And it's Barros - the good stuff! Lucky kids 🥰

Spoiler alert: This is infuriating.

We can stop the tax dollar drain. Here's how: bit.ly/ProtectEdAZ

So if ICE is available to fill in for all the TSA agents Trump’s not paying, who’s filling in to handle the big illegal immigration “crisis”we supposedly have?

An image of Trump in a toddler's high chair, dressed as a king in ermine and velvet robes and a jeweled crown on his head. He has a golden pacifier in his mouth. On the high chair's tray he is holding a Diet Coke and there is a container of Macdonald's french fries. The words "No Kings" are written across the image.

No Kings.

"Mumbark"? Might wanna spell check this one.

Opinion | ‘We Don’t Need More Lawyers in Congress’: The Future of the Democratic Party Is Emerging

💯 Great read hitting on so many of my chief issues w/ crusty politicians. To wit: "Too many Dems default to playing legalistic hall monitor & complaining Trump didn’t fill out the right paperwork before launching strikes. Technically true but not at all persuasive"

This is fascinating – I bet we have Arizona's new Internet censorship bill #HB2112 to thank. Why would @azcentral.com throw up these information roadblocks, if not to avoid McCarthyist persecution?

Phoenix Public Works Department recommends raising garbage collection fees by 50% Phoenix residents may soon have to pay more to have their garbage collected. The city’s Public Works Department says the only alternative is a reduction in services.

Data center tax breaks cost Phoenix residents millions, city audit says Statewide tax breaks for data center developers are costing Phoenix taxpayers over $12 million in yearly revenue, a new city-sanctioned audit showed.

A tale of #Phoenix in 2 parts:

1) Data center tax breaks costing Phx residents $12 million/yr - passed by #AZLeg, no city buy-in

2) Phoenix hikes trash fees to patch budget shortfall, avoid "massive reductions in service"

Are you tired of #AZLeg picking our pockets? I am! #WeNeedANewLegislature

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.

If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Christian Nationalism is backed by a third of Arizonans and a majority of GOP, survey finds | Arizona Mirror A new survey found 3 in 10 Arizonans identify with Christian Nationalism, including 55% of Republicans, slightly below the national average

This poll is upsetting, but not surprising. Even as Nixon's presidency imploded, over half of Republicans approved, right up until he resigned in disgrace. Nixon still resigned.

America's clown car has a baseline number of riders. That won't change what comes next.

John Oliver and team do a great job here of explaining how Twitter/X is a cesspool and why you shouldn’t go anywhere near it. Only thing it misses is new research showing that its right-biased algorithm “works” in that it shifts users’ views rightward. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7ZG...

As Jonathan Foster used to say in his Journalism 101 class: “If someone tells you it's raining and another tells you it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. It's your job to look out the fucking window and find out which is true.”

To journalists everywhere: You cannot both-sides this.

The fundraiser states, "Funds will go to help pay for any legal services this officer needs." Ross is under potential investigation for a violent crime, the killing of Nicole Renee Good, which makes this fundraiser a direct violation of Section 8.10.

This fundraiser violates Section 8.10 of GoFundMe's Terms of Service: "the legal defense of financial and violent crimes, including those related to money laundering, murder, robbery, assault, battery, sex crimes or crimes against minors."

The next comment is text you can use under "Please describe your concerns."

Someone started a GoFundMe for the ICE officer who shot Renee Good. Besides being morally repellent, this is also a direct violation of GoFundMe's terms of service. Please report the fundraiser and share this widely. Link and information in comments.

Every word of this.

"The all-Republican Arizona Corporation Commission's plan zeroes out the budget for incentives for residential customers to make improvements to their homes, like installing energy-efficient appliances, and says homebuilders will receive no benefits."

NO. BENEFITS.

Lessons from November 2025 The age of the "corporate Democratic moderate" is over. Arizona Democrats would do well to listen.
