It's the annual "Banned Books Week," when libraries and booksellers shine a light on censorship efforts. I challenge each of my followers to either buy or check out a banned book to read this week!

Globe last year experienced millions of dollars worth of damage from flooding, but Eli Crane failed to obtain FEMA funds to repair the damage. Arizona’s rural towns don’t need more of Crane’s empty promises. They need a relentless champion.
I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.
Last nights Arizona AG debate made clear: Warren Petersen is unqualified, out of touch, and too extreme for the job. AG @KrisMayes reiterated to Arizonans how she's been a lawyer for the people. And she will continue to do so when re-elected in November.
The first thing a Congressman in AZ-02 should do is be at the table for water discussions. My opponent refuses to fight for Arizona water. I will be ready to make compromises for the future of our water.
We don’t need to wait on the president to regulate AI. This is why we have different branches of government. Congress needs to bring experts to the table, work across the aisle, and move quickly on guardrails that protect America, the world, and humanity.
I hear a lot about all the investigations Dems will conduct if they win. That’s good. I hear zero about using what power they have to slow down Trump’s murder-sprint toward global incineration climate change. Absent that, it’s deck chairs.
1. Elon Musk is spending millions pushing Americans to VoteSafe, which bills itself as a voter registration site but is actually a digital surveillance machine.
This Labor Day, I reaffirm my commitment to Arizona workers and labor unions who are the backbone of this country. In Congress, I’ll make American employees a focus of my efforts as I work to support working families and small businesses. #warriorup
3/3 In 2015, Biggs blocked Katie Hobbs' bill to clear Arizona's rape kit testing backlog — after it passed committee unanimously. Now he's running for governor against her. Voters deserve to know this record before they decide who leads Arizona next.
The word that comes to mind for those who’d prevent soldiers who will be on frontlines of climate catastrophe from knowing what they’re facing is “treason.”
Stars and Stripes@starsandstripes.bsky.social · last mo.A civilian geography professor was fired from West Point for pushing back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change.
A new lawsuit hopes to win religious accommodations for millions of American workers who wish to request fossil fuel-free retirement plans from their employers. sojo.net/articles/new...
He’s Suing His Employer for Violating his Religious Right to Climate Care
Through ClientEarth, a statistical scientist is suing Thermo Fisher, arguing the company's lack of fossil-fuel free retirement plans forces him to compromise his religious values.

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.
The sitting president is a sex offender and should have to register as such.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has spent his career serving himself and his own interests. Texans deserve better than a crook who’s willing to break the law and sell out to greedy corporations. That’s why this week, we’re adding him to our 2026 Most Corrupt list.
Group names Ken Paxton among its ‘Most Corrupt Politicians’
The campaign finance group plans a voter push against Paxton after endorsing James Talarico.

Stephen Miller deserves to spend the rest of his natural life fighting a legal system charging him of crimes he didn't commit in a language he does not speak, alone, and without counsel: publicnotice.co/p/stephen-miller…
Stephen Miller's secret campaign against helpless kids
That it's happening in the shadows doesn't make it less of a moral blight.

Solar panels on football stadiums make perfect sense. The next question: how long until we see parking lots everywhere covered with solar canopies too? Generate power. Provide shade. Charge EVs. #Solar #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #ESG balkangreenenergynews.com/solar-power-...

I really don’t have better words for it, I’m just so tired of how much bullshit this administration spews which is readily and immediately debunked, and yet Trump’s cult following just doesn’t care. MAGA is a diagnosis that belongs in the DSM-5, not in our politics.
Radio stations KNDN and KGAK telling the radio listeners the presidential tallies in Navajo.
So a Saudi-owned farm was just casually draining Arizona groundwater like it was no big deal. Unlimited pumping. To grow alfalfa. For cows. Overseas. Meanwhile actual Arizonans are being told to conserve water. Kris Mayes saw that and said nope. Launched a full legal takedown against Fondomonte.
