The bus came by, and I got on, that's when it all began. Hunkered in Phoenix since 1960. (Votes in LD27 CD8)
Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."
Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia, and Washington hold their #primaryelection today. Naturally mainstream pundits will be reading the tea leaves but they have such a horrible track record of interpreting voter sentiment & enthusiasm. The only thing that matters is massive turnout in #November.

Surely there must be hospital staffers who can confirm (or deny) that #McConnell is in the hospital room. I don't need specifics about his health but there's no way that they would keep a deceased body holding a room or on some life support machine or whatever without somebody knowing about it. 💀
Just me, or is anyone else worried that a ~22% turnout in a Primary is not reflecting a ton of voter engagement? #ArizonaElections Yesterday was how we test the readiness of our GOTV and election systems. Phoning it in because it's "only the primary" seems like a happy-go-lucky mindset. 🙄
Update: Lombardo (fake Green Party candidate) got fewer than 500 votes for Governor in yesterdays primary election. #ArizonaElections Nonetheless, she will be on the ballot in November to confuse Independent voters. Election interference takes many shapes. azmirror.com/2026/07/13/r...

That Congress has not ripped away any ability to implement tariffs from a sundowning toddler with the economic understanding of a reasonably smart gerbil is itself an indictment of the entire system
Hey Arizona 👋 TOMORROW is the primary election. Get your ballots in if you haven’t yet— or vote in person. No matter how old you are, make a plan to vote this primary!
I wondered who was paying for all those Green party signs for Gov & AG. Turns out they're sham GOP assholes. azmirror.com/2026/07/13/r...

Clara Pratte grew up in a rural town on the eastern edge of the Navajo Nation without running water or electricity in her home. Now she’s asking voters to send her to Phoenix to regulate the utilities that serve millions of Arizonans across the state. www.kjzz.org/politics/202...

These are hilarious: Lindsey Graham Dick Cheney Mitch McConnell And Jesus Meet the Skrimps
"Putin got me, poisoned my tea somehow..." Lindsey Graham & Mitch McConnell, puppets in real life, puppets in death or near death.
Greg Pollock and I expand arguments we have made of late of why electric vehicle manufacturing is central to U.S. national security and economic competitiveness. Advanced batteries are central building blocks of 21st century economy. If you want viable battery sector, you need EVs.
Why Electric Vehicles Are the Future
If the United States wants a viable battery sector, it needs to embrace electric vehicles.

China now makes 75 percent of all E.V.s sold anywhere on earth. (US makes around 5 percent.) GM/Ford on the ropes with their lackluster EV initiatives (not wholly self-inflicted). Hard to imagine a meaningful turnaround. I love my Bolt EUV but will never own a #Tesla www.nytimes.com/2026/07/15/m...
The American E.V. Has Been Crushed. Will It Take the U.S. Auto Industry With It? (Gift Article)
The largest U.S. automakers have backed away from electric vehicles, even as global sales are booming. The decision may make them obsolete.

Nothing lights a fire more than a strongly worded letter... ...oh. Right. ....Never mind. 🙄 Plan B: Maybe the Governor should pay a visit to the hospital to express his well wishes and check on the patient in person.
