Scott Neely is using $1 million in public funds to campaign. What a ludicrous setup.

Scott Neely attacking Biggs for Mormon? Bad if so. I saw the thing about Sean Noble (but it was actually Mike Noble).

Katie Hobbs campaign promoting the Biggs/Lake signs. That's not anti-Mormon.

[Stephen Richer @stephen_richer]

@consrevativdork Same people who stood behind Steve Slayton (stolen valor), Anthony Kern (Brady List), Mark Finchem (do not rehire).

And of course the outfit behind it... is filled with... mistakes.

They're not serious people.

[Stephen Richer @stephen_richer]

Public funding of campaigns has to be one of the dumbest ideas ever.

(I'm not blaming Neely or anyone else who takes public funding. Hate the game, not the player).

[Brahm Resnik @brahmresnik]

GOP candidate Scott Neely just got $1M in public funding for governor's race. How will he spend it? 'We're going to take an all-of-the-above approach to taking Biggs out,' per @sbarchenger. #AZGOV https://t.co/wnhUblCYI4 via @azcentral

I want to know where @andybiggs4az is on this.

Intel is a huge Arizona employer (approx 10,000-12,000).

Is it appropriate for the federal government to be the largest shareholder of one of the largest "private" employers in Arizona?

[Stephen Richer @stephen_richer]

@congressbslog @andybiggs4az Yes. That's how communism works.

West Virginia.

DOJ now 0-13 against the states in lawsuits to obtain full voter database including SSN.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

JUST IN: 13th straight rejection of DOJ's legal effort to compel states to turn over their voter rolls.

George W. Bush-appointed Judge Thomas Johnston wonders what DOJ is really driving at. https://t.co/GsPY3bYRNn

Rise of DSA and progressives?

What does it mean for the Dem party?

What does it mean for American governance?

We'll discuss with @henryolsenEPPC , senior fellow at @EPPCdc and columnist @washingtonpost

Join us live. Ask questions. Tomorrow. 12:15 ET

@MCStarlite67 @andybiggs4az Hi bot. The Biden Administration ended in January 2025.

The Trump administration acquired 10% equity in August 2025.

Go be a Trump bot somewhere else.

MAJOR BREAKING: At approximately 2:54 PM this afternoon Salt Lake City reached 109° for the first time in recorded history. Record books go back to 1874! Just absurd heat for this region!

The lake breeze has not kicked in so 110° is possible if cloud cover doesn’t pick up.

[Stephen Richer @stephen_richer]

Nope.

There are a lot of advantages to BMDs over hand-marked ballots.

And both still produce an auditable paper trail to ensure tabulator accuracy.

[Gabriel Sterling @GabrielSterling]

Again, every contest on every ballot in GA has been reviewed and compared to the election outcomes. Of the 1.11 million ballots cast, there were only 23 discrepancies…all 23 were on hand marked paper. Again showing hand marked is less reliable than Ballot Marking Device ballots.

[Stephen Richer @stephen_richer]

The United States Supreme Court will review RNC v. Mi Familia Vota...

which stems from an Arizona law signed in 2022 pertaining documented proof of citizenship for voter registration.

Here's why that's important:

Not a big deal for the administration of the November elections.

Thanks to Tom, Ben, and Don (who left a few months ago for The Heritage Foundation) for their years of ethical committed service. Good guys.

President Trump terminated the last three members of the Election Assistance Commission, the independent, federal commission that assists election administration officials nationwide, according to one person familiar with the decision and two other people briefed on the terminations https://t.co/ABHOe47LAZ

[Greg Bluestein @bluestein]

An audit of all 1.11 million ballots cast in Georgia’s runoff elections found just 23 “discrepancies.” Every one of them involved hand-marked paper ballots. #gapol
