.

I am 70. I never miss an election nor have I EVER voted for a Republican. I just checked on my ballot status in MN.

"For the November 4, 2025, Municipal General Election:
Your ballot was accepted by the ballot board on October 10, 2025 and will be counted."
