It has been weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected to represent Arizona's 7th congressional district in Congress, but because Grijalva would represent the deciding vote to force a vote on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files, Mike Johnson has found every excuse he can to postpone swearing Grijalva into office so she can officially begin work on behalf of her constituents. Now Arizona is out of patience and has sued Johnson directly for denying representation in Congress to the American voters who elected Grijalva. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes joins Jen Psaki to discuss.

Fresh from the massive success of Saturday's "No Kings" protest, many people are asking what comes next. Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, talks with Jen Psaki about how the No Kings movement can make productive use of its momentum, and the launch of the "No Kings Alliance" for rapid response activism.

Jen Psaki reports on Paul Ingrassia, Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Office of the Special Counsel, who managed to stay in good standing with Republicans despite a long string of scandals, but ultimately withdrew his himself from the confirmation process after new reports, which he disputes, that he once described himself as having a 'Nazi streak,' an accusation that cost him too many Republican votes to sustain his nomination.
