Proud that AZ Democratic legislators walked out of the joint legislative session today as ICE Director Homan spoke, in order to highlight the people who are being disappeared without due process and often without any criminal history.

There are complicated, structural reasons for the recent surge in electric prices (maybe a future thread on that) and beware of simple narratives. But prioritizing the most expensive generation is, quite literally, the dumbest possible solution.

Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Reprehensible retaliatory investigation by the Trump Admin - all because Sen. @captmarkkelly.bsky.social stated the facts: the oaths sworn are to the Constitution and laws of the United States, and do not extend to illegal orders.
Breaking news: The Pentagon has launched an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona) for alleged misconduct after he and other Democrats urged military members to disobey unlawful orders in a recent viral video.

Listen, Trump. Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch.
Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.
America deserves better.

New threats from Trump:
The president just endorsed a post reading, "Go get all those traitorous sons of bitches for sedition at the very least. Those pompous traitorous communists should be impeached and prosecuted."

My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

The "peace president" threatens to execute people who object to his war crimes.
The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.
The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

From the boat bombings to deportations to prosecutions, the evidence mounts. And the speaker of the House could get to the bottom of it if he wanted to. Yeah, right.

Good! But it's almost 2026 and we're just getting around to that? This should've been a push starting in 2020, and a Dem at the state Leg. should be introducing a bill every session. Shoutout to @priya4az.bsky.social for taking up the banner, being serious about the issue. Also, let's do story time!
The document approved this week by council members also includes a request not found in previous years’ agendas: repealing an Arizona law that prohibits cities from creating rent control policies.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Kudos to this article pointing out that AZ Republicans' first ballot referrals this year are:
- based on old conspiracy theories
- intended to make it harder to vote
- going to cause longer lines on election day
- nonsensical / badly written (AI generated?)

This sounds like religious persecution
"The attorney in the New York office spoke in depth about the plan being recently updated to include mosques and liberal synagogues in the wake of Zohran Mamdani’s recent win in the New York City mayor’s race."
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...
