Republican lawmakers want Arizona voters to force many of the state’s public schools to spend at least 60% of their budgets on instructional costs, like teacher pay.

⚠️Betsy DeVos-backed American Federation for Children has launched a FAKE initiative campaign to confuse and disenfranchise AZ voters who want to sign the Protect Education Act.

My statement regarding DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

The Arizona Mirror has an article saying our Representative Greg Stanton has not signed onto an impeachment resolution for Kristi Noem. I wonder why? Does that represent our Congressional District? I think there’s a good chance it doesn’t represent those in LD8.

Tonight’s Tempe council candidates forum at the Tempe library sponsored by LD8 and LD12 (Arlene is not wearing a hat. Elvis is just behind her. Sorry, my bad angle.)

This seems so true. Local groups are ACTIVE - Tempe Rising, Optimists Resist, LD chairs working their butts off, No Kings at the bridge, etc. DC come home and get energized. Stop hiding behind proper procedures. Wakeup! www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

Trump threatens to invoke Insurrection Act, deploy troops to quell Minnesota ICE protests - The Washington Post

NPR’s Jan. 6 archive brings together reporting, video, documents and testimony to show what really happened during the Capitol riot. Explore the timeline, cases and evidence behind the attack.

I think they caved. We can donate food. How can we donate to cover ACA? www.huffpost.com/entry/govern...

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Trump's 'Divorced From Reality' Depiction of Portland Ridiculed by Local Officials

Keep an eye on this person www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

“This is a warning to all property managers: if you endanger residents with repeated electrical outages or A/C outages, my office will come after you.” azluminaria.org/2025/08/21/o...

"When we think about the cuts to Medicaid, it isn't simply about cutting services to the poor. It's threatening services to everyone."

I’ll make it clear…since Trump’s fed pick clearly can’t. In 1970 Nixon appointed his crony Arthur Burns to keep interest rates low and inflation skyrocketed. Now Trump wants to do the same.

NEW: Arizona Republicans filed an ethics complaint against me for resharing a post when masked, armed men showed up outside a school. They want to lock me out of the Senate and stop me from doing my job. This is a straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

Courts are ruling against ICE for illegal actions such as warrantless entry, racial profiling, & detaining U.S. citizens without cause. Abuse of power isn’t just wrong—it’s unconstitutional. Hold ICE accountable. #AbuseOfPower #MeltICE

He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.
