This is blatant political intimidation from the federal government. You can remain confident that my office will not be deterred from serving all Arizona voters and delivering a safe and secure 2026 midterm election. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I have to think that is part of the idea. The part they call flooding the zone. In the fog of insanity they created, more than a few of them are getting away with all kinds of crime.

Meanwhile, he has influencers flooding social media with video's and posts saying how much we need it and how it doesn't cost the Tax Payers a dime. He is a liar, amongst all his faults it is his forte. He will lie and then lash out when called on it.

Only in America can one party control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, win the popular vote,and hold the majority of governorships... and still blame the other party for everything wrong with this country

In Trump’s economy McDonalds is a rare luxury. Had enough yet?

It doesn't take a genius to know that being the country that was attacked, Iran will want some guarantees that it won't be attacked again. 'Open the strait or we'll bomb you even more' is not a great gambit for peace.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social If someone were to run for president who had a plan to codify the restriction of presidential powers I think they'd win. That, and the Supreme Court too.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Frugal: So I found this excellent way to read all the magazines I love for free. Okay, I have to wait a month for an issue, but I don't have to leave my house to do it. I subscribe to them on Libby through my local library. I can't "share them." I can read them and write about them. Just a thought.

Arizona is a very beautiful state. All our lands are in danger from this guy who has to keep telling people he's a builder because, honestly, he never built anything. He's innately destructive by nature and he specifically hates nature and wildlife.

"...history should look back on his tenure with revulsion."

"In a maximum-gerrymandering scenario, more than 400 seats in the House could be safe and essentially uncontestable, delivering to voters year after year an unresponsive and unimpeachable class of lazy representatives with little incentive to represent them" www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Credibility is shot to heck but hey, Vance says that UFOs aren't aliens but demons, so gird your loins, demons have jumped out of Hegseth's bottle and Trump's going to tell us about them "very soon." open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Interesting way to say, people are living off their credit cards because wages are stagnant and the cost of living is quickly becoming unaffordable to many and uncomfortable for the majority. What an ass he is.

It is definitely one of the most honest. "Our goal is to fix what we broke and take credit for fixing it" is not the celebrated achievement that Marco is claiming it to be. It is good enough for Trump's fawning sycophants like Marco, however.

Put him on YouTube and C-Span for all to watch. Americans and the survivors deserve to see him lie under oath then suffer the consequences. #EpsteinFiles #LiarsGonnaLie

Trump says that the price of his ballroom potentially doubling over time isn't a "cost overrun" because the higher cost was announced a long time ago when they increased its size. The one thing consistent with Trump is the grift.

More and more Americans rank health care as a top concern in public polling. Instead of expanding access, Trump has attacked Obamacare, cutting millions off coverage. I’m on @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social today to unpack this reckless move.
