¡Estamos contigo Senadora Ortiz! United in bravery! ✊🏽

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Arizona does not vet new voucher schools. Not even if the school or the online school “provider” has already failed, or was founded yesterday, or is operating out of a strip mall, or offers just a half hour of instruction per morning. (Published Dec. 2024)

The man's arrest is the latest case of federal authorities detaining immigrants with legal status during immigration check-ins. Lawmakers call the detainment of those who helped U.S. troops at war a betrayal. [via @wbur.org]

71% of Americans can't locate the Pacific Ocean on a map. 33% don't believe in evolution. 26% believe the sun revolves around the Earth. 40% don’t know what Auschwitz was. 33% can't name any branch of government. 54% read below a 6th grade level. But by all means, eliminate the Dept of Education.

This Saturday we put #FamiliesFirst. Not billionaires. Not corporations. Not deportations. Not tax breaks. July 26th, we fight back for our families' futures. Join us: seiu.co/FamiliesFirst

🚨ABC 15 exposes Maricopa County for undercounting heat-deaths. Why were some deaths recorded differently? Because the victims were homeless and officials are dismissing their lives. As policymakers, we cannot mitigate preventable heat deaths if we are being lied to about the extent of the crisis.

President Trump is obviously rattled.

A new poll shows Americans are seeing through the noise. While some try to divide us with fear and lies, a record-high 79% recognize the truth: immigration makes our nation and economy stronger. #WeMakeAmericaWork seiu.co/3GIyoxN

Senator Lindsay Graham says to not look at polls showing that Americans don’t want war with Iran, that we’re not the ones going. Well Senator, you’re not going, either. Believe it or not, we don’t want troops to die because you want a war.

California Sen. Alex Padilla was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference and handcuffed. "I am Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary." Video from @Elex_Michaelson on X via Padilla's staff.

“We are relieved that David is free and reunited with his family and we are deeply grateful to the hundreds of elected officials, civil rights leaders, labor partners and allies from across the nation who stood in solidarity...” @seiupres.bsky.social, April Verrett's full statement: seiu.co/3ZYw24f

Trump’s federal government is crossing a dangerous line by deploying military force against civilians exercising their right to protest. This is an authoritarian escalation. Immigrants are our family, our friends, our neighbors. They contribute, they belong, and they deserve dignity not persecution.

While the boys are fighting for power and headlines, this “big beautiful bill” will leave nearly 11 million people without healthcare. Stripping coverage from millions isn’t bold leadership, it’s reckless. Healthcare isn’t a bargaining chip, it’s a human right! #HealthcareForAll

The most urgent threat to our democracy isn’t external, it’s internal. The corruption of our campaign finance system, particularly billionaire-funded Super PACs that have turned elections into auctions. We need elections powered by people not billionaires. No more auctions. Let the people choose.

It shouldn’t be this hard to start and support a family. People should make living wages, be able to buy homes, and retire at a reasonable age. Instead, our system has sunk working class people into student and medical debt while paying high rents and making low wages.

Target continues to let us know what it stands for. news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and...

APS just got a nice return on its investment in Arizona's leaders www.azcentral.com/story/opinio... via @azcentral

Not only are they ignoring climate change—they’re trying to cover up the cost. Shutting down NOAA’s disaster tracking so we can’t see the BILLIONS it’s costing us? This ain’t solving the crisis—it’s hiding it.

BREAKING: White House says that those who leaked the story about Pete Hegseth giving war plans to his family on Signal might be prosecuted. So, the whistleblowing is the crime, not the crime itself.

Our cover this week.

Our tax dollars are paying for this White House employee who behaves in a hateful, racist, unethical (posting lies) and unprofessional manner. Your tax dollars and mine are paying for this 💩!

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

A presidential effort to revoke Harvard University's tax-exempt status could run up against a number of challenges, including violating federal law.

We are STILL not shopping at Target.

At a rally in Los Angeles, 65-year-old Phil Ansell said he wanted to participate because "I want to do everything possible to protect democracy in this country."

Arizona Latino Caucus Co-Chairs Miranda and Sandoval React to Musk/Trump/Vance Central Committee’s Despicable Actions Toward Underage Migrants The despicable MAGA war on children not looking for a private school voucher knows no bounds. Full funding for public schools? But where are we going to…

The Democratic establishment regularly ignores their base. This is just another instance of ignoring the will of the people.

“Not only is this nonsensical, but it dishonors all Native American veterans and their families who have given so much to protect this country.” via @diinsilversmith.bsky.social

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Sean Murphy resigned from the Department of Justice, telling NPR, 'It just was not a Department of Justice that I any longer wanted to associate with.'"

#BREAKING: President Trump has signed an executive order to begin dismantling the U.S. Department of Education and transfer power to individual states.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: Trump just signed an executive order directing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to start dismantling the Department of Education. The complete elimination of the department would require the approval of Congress.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The ESA voucher scam is part of “an organized effort to create an environment where it is hard for public schools to exist.” Project 2025 uses Arizona’s failed universal ESA voucher program as a model – now, the Trump administration is pushing to roll it out across the country😡

Protect your right to drop off your ballot! Take action now. 2 mins of your time! Twin bills up for a vote this week. #AZLeg act.allvotingislocal.org/a/protect-az...

More than 200 executive orders expected tomorrow. Not one of them will lower the price of eggs.

Let’s be clear: the whole thing is a con. TikTok could’ve kept the app rolling on Sunday but by shutting down & mentioning Trump, he gets to be the savior. One of many examples of companies & billionaires bowing down. It’s BS. But it’s also the reality. Let’s not give Trump anymore opportunities 👍🏾

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

“America First” should mean: -No endless wars -No homelessness -No medical debt -No student debt -Living wages -Healthcare for all -Data privacy for all

ICYMI: This week, AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes announced another instance of massive fraud in AZ’s ESA voucher program. An out-of-state couple is accused of stealing over $110K in taxpayer dollars for falsified “ghost children.” 👻😲

Arizona is so lucky to have Stephanie back at the Capitol and I'm proud @climateaf.bsky.social made her one of our first 2024 endorsements last December!
