America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

It's no secret that #science and #publichealth are under attack... what can we do about it? Join us Friday, November 14, at noon (MST) to learn about the work of @defendpublichealth.bsky.social with @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social. Details and RSVP here: secularaz.org/single-event...

Arizonans, if you were one of 20,000 people at the Mortgage Matchup Center on November 5th for the Tate McRae concert, or November 5-6 or at the Home2 Suites Hilton on Jackson Street, you may have been exposed to measles.

For folks (and journalists) who want to search the Oversight Committee email texts, I made a database for searching the 20k text files: splendorous-chaja-f79791.netlify.app

I’m in!

San Rafael Valley in southern AZ is a heartbreakingly gorgeous grassland that provides vital wildlife connectivity. It is being destroyed by the border wall right.this.minute. Join us for a Rally Nov 15 from noon-4! Art, music, poetry, speakers, food, prayer #tucson docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I am proud to finally introduce Arizona’s newest Congresswoman, Rep. Adelita Grijalva.

The oversight committee just dropped 20,000 new Epstein files. Here they are, in case anyone's interested. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Newly released emails show Epstein’s expansive network of international associates, whom he often corresponded with about Trump’s first-term policy decisions.

In my opinion, one of the biggest revelations from the Epstein-Trump emails is that Michael Wolff -- who calls himself a journalist -- acted as a publicist and PR crisis manager for the most notorious sexual predator in recent memory. And he did this for YEARS!

Re-upping this thread from August with facts about Trump and his child molester friends. Please consider sharing this damning evidence of Trump's depravity.

It's official: 2015-2025 are the 11 warmest years on record . With the global temperature 1.42°C above pre-industrial levels, we are living through the consequences of inaction. Every fraction of a degree matters. #GlobalWarming #ClimateAction

Gas stoves emit methane, nitrogen dioxide and fine particulates at levels known to contribute to asthma and cardiovascular disease. 🧪 NEW STUDY: The annual indoor health cost of a single gas stove = $5,258 A big part this is from childhood asthma. www.zmescience.com/medicine/gas...

I'm a huge fan of Chicago media critic @markjacob.bsky.social. Every week he has a brutally smart take on politics & the news media. This week may be my favorite yet with this graphic ⤵️ & this line: "If only the media acted more like frogs"

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal". But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

No health care, no deal.

Dems should be all over THIS, not caving on a shutdown and healthcare premiums on which the publicly currently clearly blame Trump and the GOP for.

CBP/ICE DRIVE-BY PEPPER SPRAYING OF A ONE YEAR OLD. my god this is vile, just vile. #Chicago

At this point, it’s utterly bonkers that any Democrat would trust any Republican to negotiate in good faith.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Americans can’t afford this deal. Democrats can fight AND win — just like we did in our budget battle in Michigan. A promise isn’t a deal. Don’t settle.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:

@mendoza4az.bsky.social is the Marine veteran who will unseat Juan Ciscomani in AZ-06! JoAnna’s story of lifting herself from humble beginnings in rural AZ to Marine Drill Sergeant to 2 Masters degrees is one of the most compelling I’ve ever heard. Project 2026-Flip the House!

Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.

Arizona friends: Below is a resource to use to learn when your SNAP benefits will be available to you this month... provided the SCOTUS opts to allow families and children to eat: view.sfmc.azdes.gov?qs=b8ffca8cd...

Finally. Thank heavens. Arizona SNAP recipients start to receive benefits for November, governor says www.azfamily.com/2025/11/08/a...

The Tuesday election was a message to Democrats to keep fighting. People are scared at what Trump is doing to their lives and our democracy. And they desperately want the opposition party to stand up to him, not willingly get run over.

The Trump administration should stop holding 900,000 Arizonan's food benefits hostage during the month of Thanksgiving. I'm proud to be fighting alongside 25 other states to ensure Arizonans can access their food benefits. Full press release here: www.azag.gov/press-releas...

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else. Republicans said no. So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS. Republicans OWN this shutdown.

Despite multiple court rulings, the Trump administration is holding SNAP funding hostage cruelly and illegally. Yesterday, we asked the Court to compel the federal government to pay full benefits. Learn more at www.azag.gov/press-releas.... coppercourier.com/2025/11/06/a...

Full circle

I think these images of Halloween 2025 are going to stick with Americans for a long time to come. Trump's party with women in oversized champagne glasses & out of control federal agents drawing guns on the people of Chicago. I wrote about the split screen here: open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Speaker Johnson kicked me out of his office. Here's why.

A 17 minute conversation and the Tucson office could not tell me one public event #Ciscomani has had outside Tucson while he's on paid vacation

The real choice Democrats face is not between a continuing resolution that allows the government to function normally or a government shutdown. Under the Trump regime, the government is not functioning normally. It is already shutting down. Democrats must not legitimize Trump's coup.

Proud to fight Trump's illegal tariffs driving up costs for everyone alongside my fellow AGs @agdanrayfield.bsky.social and @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov. youtube.com/shorts/nQDdD...

I launched the American Mobilization Project because the fight can’t wait until 2028 or even 2026. AMP channels thousands of small contributions to anti-Trump mobilization all over the country. 1/ A few groups funded by AMP had big wins last night.

I’m proud to be representing Arizona in Washington D.C. for the oral arguments in our tariff case before the Supreme Court.

Arizona AG Kris Mayes: "Our founding fathers placed the power to tax Americans in Congress. They did not believe that we should have a president or king who had the power to tax and to levy these kinds of tariffs that are having a devastating impact on our states."

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.

I'm glad a court agreed with us that Trump cannot illegally withhold SNAP funding. While we wait for those contingency funds to go out, we are still all going to need to step up to make sure our fellow Arizonans don't go hungry.
