Wherever you are on the rebirth-trauma spectrum, that’s OK. We're the continuation of the work before us & you're the energy our future needs.

Let's take apart the rigged system & uproot inequalities. Be an agent of change this election. #VOTE https://t.co/U6DAq1kLPm

State Rep. @MatthewGress doesn't disclose that Gretchen Jacobs is a high-powered lobbyist and a donor to his re-election campaign.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The city of Tempe, AZ, is turning off all of its Flock cameras and ending its contract with this AI surveillance company backed by Big Tech oligarchs like Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel.

Good.

The American people do not want to be tracked and recorded by AI.

[Stephen Richer @stephen_richer]

This is such an awesome document to have if you’re gonna sue the county for Title VII violation based on religion.

Failure to hire.
Failure to promote.
Demotion.
Termination.
Hostile work environment.

County leadership saying this during work hours.

Another issue with Ralph Heap's campaign finance disclosures emerges.

Apparently he paid WELL below the market rate for professional signature gatherers.

Suggesting he was being subsidized by other campaigns or outside groups.

Arizona and Maricopa County have a long bipartisan tradition of administering our elections in fair and transparent manner. Recorder Justin Heap has spent his time in public office engaged in conspiracy theories about elections and operating as a rabid partisan. Instead of build trust as Recorder, Heap has been adversarial and there is little trust that he won’t put his thumb on the scale for this election.

[Steve Gallardo @Steve_Gallardo]

Why did Recorder Heap throw America First Attorney and Turning Point under the bus. Recorder Heap could’ve had it all but decided to settle for scraps. Heap decided to take on less responsibility on conducting elections.

Internal emails betwween Justin Heap, Scott Jarrett,and SamStone

[Thomas Galvin: Maricopa County Brd of Supervisors @ThomasGalvin]

These conflicting emails below show that Justin Heap has lost operational control. And that the Recorder’s Office is now a disorganized disaster.

[TJ L'Heureux @tjlheureux0]

Total clown show at @RecordersOffice

[The AZ - abc15 - Data Guru @Garrett_Archer]

An email where Recorder @azjustinheap chief of staff Sam Stone agrees with a split in responsibilities, followed by a letter from the Recorder saying the only person authorized to agree to these changes is an attorney paid for by the America First Legal Foundation.

[Craig Harris @CraigHarrisNews]

ESA parents have stockpiled $350 million in leftover voucher funds, which some are using for college. (It was $440 million last year).

@GOP lawmakers refuse to touch those funds but are cutting 2.5 percent from all state agencies except public safety.

[Craig Harris @CraigHarrisNews]

The amount of money -- $350 million -- that ESA parents have stockpiled for their kids future use (college, backyard playground, trips to Disneyland)
is more than what would have been generated for public education had @GOP lawmakers asked voters to approve Prop 123.

[Wayne Schutsky @WayneSchutsky]

An internal investigation by Maricopa County substantiated allegations that staffers from Recorder Justin Heap’s office acted inappropriately after they were caught on tape removing equipment from the county’s central tabulation center.

[Sasha Hupka @SashaHupka]

Meanwhile, a county judge set two hearings on Monday.

One is on County Attorney Rachel Mitchell's concerns that Heap's lawyer is encroaching on her duties.

Another is on the contempt of court and scanner situation with Heap and the BOS.

"...if a single Tempe voter was disenfranchised because of Recorder Heap’s partisan gamesmanship, he, and any who helped him deny my city’s voters their constitutional rights will face the full consequence of the law.”

[Randy Keating @RandyKeating]

"[Recorder Heap] needs to do his job, put down his phone, tell his staff to stop tweeting, and get to work, because this is an outrageous dereliction of duty, and unfortunately for Mr. Heap and whoever else participated, that dereliction of duty is now directly affecting the city that I represent, and I'm mad as hell about it."

NEW: Chair @KateMcGeeAZ responds to latest falsehoods from Recorder @azjustinheap 1/2

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Former Senator Kyrsten Sinema, famous for killing the $15 minimum wage, is now a crypto lobbyist.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

Gas prices up nearly 50%.

Groceries up 30%.

Health insurance up 26%.

Childcare up 9%.

Trump’s "Golden Age" is working for billionaires while working people are paying the price.

America last.
