He destroys because destruction is the only way he knows how to feel powerful. He resents what he cannot create. He resents beauty because it reminds him of everything he will never be. And so, he does what he always does.

He ruins it.

AZ AG Mayes: We have people in Arizona who are being actively harmed by Mike Johnson playing politics and apparently trying to protect the Epstein files. That’s not okay. We’re going to fight as hard as we can to put an end to it and to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in.

It certainly appears Mike Johnson cares more about protecting Jeffrey Epstein than working for the American people. Full interview with AG Mayes is up now on our YouTube channel. youtu.be/Wwbwyn1lxH8

Hey the house of reps has had all of Oct and most of September off because Speaker Johnson is desperate to not release the Epstein files.

Have they been filling the time with town halls? I mean they have a full month off… maybe a couple town halls each right?

Only one thing bothers me more than reading about another democracy destroying action Trump has taken: seeing Democrats suggest they have given up, or thrown in the towel. That’s not acceptable.

Come November, when SNAP runs out, Republicans are expecting Black folks to be the ones to raise hell. Nope. It’s going to be their own white voters in deep red states having conniption fits.

Good luck:
• Mike Johnson in Louisiana
• Tommy Tuberville in Alabama
• Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi
