Axon has officially entered the Scottsdale City Council race. 💵💵
"Better Together"—an Axon front group—has begun flooding the airwaves with attacks on frontrunners Bob Littlefield, Michelle Ugenti-Rita, and me—the only candidates who stood up to their massive apartment project and continue to oppose their goal to turn Scottsdale into a city that "surpasses Seattle."
They have unlimited resources and will use them to elect rubber-stamp loyalists.
If you don’t want a massive corporation impacting our council election by hand-picking your City Council members, chip in and help me fight back: https://t.co/YEjnabeWVE
Here it is:
Leaked phone call recording of Karen Bass:
@KarenBassLA “Hopefully you can read in between the lines. I would just appreciate—it’s hard for me to tell you this—but hold tight. You will understand soon.”
Preemptively defended Ghana trip despite local catastrophe: “I’m missing two workdays, that’s it,” and dropped a cryptic warning days before the Los Angeles fires.
A: Just three days before fires erupted in the Los Angeles area, Bass issued a cryptic message advising people to “read in between the lines and hold tight… you will understand soon,” suggesting she was aware of significant developments that would soon impact the city.
B: Bass also acknowledged the growing dangers surrounding MacArthur Park. “The situation is very dangerous,” she said, citing security concerns. She remained adamant in her refusal to hold a press conference, stating, “I will take the criticism before I do a publicity stunt—and frankly, a press conference at this point in time would just be publicity.”
C: Bass further explained her position, stating, “If I have a choice between that and compromising something, I just have to go along with it. It’s not my area of expertise,” emphasizing her lack of qualifications to make informed decisions regarding the area.
D: When the source emphasized the safety concerns of residents and property owners MacArthur Park, noting that "41,000 people live within a square mile here," Bass maintained her stance stating, "But they want to hear that something is going to be done,” making it clear that no action is currently being taken to address security risks.
@JamesOKeefeIII is the needs
🚨 here's the chain of events you need to see..
Spencer Pratt sits down with CBS for a full hour..
CBS fact-checks Karen Bass on camera..
CBS "gets the call"..
CBS cuts the interview to 5 minutes..
Pratt posts about it publicly.. calls it a hit piece..
the internet loses its mind.. demands the real version..
CBS quietly drops a 30-minute extended cut..
and here's the part nobody's connecting..
the only reason any of this happened is because Pratt went public.. if he stayed quiet.. you never see 30 seconds of that interview.. let alone 30 minutes..
a sitting mayor allegedly called a major network after getting fact-checked.. and the network folded.. until the public got loud enough that folding the other way was the safer move..
that's not journalism.. that's damage control with a rewind button..
the system worked for someone today.. just not for you.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨
@Qb6Trae@HuskerFootball We met your friends Jeff and Jeffery McCall at the airport. Great father and son! Wishing you the best! They think the world of you! Husker nation is lucky you’re on our team! #GBR 🙏🏻
@SouthwestAir get your bag storage figured out! So annoying to not have bag space universal our seat. Been an A-list preferred for years. Having to wait for someone in row 2 or 3 to get their bags above row four or five is annoying!
