Interesting thoughts.
#Arizona's bluest county held (6) events with over a cumulative total attendance of 600 community members.
The only elected official seen is our Sheriff who spoke at the last event of the day.

As @GovBillLee thanks Trump for $50 Billion for rural health, keep in mind he’s hoping we forget they just cut $1 TRILLION from Medicaid to give tax cuts to the rich
$1 TRILLION > $50 BILLION

Americans are now spending more time alone than ever, @dkthomp.bsky.social wrote in January. It’s changing our personalities, our politics, and even our relationship to reality.

It's been 50 years since AZ Republic reporter Don Bolles was assassinated. Rep. Bliss says it's finally time for AZ lawmakers to erect a monument to him near the Capitol - and for some GOP lawmakers to get out of the way of the majority who want it. tucson.com/news/state-r...

Got a question on what hoopla is- basically it's an extra collection/service libraries can purchase to supplement their own digital collections on Libby,etc.
Its layout is most similar to a streaming platform with different recommendation categories, etc. But it's got a lot more formats.

I’m not involved in the NY-12 race, but this video is a PERFECT example of why I started fundraising for Dems.
I’ve raised over $21 MILLION *directly* for hundreds of Democratic candidates to date without making a single phone call, sending a single text or a single email.

For some inexplicable reason a few of our local Community Food Bank boxes were removed from public places over the last few weeks.
I believe the intentions were good.
However, hunger does not go away just because the holidays do.
