One of the best minds and humans of integrity I’ve ever had the pleasure to call “friend.”
Sending my thanks to Stephen Gilman, an #AZ03 resident & Vice President of the International Association of Firefighters, who’s out in LA offering a helping hand.

Arizonans like Stephen are always stepping up when there are folks in need— proud to have him on my transition team.

Random observation: The @nflbluesky.bsky.social season gets more interesting as it reaches the #playoffs. It's the opposite with #collegefootball. Meaningless bowl games and now an eternal playoff.

Let it end already.😒

Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Axon leaving would cost #Arizona 5,550 tech jobs and $3.8 billion in annual economic impact.

And likely will end up with a massive fulfillment center truck depot built in Scottsdale, since the site is zoned industrial.
Axon cancels groundbreaking of new headquarters in Scottsdale
Axon said it’s still “deeply committed” to staying in Scottsdale.

On the same note, I could have won too. Except I didn’t run either.

How well can I comedically predict the year ahead? Only if it's true that even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes.

Opinion: A look back at the stormy year ahead
Sure, 2025 promises to be a heckuva turbulent year, but have no fear. Our annual tradition of reviewing the year ahead before it happens cuts way back on the anxiety.

Kind of #funny. I've lived in Arizona 30 years. I've never met a soul who thinks of #Tucson as a "mountain town."

#Flagstaff, sure. #Sedona? Yep. But if we're playing word association, you say "Tucson," I say, "Mmmm. Dusty?"
This Arizona city was named the top mountain town in the US. Here's why
Three Arizona cities were named among the top mountain towns in the U.S. in a new study. See which cities made the list and why.

Very modest (and the glasses are very demure). @debkrol.bsky.social does way better than an okay job. She's a rockstar!

No team in #NFL history plays better in meaningless games than the Arizona Cardinals. The lower the stakes, the better their effort.
