Environmental activists move to protect cottonwoods threatened by Az border wall, as Trump's bloated DHS rewards Trump donors with huge contracts to construct border wildlife barriers where human immigration is rare or absent. www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report...

🚨 BREAKING: We just sued Trump’s Deputy AG Todd Blanche to kick him out of federal court—for life. He’s Trump’s personal lawyer AND runs the DOJ. That’s not a conflict… that’s a coup! open.substack.com/pub/american...

We had The Big Lie, and now the White House is using our tax dollars to perpetuate even more of lies and distortions. This makes me so f****ng depressed that I could cry. www.whitehouse.gov/mediabias/

The U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island granted a permanent injunction in Rhode Island vs Trump: attempts to dismantle the Institute of Museum and Library Services were unlawful, unconstitutional, and in direct violation of clear statutory directives. www.aam-us.org/2025/11/24/m...

Some of my favorite signs from this morning's protest outside the office of absentee Congressman Juan Ciscomani (R, AZ-6).

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

A huge energized crowd participated in #NoKings 2.0 in Oro Valley, Arizona.

Impressive number of #NoKings protesters in Oro Valley, Arizona on October 18.

Our Federal agencies continue to violate the Hatch Act by posting illegal banners at the top of their home pages, falsely blaming Democrats for the government shutdown. This morning I encountered this repulsive banner on the Small Business Administration website.

This is the Hatch Act violation banner on today's home page of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). (Republicans control Congress and the White House; they have the power to end the shutdown on a moment's notice.)

look at the map here -- more than 2000 protests planned already... www.nokings.org

More photos of this morning's Ciscomani protest.

This morning I joined fellow Tucsonans in a protest outside the office of my cowardly Republican Representative Juan Ciscomani (AZ-6) who refuses to represent his constituents. Here are photos of my favorite signs.

Trump’s approval in the swing states is abysmal open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

Arizonans enrolled in AHCCCS, the state’s Medicaid program, will no longer be able to visit their local Planned Parenthood clinic for an STI test or a cancer screening starting this week. Planned Parenthood stops accepting Arizona Medicaid as Trump ban takes effect azmirror.com/briefs/plann...

Trump officials and right-wing media are using the vaccine side effects database out of context. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System is made up of unverified self-reports of side effects. azmirror.com/2025/09/18/t...

AZ Rep. Gosar's renewed attempt to undo protections for Ironwood Forest National Monument is appalling. www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report...

A souvenir from yesterday's demonstration outside the office of Rep. Juan Ciscomani (AZ-6), hosted by the League of Conservation Voters.

Gosh, we can't imagine why!

I joined today's protest outside the office of my spineless Representative Juan Ciscomani (R, AZ-6), organized by the League of Conservation Voters. A beautiful day to demonstrate against a plethora of wrongs.

apnews.com/article/ariz...  US appeals court puts the brakes on contested land transfer for Arizona copper mine. Whew! Another last-minute pause in the destruction of sacred Oak Flat, which would be turned into an enormous open pit for copper extraction.

I haven't seen this travesty mentioned in the mainstream media--yet.

Fascinating. Condemning and correcting just spreads the disinformation we are trying to defeat. Here is how to stop doing it, with a list of terms we should never use in association with Trump, ICE, immigrants, etc. and what to say instead: reframingamerica.substack.com/p/dna-august...

285 acres of Cabeza Prieta Wildlife Refuge taken over by Navy in border security move. The latest militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border. It would be great if these troops did something useful, like picking up litter. www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report...

Congress has voted to rescind $7.9 billion that had been appropriated to foreign aid. Our data show that withholding this funding will lead to 17.1 million unintended pregnancies and 34,000 preventable maternal deaths after just one year.

Just discovered: the "Project 2025 Tracker" website that shows *all* the goals of Project 2025, by department and agency, and the progress on achieving those goals. The number of regressive goals already completed is astonishing and depressing. www.project2025.observer

Last night, House Republicans on the Rules Committee blocked a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Do not expect to see coverage of this on Fox News.

Moments after the Big Ugly Bill was passed, late on July 3 the Social Security Administration sent an appalling, misleading, and partially false politicized email to SS beneficiaries, entitled "Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors."

May this Fourth of July remind us of where we came from, of what we’re fighting for, and of who we can be. Organize. Mobilize. Resist. Power to the people.

We will use their horrific agenda to turn voters against them by the millions in the midterms. And yes, there will be midterms. Don’t even think about voicing defeatism and doing their work for them.

Trump Social Security Chief Applauds Budget Bill That Will Harm Social Security's Finances. My email: "The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits..."--no it doesn't, it just raises the standard deduction for all income. tinyurl.com/2dev4e6w
