gerrymandering has helped destroy the politics in Arizona as long as I can remember. It is trying to dig itself out, but until something is done about it, the MAGA rural areas are ruining it for everyone here
2025 HIGHLIGHT: The terms "redistricting" and "redrawing" are neutral. Gerrymandering occurs when the redistricting process is manipulated for partisan gain.

it’s mind-boggling to me at my age to suddenly find out. I am the “enemy”.
One violent act by one perpetrator. Then suddenly an entire group is declared the enemy. If it feels like MAGA treats every tragedy as proof that “the left” or any out-group is inherently dangerous, you’re not imagining it. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-maga...

The Russians have tried to assassinate Zelensky many times. Never seems to have bothered Trump.
Trump on a report that Ukraine tried to strike Putin's residence: "I don't like it. It's not good. I heard about it this morning. You know who told me about it? President Putin told me about it ... I was very angry about it."

The last four words are also important here. The USAID cuts should primarily be seen as a eugenicist project. Elon Musk and the far right, generally, believe that foreign aid is a part of the Great Replacement.
This thought has been lingering in my head for a while but this tweet prompted me to write it out.

Since Trump is now demanding treatment of the Epstein files outside the four corners of the law HE signed, I'm going to have to assume he used the autopen.

The regime, in its zeal to punish the disabled, for instance, break Federal law here:
"Many Head Start programs also receive federal funding through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act specifically to identify and support young children with disabilities.

Trump's HHS has banned nearly 200 words for Head Start programs—like “‘disability,’ ‘women,’ ‘Tribal,’” and more—forcing programs to choose between complying with the law or bending to Trump's unlawful DEI ban to keep funding.
This is outrageous. I'm demanding answers.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

this explains why Arizona is number 50 in the US. We have never been high in the rankings, but after the people voted against vouchers, we were overruled by the legislature who is very red and very MAGA so this is what you get when you just destroy public education.

In 2023, 13.5% of Americans struggled to buy food at some point — the highest rate in nearly a decade.
How is the Trump regime addressing this crisis?
By cutting $1 billion from federal programs that support food banks across the country.
The cruelty is the point.
